Going into his spot start for the Chicago Cubs on Sunday there was not a lot of optimism when it came to Tyler Chatwood. He hadn’t given anyone even the smallest cause for hope since joining the team prior to the 2018 season.
We’re talking about a guy who led Major League Baseball in walks – despite being removed from the rotation in early August and only seeing the mound a handful of times down the stretch.
Right off the bat, we expected to get another Chatwood special – a short outing riddled with control issues.
