4/20 CUBS (Hendricks) @ cards (Martinez) 12:45 CSN/MLBN

[halplm]

If only we had 2 through 6 guys who could get Fowler in!

 

i know, we should have focused on offense a little more during Theo's big rebuild.

 

Exactly!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Heyward, please hit a donger pleeeeasssseeee

 

I wish (not directed at you) that people would stop asking and/or expecting Heyward to dong. I know we want everyone to dong, but damn it, Heyward doesn't dong more than like Lindor for the Indians does. And I can't imagine everyone is expecting Lindor to dong when he comes up. Right? Right?

 

It's going to happen 12 times this year, probably. Or like 10 more times than our pitchers combine for.

He's gonna hit at least 20 after Mallee finishes reworking his swing.

[Bull]

I am not at this game, therefore we are losing. I'm hopping in my car now. 25 minutes to the stadium. Should be goo for 9th inning comeback.

[David]

yeah...now we need the mallee/bonds power combo that turned dex into a switch hitting mike trout

[sneakypower]

Rizzo should probably punch Zobrist in the mouth.

he should thank him because he would have gotten an entirely different pitch under entirely different conditions at an entirely different time and probably would not have a HR right now

[UMFan83]

3 more Hendricks outs from continuing a streak I didn't know and care about until yesterday.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Well, Hendricks settled in nicely after that rough start. Now get me some damn runs.

[Butterscup]

I'm ready for the comeback to start now

[Schwarber Fan]

How was that La Stella play scored a double? Brutal.

Tim should gift this site to you if you really do drive to Busch and the Cubs come back to win in the 9th inning.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

OK, Zobrist, take your walk. No way dude can throw three straight strikes.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

That's not a strike!

[BigSlick]

Come on give us one break in this game

[Gmoney08]

Im curious what is causing Heywards somewhat significant power outage.

 

He was able to hit 18 homers as a friggin 20 year old.. hit 27 bombs at age 22... then hit 14 in only 100 games at age 23..

 

Comes back with a combined 24 homers in his age 24 & 25 (relatively full seasons - 315 combined games) right when you think he would be increasing his power numbers.

i know this movie is fairly well-ranted but i actually enjoyed it

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I can handle borderline ones. This guy is calling obvious balls as strikes. It sort of changes the at-bat and is frustrating.

[Schwarber Fan]

God, Martinez is getting away with so many bad pitches.

he changed his swing/approach

[BigSlick]

awwww

[CubInOK]

No more 3-0 green light plz.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Seriously, Martinez could not throw three straight strikes. Take your base.

[soccer10k]

Martinez doesn't have good control today. Just take the walks and stop being aggressive on 2-0 and 3-0.

[Schwarber Fan]

I understand the 3-0 swing that time but this is so frustrating.
