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

[BigSlick]

And I looked,

and behold a pale horse:

and his name that sat upon him was Hendricks,

and Hell followed with him.

[Brian]

what a pimp

[Old Style]

[UMFan83]

Fantastic work Kyle. Just 3 pitches shy of a Lieber (78 pitch CG SO)

[Brian]

9.0IP, 0R, 4H, 3K, 0BB, 81 pitches

what a boss

Man so close to under 80. Amazing start!

[We Got The Whole 9]

This team has that feel again

[bcl412]

So that was fun

[UMFan83]

Starter ERAs:

 

Lester - 1.73

Hamels - 3.19

Quintana - 3.48

Hendricks - 3.94

Darvish - 5.02

[Brian]

Cubs and Cardinals are tied for the least amount of losses in the NL, 3rd least in MLB

[sneakypower]

that felt slightly like the Wood 20K game in a weird way, recognizing you're part of something really rare

 

10th CG SHO with 81 or fewer pitches since that stuff was tracked

[Andy]

Starter ERAs:

 

Lester - 1.73

Hamels - 3.19

Quintana - 3.48

Hendricks - 3.94

Darvish - 5.02

In a hypothetical world where Good Q is a real thing all year and we make the playoffs, I'd feel pretty good about those top 4 in a rotation.

[Bertz]

Quintana is going to shove on Sunday night and neither Cardinal starter is going to be able to hold the offense down too hard. If Yu pitches well we're sweeping these clowns.

[NOLA]

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

Harrison Bader, and it’s not even close for me. He might be an ok guy in real life but he epitomizes all the gritty bro douchiness that is the Cardinals. He’s Grichuk with a mullet.

nice and boring, just the way this man likes it

[UMFan83]

Cubs and Cardinals are tied for the least amount of losses in the NL, 3rd least in MLB

 

And 16-6 since the disastrous start which is best in baseball.

 

Edit: 1 more... Cubs RD up to +42 for the season which is tied with the Rays for best in baseball.

[weis21]

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

 

??

 

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

yes, i glossed over the "scoreless" part. though, a CGSO under 85 pitches should now be named a "henricks"

[Banedon]

Missing my turn to start game threads might just have been the best thing I've ever done.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Alright, fine. If these turds aren't gonna give us the fun of a meltdown, they better dominate the bigger turds like the Cardinals.

[NotSoSober]

What a performance

 

It was odd yet funny that McCarver didn't know his name and kept calling him Kendricks the entire damn game and no one bothered to tell him his actual name

[Brian]

so apparently the Cubs have won the last 9 Hendricks v. Cardinals games.

[Old Style]

What a performance
