9/12 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Cardinals (Leake) 7:15 PM, CSN

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Matheny just double switched his best hitter out of the game, presumably because he made the last out. This ignores that in order to actually score any runs that spot has to come up again, but in the absence of other evidence Matheny gonna Matheny

that was a straight-up sub, no double switch

 

You win this round Matheny

My palms are extremely sweaty.

[Tim]

okay, I'm on the hook:

 

@LenKasper - If you mention Fred Hornkohl on the air today, I promise northsidebaseball will be a sponsor for the Rizzo Foundation next year

Hendricks ERA under 2 btw

[Brian]

smart move not to let this idiot break it up

[CubmanPi]

Haven't gotten to watch much Cubs... Only just now learning that Gyorko is pronounced Jerk-o. Takes the edge off my irrational hatred for him.

[Outshined_One]

CALL THAT

[Brian]

come on ring him up

[Ding Dong Johnson]

ring him up, blue!

[CubmanPi]

At this point, with national TV attention and live cut-ins, I don't imagine they mention Fred.

[Brian]

OMG OMG OMG

[chuckywang]

Get fucked ump

[CubInOK]

Lol Baez there.

[NotSoSober]

oh boy oh boy oh boy

[Gilby]

Hendricks wins the Cy ....right?

 

fwiw, both Rogers and Sharma have recently said he doesn't have a good chance based on what they've heard from writer/voter types.

 

That said, a sub-2 ERA with a no hitter, might make him the favorite.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Hendricks for Cy has to get some big time momentum after this

[BigSlick]

3 outs away holy horsefeathers

[Gilby]

I think the old baseball rule is to keep all of the same defensive players on the field during a no-no, but this better not end on a bloop to LF with Almora on the bench.

[bcl412]

PLEASE HAPPEN!!!

I can see that being the case. But I always come back to.....if not him, then who?

 

Edit: ugh Scherzer.

lol I can only imagine the rage that the nerds are going through with all the no hitter talk and showing highlights of Jake's

A no hitter would give him a giant push IMO

It's ridiculous that unless you're a big name, you have to do something sexy or glamorous to get noticed. Even if he went 8 IP, 0 ER today, he wouldn't have had the same momentum? Cy Young is about a season worth of excellence, not one game.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Lost in the fact that Hendricks is throwing a no hitter, we're in the 9th inning and haven't even hit the 2 hour mark yet.
