6/24 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Marlins (Koehler) 6:10 CDT CSC

[Andy]

Not only was that guy in the stands dressed as a banana, I'm pretty sure he was wearing a black Power Rangers uniform underneath the banana costume.

[Thrilho]

This was always going to be "you made me bleed my own blood" game. It still is. We'll see if the Marlins can keep up.

[weis21]

He wasn't even [expletive] competitive that inning. [expletive] off Hendricks.

what do you mean "competitive"? he was missing his spots and was squeezed on a few pitches (most notably a strike three to Ozuna).

 

ETA: All 4 runs were unearned because of the error to start the inning.

 

He was nibbling with a 4 run lead to back to back hitters including a guy who's getting dominated in the zone every at bat with rare exceptions. He walks them both then grooves a pitch to Bour. That's not being competitive because at no point in the Ozuna/Stanton at bats did he remotely challenge.

 

Unearned runs are an awful statistic because he created the majority of the traffic that inning himself and of course gave up the dong.

it's kyle hendricks' game. it's what he does. maybe he did a little too much, but if he threw his 88 mph fastball over the heart of the plate the entire inning it would have been just as bad if not worst. like i said, he missed his spots a bit and then threw a bad pitch to bour. he also had an error and got squeezed on a strike three call that clearly caught the zone. it's frustrating, but it's baseball. Hendricks' being "competitive" means he's nibbling. He's not a pitcher that can challenge hitters. his command and control are good most of the time. unfortunately they weren't for much of the first inning.

I hate everything about the Marlins org. The owner, the empty stadium with ugly ass walls that look like green screens, the fact that their logo is as colorful as it is but still somehow boring as [expletive]

 

All the flamboyant colors are a cryout for attention because of the low participation

[gobigred]

Guarantee if the Cubs wouldnt have scored the Marlins wouldnt have either...just seems whatever this team does the other team matches lately

[Schwarber Fan]

Even though his pitch recognition is still awful, it seems like Javy is getting into more and more 3 ball counts lately.

Totally fair. I was mostly just really pissed off for like 10 minutes.

[Schwarber Fan]

Is Ozuna gonna walk every time up???

[weis21]

who the horsefeathers keeps blowing the damn air horn?

[weis21]

lol i swear to god that i was trying to figure out what player Bourn's helmet reminded me of and then JD comes through for me and says he's giving his helmet the "Biggio treatment"

[Schwarber Fan]

Did Stanton make an out? Gameday frozen

[Gilby]

Stanton and Bour both K'd

[imb]

Was that drew carey's brother with the almora family?

[weis21]

almora needs more time in AAA when Dex comes back

[David]

do they really blast that horsefeathering horn in the middle of a pitch? how is that allowed?

[weis21]

donnie richter

EXACTLY

 

I guess they don't want to eject anyone because of lack of fans and all

[CubinNY]

I'd like to think that all the other owners hate Loria, but it doesn't look that way.

[David]

nice javy

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Oh Javy.

[weis21]

hahahahahaha

 

horsefeathering BAEZ

[CubInOK]

Baez still wants a gold glove at every position.

[Andy]

My God Javy. That kid is gonna kill himself at some point. What a play

[17 Seconds]

i thought he was going to dive into the dugout

[weis21]

Baez's play will spark this offense to 2-3 runs this inning. book it!
