Easy second frame for Leake.

 

Getting out of the first unscathed was huge for the kid's confidence.

Chapman set to pitch at 2:00

Leake works his way out of a two on, no out jam in the third. The young man is super impressive... Poised beyond his years.

Leake singles up the middle for his first major hit in his first AB.

The Reds' leadoff hitter(Stubbs) with 8 K's in 18 AB's.

 

Cincy headed for another double digit strikeout day.

You can watch Chapman here....

Roadrunner Rolen gets picked off... This team's a mess right now.

Scott Rolen gets the first hit off of Tom(Seaver)Gorselanny.

 

2nd hit. Leake had one.

Rolen has been a surprisingly bad baserunner in Cincinnati, but that was a great move by Gorzelanny.

1st batter pop out.

2nd batter for Chapman - 99, 99, 99, 98, 85, 94, 95, 97 Stuck him out.

3rd batter stuck out on 101 MPH fastball.:eek::scared::eyeonyou:

That's not a typo. One zero One.

I don't care how good our pitching is if you can't score runs you won't win!!!!! We need a big bat in the middle of that lineup badly.

1-0 Cubs, middle of the fifth.

... Lee with the Ribeye.

We've all known that for years now. Apparently, the Reds' braintrust doesn't think so.
