God Mode Kyle, he just hit 90

[soccer10k]

Kyle pitching like it’s Game 6 against the Dodgers, score and all.

[Irrelevant Dude]

No sense extending Hendricks here. Finish off the 8th and call it a night.

[Brian]

let him go for it

[Gilby]

I would be throwing a tremendous fit about this strikezone if the score was reversed

[TMan92]

 

From the Brewer page.

That's just incredible. Never mind that Joe basically never challenges unless the call was clearly wrong (and he lost the one on which Strop got hurt)

 

He never gets them wrong because the umps make calls that I can say are 100% wrong from my couch.

 

Also, they unlucky team got a 2-rbi bunt the other day.

[imb]

its nuts how good hendricks is. I promise never to doubt him again until next april at the earliest or possibly even the playoffs this year

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Kyle!!

 

One annoying stupid bloop double.

[soccer10k]

One cheap ass bloop double away from a no hitter through 8.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

HAHA! Now I have to search through all of my old commons to see if I have this card. I probably do.

[Cubswin11]

Bryant says screw the two handed swing

I've seen him actually do that swing like 5 times since he came off. That was never going to stick.

I saw a theory the 2 handed swing was more for warm ups and BP to protect him more, it was never really planned for in game use. Just a way to lessen the stress on the shoulder when he was swinging not in game.

I have to say that this is a brilliant horsefeathering performance by Hendricks. He is in complete control to a degree we’ve only seen a handful of times in his career

[TMan92]

No sense extending Hendricks here. Finish off the 8th and call it a night.

 

He hasn’t broken a sweat. Let him finish. He is one duck double from a no hitter.

[Cubswin11]

Vintage Hendricks tonight

[TMan92]

The rotation has me excited. And I am hoping the last two weeks was getting this horsefeathers out of our system so we don’t do it in the playoffs.

Yeah let him go, have someone up if a guy or 2 reaches. He’s on extra rest his next start as well.

[bcl412]

Let him finish because baseball is fun and that would be fun

[Irrelevant Dude]

There's that exit velocity.

[TMan92]

When Bote actually hits it, it flies off his bat

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Hey contact, hard contact

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Bote exit velocitied the hell out of that one.

[bcl412]

That sounded smoked

[Brian]

Kyle's got a very nice batting average

[UMFan83]

I just realized that after all the drama about the rotation this year, all 5 of our primary starters have ERAs under 4 for the season

 

Hamels - 1.57 (or 3.67 combined w Texas)

Lester 3.43

Hendricks - 3.55

Montgomery - 3.87

Quintana - 3.95

[Cubswin11]

That had to be about 200 MPH off the bat for Bote
