7/24 D’Backs (Bucholz) vs Cubs (Hendricks), 7:05 CT WGN

[imb]

hendricks' magic is gone. everyone knows that he can't keep his fastball down, so if it's low they just spit on it because it's a changeup out of the zone. And if it's up, that means it's an 85 mph fastball they can crush. I'll be surprised if he ever gets into the 6th inning the rest of the year.

Hey finally a slow grounder isn’t perfectly placed for a hit

[Schwarber Fan]

Hopefully this stretch of crappy offense doesn’t last much longer because our starting pitching simply cannot hold us up.

Kyle was awesome tonight for the most part

[Bertz]

Hendricks did something to infuriate the BABIP gods tonight. Oh well, Milwaukee's losing too and I absolutely put this in the "Encouraging" column for Kyle's prospects going forward.

[Andy]

Some runs would just be super

[Brian]

I'm not convinced the Cubs have ever beaten the Diamondbacks

[Cubswin11]

Tommy can get the horsefeathers off the team any time now

[Derwood]

Has Buchholz been injured a ton? How does he have less than 200 career starts?

Yeah he has a Mets SP like profile

He was pretty good but we can forget about our starters going 8 shutout innings on a night where the offense is quiet.

[Schwarber Fan]

Might have to just shut this one off.

I feel like the Cubs always struggle with the D-Bags

he's been injured a ton

 

Mostly his face, I'm assuming

[Schwarber Fan]

Heyward is the man.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

OK. I’ll do it.

 

We are winning this game.

[Schwarber Fan]

Another rocket out.

[squally1313]

Happ needs to start every game and Bote needs to get back up here to let Happ play center against righties.

[Cubswin11]

Another rocket out.

We need to get some of that D’backs BABIP luck

[Cubswin11]

Happ needs to start every game and Bote needs to get back up here to let Happ play center against righties.

Yup, or Zobrist at 2B and Javy at 3B vs RHP. Or Happ at 3B, Javy at 2B, Zobrist RF and Heyward CF

[squally1313]

Though to be fair, Almora should have two outfield assists tonight.

[Cubswin11]

Score runs idiots

[Schwarber Fan]

Happ needs to start every game and Bote needs to get back up here to let Happ play center against righties.

Yup, or Zobrist at 2B and Javy at 3B vs RHP. Or Happ at 3B, Javy at 2B, Zobrist RF and Heyward CF

 

Might as well DL Bryant because you know we won’t see him til Tuesday.

[squally1313]

Schwarber has hit about 350 MPH of balls into outs today.
