5/3: Cardinals (Flaherty) @ Cubs (Hendricks) - 1:20 CDT - NBCSCH

[UMFan83]

Hendricks 7 IP 62 pitches. He has 1 K which was the first batter of the game.

This Gallegos guy seems really good

 

too bad they're wasting him in a sure loss (my cockiness will come back to haunt me)

[BigSlick]

i hope Baez comes with his big ol swinging dong

[weis21]

i don't care if he's struck out three times. walking to get to baez here seems...curious

[BigSlick]

i hope Baez comes with his big ol swinging dong

THAT'LL DO

[Brian]

Respect Javy.

[weis21]

yep. dumb move by the cardinals.

[BigSlick]

Hahah, I don't mind that. It could have gotten us another run

[BigSlick]

Evidence that strikeouts don't mean a whole lot at all for hitters:

 

Cubs pitchers: 1 K

Cardinals pitchers: 11 Ks

 

Cubs up 4 runs

Rizzo took off a throw too late, needed to force the longer throw from the 2nd base side of the rundown, or at least bluff it to see if he could get Javy safely back to first.

[weis21]

Hahah, I don't mind that. It could have gotten us another run

with hendricks quietly dominating and the game going along so quickly javy was clearly just bored and wanted to just do something.

[weis21]

or one pitch one out is fine too.

[HawkeTrackler]

[BigSlick]

SUCK IT SUCK IT SUCK SUCK IT

Kyle Hendricks has had enough of your bull horsefeathers

[UMFan83]

So he just has to pitch a scoreless 9th in under 29 pitches for the Maddux Edited May 3, 2019 by UMFan83

So he just has to pitch a scoreless 9th in under 30 pitches for the Maddux

well there is one other stipulation but i won't say what it is due to superstition

[Brian]

ERA has gone down 1.27 runs

[Andy]

Underrated part of Kyle Hendricks going into world-destroyer mode is how much it annoys the opponents' fans. The GRB game thread is a good read today.

??

 

Isn't it just a CG Shutout with under 100 pitches? What I said would get him there.

[BigSlick]

of all the Cardinals players I probably hate Matt Carpenter the most. He combines this overeager "try-hard" attitude that I hate + he has this ugly face that I also hate

[Brian]

Dexter I thought we were cool

[Brian]

come on keep this under 80
