White Sox(Fulmer) @ Still just Cubs(Chatwood) 1:20, NBCSN

Could have saved 35m and signed Cahill

I know this is kinda joking but pretty sure his arm blew up this week or last

[Sammy Sofa]

Chatwood is gonna win 17 to 20+ games with a sub 3.25 ERA and it’s gonna be maddening

 

And cost us at least one winnable playoff game

 

There is almost zero horsefeathering chance Chatwood starts a playoff game.

Chatwood is only going to make the postseason roster if a SP is hurt

He’ll be in the 2016 Hammel role of cheerleader

What on earth makes you think he'll make the playoff rotation?

And Smyly is actually dead.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

we have a starter on the DL because he pooped too much. Chatwood on a playoff roster is a real and terrifying possibility

[UMFan83]

Can anyone figure out what the highest BB/9 is for a qualified starter in modern MLB history?

 

If my math is correct, Chatwood is currently at 8.8

Going all the way back to 1990, only 14 starters threw more innings than Tyler Chatwood's 2018 (coming into today) and had a worse BB/9. Technically just 12, really, since Dontrelle Willis and Oliver Perez each appear on the list twice.

so you're saying he's an innovator

[Derwood]

Hey, it's great that everyone thinks that our run of good luck with pitcher health heading into October will continue, but....

[squally1313]

Chatwood has the lowest FIP of the starters. And the highest xFIP.

[Cubswin11]

What’s with the horsefeathering bunt attempts

Yes, the house of cards we've constructed assuming Chatwood is not going to make playoff starts being the 5th starter on a team with a better SP rehabbing TJS is quite unstable. Even in the negative outcome he's not starting til the NLCS and making a max of 2 playoff starts. It's okay that you forgot that he'd be out of the playoff rotation as the 5th starter.

The guy with 2 career TJ surgeries who hasn’t topped 158 innings in his career is definitely the guy we should expect to stay healthy over a bunch of guys who’ve shown to be very durable their entire careers.

Willie!

"wtf is derwood talking about" - me in the every thread

[squally1313]

wRC+s

Bryant 182

Schwarber 148

Baez 145

Contreras 121

Zobrist 115

Almora 108

[Cubswin11]

It’s been the lowest of leverage situations but Wilson looks to be on his way to being a little fixed lately.

 

Edit: indeed the eye tests matches the stats, might be time to throw him in a leverage spot soon.

low leverage borderline superstar Kris Bryant.

[Brian]

Hopefully the Big Z trade doesn’t bite us in the ass here.

[Omar]
