The Cubs and Mets kick off a four-game set at Wrigley Field tonight, and Tyler Chatwood is taking the ball in Game 1. Of course, he’ll be on a pitch count – one that many Cubs fans will be happy to see dwindle sooner than later, as top pitching prospect Adbert Alzolay gets set to make his big league debut.
You’d obviously love to see Chatwood go deep – because that usually means the Cubs will be in a good position to win – but I get it: I want to see Alzolay too. Here’s hoping we can get everything we want tonight. That usually happens, right? Go Cubs.
