[Jaxbro]

Holy hell of a slide

[NotSoSober]

Javy is amazing. IT can't be said enough

[Guancous]

All Star

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Holy horsefeathers Javy is insane.

[Tim]

Wowowowowowow

[Transmogrified Tiger]

that may be his most impressive slide yet

[Derwood]

Give him a lifetime contract

[Ding Dong Johnson]

go get yourself some clean clothes, kid

[Schwarber Fan]

How do you slide like that?

[NotSoSober]

I hope he's ok. Just went to the clubhouse

[Old Style]

I horsefeathering love Baez!

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Javy...lmao

[Old Style]

How do you slide like that?

Magic, of course.

[Tim]

Great point by JD that Russell should have gone to second on the play. They either concede the run to Baez or he gets to second base.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Goodrum needs to watch himself barricading second like that, someone’s gonna get hurt

[Cubswin11]

Just caught up on the game, dear lord Javy runs the bases at a 13D-Chess level like Sterns runs a front office

[Tim]

Mikie is no Javy

[NotSoSober]

IT's cute the lefties can't balk

[Cubswin11]

I’m prett sure Q and Liriano both balked on their pickoff throws but maybe balks just aren’t a rule anymore because they never seem to get called

lefties never get called for it despite always doing it

Quintana and Hendricks have been frustrating in almost the same way this year.

 

I find Quintana infinitely more frustrating to watch. I trust Hendricks more to get back on track and pitch well. I wasn't super duper happy when we made the trade for him last year.

 

It's unfortunate that they likely need to go get a starter, but I don't see how they don't even if Darvish comes back and is amazing.

I think you're both getting caught by recency bias. I'd adjust my forecast for both of them south of where it started the year, but each has a track record of getting things figured out during the year and being damn fine pitchers. Quintana had a 4.49 ERA last year when we traded for him and he was money down the stretch. Hendricks had a 4.09 ERA in the first half last year and a 2.19 in the second half.

 

There's still more than enough time for them to get their horsefeathers together and pitch like we expect.

 

Neither are really trending like they did last year, and I prefer they don't hinge their chances on Fluke Skywalker, the animated corpse of Yu Darvish and the hope that these two will figure it out.

[NotSoSober]

Why cant Chili teach these idiots how to bunt?

Last year at this time Hendricks was either on the DL or throwing 75 MPH fastballs and Q had like a 5 ERA. They are trending just fine.

[Regular Show]

For anyone that missed it. Baez is a madman on the bases, but it somehow always works out lol.

Hendricks is most certainlly not trending fine.
