8/31 Reds (lorenzen) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 7:05 on CSN

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I never feel good about things like this.

 

I think you have a right to feel this way.

[OleMissCub]

Predictable

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Ugh...

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 32-52 (.381) when they allow 3 or more runs.... 42-3 (.933) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gilby]

I don't have an issue with walking Votto. But it's way to risky to trust Hendricks to get out of that.

[UMFan83]

Maddon gave him a shot and he failed. Why do we only have 2.5 dependable starters?

 

3 runs allowed is fine but Hendricks cannot even give us more than 5 IP most of the time lately.

[Schwarber Fan]

Welp, we have no starting pitching after Lester/Jake.

[Agony and Ivy]

He can't miss bats. That not a position where he will succeed regularly.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Reds are seeing 4.38 P/PA through 5 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I want to go back to the time two weeks ago where it was comical to think the Cubs wouldn't come back from a 3-1 defecit in the middle innings.

[Careless]

oh my god, why will Coomer not go away?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Maddon gave him a shot and he failed. Why do we only have 2.5 dependable starters?

Hendricks is averaging 5.70 IP per start.

[rawaction]

Wow. What a terrible move to walk Votto and put 2 guys in scoring position.

[dfnowak]

Now score some [expletive] runs!!!

Amazing what a difference a week makes.

We get it: You don't like Hendricks. But, he has given us at least 5 innings in 25 of 27 starts this year. He is perfectly fine as a 4th starter.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 71-53 (.573) when they draw 1 or more walk.... 3-2 (.600) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[ctcf]

yay cubs yay

His K% is higher than the league average.

[Gilby]

I'm still a Hendricks fan, but if you're going to walk two runners into scoring position, Grimm needed to be in.

 

But our offense will make that decision moot.

Funny thing is that I don't hate Hendricks, I think if has better command he can be an effective pitcher.

 

I do think a 4th starter on a playoff should do better than averaging 5.2 innings per start though

[Schwarber Fan]

Yeah, Addy!

[UMFan83]

Dammit why didn't you tag Russell

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 61-22 (.735) when they score 3 runs or more.... 13-33 (.283) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
