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

Even though we're awesome now there's still going to be "it's over" posts after falling behind 2-0 in the first?

We still have 4 dudes that aren't hitting so being in a hole matters

 

we have half a lineup that "isn't hitting" and we're among the league leaders in runs and run differential? sounds like we're pretty damn good to me

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Piscotti was set up on the warning track. WTF

God told him to be there

The point is that the Cubs are 11-3 and this is the 2nd inning of a game in April. No need to have reactionary 'its over' posts after falling into a 2 run hole early.

[David]

there will be dongs...oh, yes, there will be dongs.

I don't think it's over, but on Sunday I didn't think it was over and it was...

[David]

I don't think it's over, but on Sunday I didn't think it was over and it was...

 

yeah, that's gonna happen around 40 times so be ready to deal with the anguish

[UMFan83]

OK maybe he will get hit hard today...if things continue this way we might get to break out our vaunted long relievers. Edited April 20, 2016 by UMFan83

Great AB by Javy. I feel like half the board has written him off but I liked what he was doing mid season in AAA last year, and how he looked in AAA & with the Cubs after the injury as well last year.

 

Even the K's ive seen from him this year he was working deep in counts.

[ctcf]

hi i am not enjoying this game

Yeah, just hopefully not today.

Old fart Molina finds his power against the Cubs

[Andy]

I miss when Molina wasn't playing.

[fallacy]

Looks like Hendricks is going to get lit up today.

 

based on 2 hard hit balls in the first inning?

 

4 now

[Transmogrified Tiger]

good hitting those two at bats, neither of those were bad pitches

[bcl412]

The starters going 6 streak may be in jeopardy.

[Banedon]

Hope Bosio has some magical words to impart here.

[TruffleShuffle]

This is a concerning number of rockets being allowed.

[Gmoney08]

It's crazy how different the offense looks when they face pitchers who can locate on the corners (and umps willing to expand their zone to accommodate)

 

Almost every MLB pitcher will be dealing against any offense when they can hit the corners & get an expanded Kzone.

[BigSlick]

Oh man, poor Hendricks. When you have subpar stuff you're gonna have days like this.

i know that was kind of my point.

[BigSlick]

Basically at this point you grab Hendricks and you say "hey buddy, its alright, just try to keep our run differential over 40"
