Chapman didn't agree with how Cubs used him in playoffs

Though it amounted to a championship, Aroldis Chapman wasn't too thrilled about his role in the Chicago Cubs' postseason run.

Speaking to reporters Friday after being officially revealed as the newest member of the New York Yankees, Chapman admitted he disagreed with how Cubs skipper Joe Maddon used him in the playoffs.

"Personally, I don't agree with the way he used me, but he is the manager and he has the strategy. My job is to be ready, to be ready to pitch, however that is, however many innings that is, I need to be ready for that. I need to go in and do my job," Chapman said through an interpreter, according to ESPN's Andrew Marchand.

Chapman, whose career success has come predominantly as a ninth-inning closer, was used in a more liberal role by Maddon throughout the entire postseason. The southpaw reliever was called upon in the eighth inning on five occasions in the playoffs, and even made appearances as early as the seventh inning twice.

One of those seventh-inning calls came in Game 6 of the World Series with the Cubs up 7-2 on the Cleveland Indians - a game Chapman revealed Friday he should have never pitched in.

"I don't think I needed to come into the game," Chapman said, according to The Associated Press. "The important game was going to be Game 7 because basically we had that game almost won, and the next day I came in a little tired."

Fatigue definitely appeared to hit Chapman in Game 7, as he blew a save opportunity when he allowed Rajai Davis to hit an eighth-inning home run to tie the contest 6-6. Despite the blown save, Chapman still picked up the win, as the Cubs secured their first World Series in 108 years.
