Will a poor performance lead to Chapman in the rotation?
After the uplifting win over the Cubs on Friday afternoon in which they scored 9 runs and provided some hope to a struggling offense, the Reds (6-9) managed only 1 run against the Chicago Cubs (4-11). Mike Leake struggled giving up 5 runs in the first 2 innings and the Reds bats could not provide any run support. With the success of Aroldis Chapman, there will certainly be a debate over Chapman taking Leake's (or Bailey's) spot in the rotation. Here is the Good, Bad, and Notables from Friday's game.
The Good
-Zack Cozart got 2 hits and scored a run. He is batting .293 on the season
-The Reds managed to draw 4 walks. Is this a sign they are trying to be more patient at the plate?
-The Reds can win the series with a victory tomorrow. A key goal for playoff caliber teams is to win every series.
The Bad
- The Team struck out 7 times, with Joey Votto contributing 2.
-Mike Leake gave up 5 runs...
