The Cubs went and won themselves a ball game (the come from behind variety, again) while I was in the midst of moving all my stuff for relocation to California. That was fun, but I suppose we should address the elephant in the room that is Tyler Chatwood. In theory, Chatwood was a decent fifth starter, with some command and Coors-related issues, but still with enough stuff that he could get by. You see that at times, because his pitches have a lot of life and they induce silly swings.
The problem is that the Cubs always seem to be struggling to come from behind in Chatwood starts because he can’t go deep in games due to walking the world, and this is going to eventually be taxing on the bullpen and the collective team psyche, though you wouldn’t know it since they won’t publicly throw a teammate under the bus (at least, I don’t think so).
