I was disappointed.
That's what happens when you don't stand up for your far and away best player after he gets drilled high with a 101 MPH fastball.
If someone tries to bully and intimidate your girlfriend -- and you don't do something about it right than or the next time you see them -- chances are you won't be getting the same kind of production from her that she had been giving you either.
I get that the Pirates are still only 2.5 games back in the wildcard and that they have the Reds for a 3-game series at home near the very end of the season and "can take care of things than" in front of their fans ... but McCutchen and the team he was carrying on his back have both been in a dreadful tailspin ever since Chapman beaned him.
