4/15 Rockies (Bettis) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 1:20 MLBN, CSN

They say Heyward has an XBH this year but I cannot recall for the life of me when that happened.

[Omar]

how does mlb gameday determine "nasty factor" on pitches?

[illiniguy]

Heyward really needs to get a big hit soon

Like one off of a lefty with two outs and guys on base?

Are we expecting one big hit every 10 days? I'd prefer them more often

[sneakypower]

I'm going to assume the whole "Trevor Story is good" thing is over now that I picked him up on my fantasy team

 

This is also the strategy i have for that Hazelbacker scrub

he's probably just another one of those Baez/Grichuk/Schoop up the middle players who has no concept of the strike zone but hits for enough power to provide value, and also Coors will keep him fantasy viable even more so

That was 3 games ago. Was particularly memorable considering the count was 0-2, 2 outs against a lefty when the Cubs desperately needed to get at least 1 across.

 

But yeah he's definitely slumping at the plate...that will change.

Hendricks is the perfect pitcher for this team; a ground ball pitcher who throws a ton of strikes

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Totally hilarious the posts about Heyward and looking for big hits. So it begins.

I mean, I love Hendricks. But 2nd half 2015 Arrieta is the perfect pitcher for this team.

Stop cheering every medium depth fly balls, Wrigley faithful.

[Derwood]

These fans have never seen a home run before. They think every 280 foot fly ball is going out of the park

This game is the opposite of fun so far

Heyward will hit a game winning 2 run HR

That would make up for the lack of fun

[Ski]

Let's get runs against the Rockies, please.

Even casual fans know this team is good, so they're coming to the park ready to cheer. Give them a break.

[Banedon]

What'd Bryant do?

They've been terrible all week. I don't know why all the sudden we cant judge a fly ball off the bat. Maybe all the donging in the playoffs last year trained the fans to think any fly ball is going to carry out for a HR.

It's every single fly ball........

[Euthoniel]

Heyward is a notorious slow starter.

 

Through the first 15 games of the season:

 

2013: .115 /.258/.269

2014: .136/.271/.254

2015: .212/.224/.364

 

He'll get it going in the next week or two like he always has.

Maybe they are just excited to see outfielders catch routine fly balls?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Hendricks has been fantastic, Time to get some runs. Walk- and dong-heavy inning, boys.

Made an error on an easy play with the pitcher running. Didn't end up mattering though
