Chatwood struggles with command in Bees start

A little worried about our 5th starter who pitched only 3 Innings while giving up 5 walks, 4 hits, and 2 runs.

Looks like a typical Chatwood outing

Plenty of base runners, a few runs.

No HBP, so no worry for Kaz II

Hopefully

he treated it like a spring training start and was working on and/or getting a better feel for his secondary pitches

This is what I was thinking

Working on pitches, and staying within his mechanics.

Changing the hitter's eye level.

Trusting his stuff...

If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?

He's still just 21 years old

He’s going to have bouts of inconsistency while he continues to develop. I believe he’s performed very well considering how far he’s come in a very short period of time.

Very true.

Hard to complain about the youngster too much. He’s done far better than I expected.

My words, exactly.

Saved me the post.

No worries

Probably wasn’t too amped for an SLC warmup start

All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

Not surprised. He's not very good, not at this point in his career.

He’s been very fortunate so far in the bigs.

I took your stash.

Unfortunately I tend to agree.

He walks way too many guys and doesn’t strike out a whole lot of them. His stuff clearly isn’t very intimidating for opposing hitters.

He gets a lot of double plays and he seems to be a competitor which is good, but his control is going to have to improve by a lot to sustain his relative success.
