I was really high on the Chatwood signing 2 years ago. I'm glad he's finally making my excitement look good

I’m really surprised how well he’s pitching I thought he would be awful.

He had a really solid year out of the pen. Got his walk rate back down to his career average. If he keeps that, he'll be solid. His stuff is some of the best on the team

Getting shut out in Coors Field, what would DeRosa say? Every team has clunker, does the manager call a team meeting after this, yadda yadda.

Wick popping that curveball up right in the middle of the zone terrifies me.

Got the job done, though. Cubs win!

Barring anything crazy at the end of the last couple games tonight, at the close of business the current league leader for home runs is...

Colin Moran with 5.

Christian Vazquez, Teoscar Hernandez, and Trevor Story are tied for 2nd with 4.

And Donovan Solano leading the MLB with 13 RBI.

I was even wondering why Bochy was only platooning him last year. He clearly knew how to stay inside the ball against both righties and lefties. What he's doing isn't a fluke at all, but now it's all about if he'll be firm with good pitch recognition and if he can still do well when they open Oracle Park up again (because closing off the arcade doors right now has made the wind blow out to right field much more lately).

Rangers are having a terrible start to the season. Plus, Leclerc & Kluber are both out with the same injury.

That Kluber/Clase trade could go down as one of the most awkward trades of all time.

Cespedes didn’t show up at the ball park today and Mets have been unable to contact him. That’s not good at all...hope he’s okay.

Mets said there should be no reason to believe his safety is at risk.

Not sure why they would say that when it very well could be at risk. We live in an awful world.

Let's just hope he snuck down to Pensacola to watch the SpaceX splashdown landing.

I'd hate to think anything more sinister has occurred.

Oh wow, I thought Contreras was gonna be out at home when he ran the stop sign at 3rd. Great slide.
