Aroldis Chapman's sob story after Red Sox meltdown has Yankees fans in stitches

Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman has really been trying to get the New York Yankees' attention lately. On one hand, Chapman succeeded in his viral aims when he recently stuck his nose in the air and demanded an apology from Yankees general manager Brian Cashman. The apology never came (and never will), but the attention did.

The source of such an outlandish demand was Chapman's insistence that he was wronged in 2022 as a member of the Yanks, when Cashman and Yankees skipper Aaron Boone decided to leave Chapman off the ALDS roster due to various factors, most notably his unexplained absence from a mandatory team workout.

The Yankees don't give a darn about this situation anymore, and they have zero interest in Chapman. Boone came right out and put Chapman's viral moment to bed, asserting that Chappy deserves no such apology. Chapman wasn't performing well that season; he missed time due to a botched tattoo, and then he missed a mandatory workout. He obviously still feels guilty about this phase standing out like a stain on his resúmé, and he's trying to rewrite the history of things to absolve himself of said guilt.

Well, all of this delusion takes effort, and it looks like that effort is starting to steal away some of Chapman's powers on the mound. On Monday night in Colorado, Chapman blew a save against the lowly Rockies. The disaster inning broke a 29-save streak that was the longest of the left-hander's career. Following the game, Chapman sat alone in the clubhouse for nearly an hour, and Yankees fans can only laugh at the situation.

Aroldis Chapman's blown save was a result of the baseball gods punishing him

The manner of Chapman's blown save wasn't ordinary. It's not like he allowed a 450-foot walk-off home run. With a 2-0 lead in the ninth and the bases loaded, Chapman allowed a wacky-but-blazing ground ball off the bat of Jake McCarthy that might've resulted in a huge double play had it not veered far enough down the third base line to evade Caleb Durbin.

After escaping the infield, the ball then elusively caromed off the wall around Jarren Duran's area in left field, causing Duran to beef the play twice in a matter of five seconds — a complete comedy of errors that delighted any Yankees fans/Chapman haters looking on.

Three runs scored. The Rockies won the game. It was a moment that broke Red Sox media personality Jared Carrabis, who publicly begged the Red Sox to blow things up immediately and put this 2026 season out of its misery.

Chapman's postgame quote — "In the moment of truth, the balls went to the corners" — was just him deflecting more blame for a misfortune. That seems to be par for the course for Chapman when it comes to evaluating less-than-ideal events that happen during his MLB career ... especially when he's the main cause of the calamity.
