No reason to belabor the lede, let’s just get into things.
I’ve frequently spoken of Tyler Chatwood as a Little League pitcher, a guy whose busy delivery results in an utter lack of control than can actually serve him well at times. He ends up getting lots of called third strikes because batters just don’t expect him to throw that many good pitches in an at-bat. Of course, batters are usually right about him not throwing strikes, which is why he’s walked as many of them than he’s struck out.
What we saw from Chatwood Tuesday night, however, was a whole new level of blech.
