Chapman Debuts and Oh Yes the Reds Lead 8-3 After Eight Innings

Hype meister du jour long legged it to the mound after his new mates built an 8-3 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers.  Reds fans made as much noise as a 19,218 crowd could.

Poor Jonathan Lucroy was the first hitter to face him in the big leagues.  Chapman threw a strike at 98 mph on the first pitch as cameras flashed.  He got a swing and miss on an 86 mph slider for strike two.  Lucroy fouled a 102mph pitch sideways and whiffed on an 86mph slider.

Craig Counsel was next.  Swing and miss at 100mph heater.  He grounded out on a 102 pitch.

Carlos Gomez next.  A 101 fastball missed inside. He was retired on a 98 mph fastball grounding out 4-3.
