Kyle Hendricks: Somehow Greg Maddux

[rocket]

Can anyone find pics of Hendricks celebrating the World Series win? My wife loves Hendricks possibly more than she loves me and she really wants to see him celebrating, but I can't turn up anything.

He was just finishing up his audit of Joe Maddon for deciding to pull him that early. Joe's gonna be getting a call from the IRS very soon. :D

Kyle doesn't celebrate. Kyle casually rides off into the sunset while being celebrated.

I only saw him briefly on the field afterwards, smiling and casually kissing his girlfriend(?).

I remember a sense of satisfaction with Kyle Hendricks as a secondary piece in the Dempster trade, but I don't recall what the expectations were. But I can be certain that nobody expected for him to be not only the guy to take the mound for the two biggest games in Cubs history, but be the guy we wanted to take the mound for them.

The video is so so, but it just shows what a mensch this guy is. So down to earth. Sneakily becoming one of my favorite Cubs.

Kyle Hendricks is my favorite starting pitcher on the team. Easy choice.

 

Favorite pitcher overall is probably Carls Jr.

Just a slow start, or reason for concern?

 

"That kind of has been my M.O., I've always been a slow starter," he said. "You don't like to be that way and I'm always trying to combat that. But I felt good in spring and it just hasn't transitioned yet. Staying with the process. I know what I have to do. I can feel a little better today. Just getting my velocity back up a little bit and trust it and hopefully it comes."

The velocity thing would be a bit of a concern, but the PitchFX/Trackman migration makes it impossible to tell how real the velocity dip might be. Hendricks isn't lying about being a slow starter though:

 

2015

 

ERA thru 3 starts: 5.74

ERA after: 3.78

 

2016

 

ERA thru 3 starts: 4.50

ERA after: 1.88

Ok, well that's good to see. Giving up the homers still concerns me a bit...but I'll have faith.

This is when Montgomery establishes himself as a starter thereby kicking Lackey to spot starter.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

me, learning Montgomery finally gets to start, but at Hendricks' expense

I knew when I saw this thread bumped that there was going to be bad news. Been that kind of season for the Cubs (not necessarily injuries just things going wrong in general)

Why couldn't it have been Lackey?

He probably got the injury from punching Lackey
