No, although as good as the rest of Chatwood’s numbers are if he didn’t have a horrific 7.65 BB/9 he’d be a lot better than most #5s.

He reached base 5 times Wednesday.

That white sox pitcher's name was fitting. 4 runs none earned. What a Bummer.

Looking at his line: 5 IP. 3 hits. 5 BB 6 SO. Reminds me of Arrieta when he had the walk bug.

Think that basically what were gonna get out of Chatwood this year..
It fine as long as he not giving up a bunch of hits or Hrs following the walks..
Only thing is , probably shouldn't expect many games pass 5 innings from him

I mean his career walk rate isn't 7.5 per 9. It's roughly half that. There's certainly room for improvement that's not a pipe dream. I'm wondering if he's just more used to having to throw his stuff in colorado and doesn't have a feel for it away from there yet because his stuff is fairly filthy for a back of the rotation start. You're talking 9.08 k/9.

How have the Cubs done against good teams this year?

If only there were some sort of "baseball reference" site that contained this very information...

Yea..
I think he'll eventually get better..
I doubt he'll keep that high average all year..

He limiting the runs now with the walks because he not giving up a bunch of hits..
In Colorado it was much harder to do that.

Yes.. if he can knock those walks in half and continue to limit the hits/HRs, he can be a very effective starter

They are like .590 vs teams with a win% over .550. Think if i remember the figure right the were 5-3 vs teams under 44%(excluding today), 1-1 vs teams 45%-54% and they were 14-10 vs teams 55%+
