28 pitches for Chapman to get through one inning. Not good.

Not good enough for the Reds bullpen, either. He shouldn't be taking Horst's spot just when the Reds are starting to heat up and risking our major leads while ensuring he won't be available to pitch for days afterwards. Working with the AAA coaches again would probably do him good. I know there's value in holding onto option years, but with a guy as volatile as Chapman in a division race as close as the NL central, you really have to consider burning one, even if he won't be working on starting.
Regular ABs, please. I still think he's a prospect.Eric Campbell with his first AA homerun for the Mudcats.
