Tyler Chatwood looked good, in defeat.

Cleveland Rocks.  No doubt about it, that Cleveland Indians are off to a hot start.  And when they get a a shut out from Talbot for nearly a complete came it makes a lot of sense.

Tyler Chatwood started the the first inning struggling with command and gave up a home run.  And later in the night Chatwood got taken for a three run blast.  His ERA went as high as 27.00 during the game and gradually came down to a 7.20 at the end of the night.  Chatwood gave up four hits, four walks, and four earned runs.  

Over hearing Scioscia on the radio, he mentioned something to the extent of Chatwood was aggressive and had good velocity.  What I saw was a kid, who looked pretty solid, despite the two home run balls.  But he battled back in a couple of innings, when he looked like he'd be pulled.

Walking in to Anaheim last night I had visions of Nick Adenhart dealing against Oakland and being near perfect for almost six innings.  Although Chatwood didn't have his best stuff, I think his first outing was a positive one, even in defeat.  I for one, hope to see him get a second start before Kazmir or Piñeiro comes off the DL.
