6/4 Rockies (Hoffman) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 7:05 PM on NBCSChi

[SouthSideRyan]

Fresh off a sweep of the Angels, Colorado comes to town.

 

Jeff Hoffman was the 9th overall pick in the 2014 draft and has been terrible. Kyle Hendricks was the 264th overall pick in the 2011 draft and hasn't.

 

 

Game Notes:

 

Domingo Ramos hit .373 vs. LHP for the 1989 Cubs. Unfortunately Hoffman is a RHP and Ramos is 61 years old, so he's unlikely to get the start.

Revenge series?

 

I know, I also forgot the Cubs played a playoff game against this team 8 months ago

[Schwarber Fan]

Wind blowing out, Rockies in town, we are getting our first CarGo delivery tonight.

[squally1313]

Schwarber, KB, Rizz, Javy, CarGo, Vic, Heyward, Russell, Kyle

 

1. Weird that Vic is getting the start here and not just his usual Darvish start day, especially after Contreras donged last night.

 

2. Two days in a row CarGo gets the starting nod over Almora, which is interesting considering Almora just had one of his more useful (though still incredibly luck based) months of his career at an .823 OPS, whereas Heyward fell back to earth with a .618.

[squally1313]

Strop up, Maples down.

 

Fun* fact, Jose Quintana, in his four innings on relief like, 2 months ago, has been our second most valuable reliever this year.

 

*Not actually fun at all.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Why maples?

[Schwarber Fan]

Pat Hughes out for the third time in recent home games.

 

This does not please me.

Hasn’t Joe said in the past that the time to give a player rest is after a nice game so the player can rest on a positive?

[UMFan83]

horsefeathering BABIP bullfucking horsefeathers. This should have been a 1-2-3 inning. Instead we’re losing

[Schwarber Fan]

horsefeathers off, Murphy

[UMFan83]

Good news is that Hendricks looked great that inning except the warning track fly. Hopefully that continues

[UMFan83]

A high walk rate is less cool when you strike out looking in all the other PAs

Possibly. But you’d think Contreras would be a little different considering he’s had a scheduled day off every five days for at least the last six weeks or so.

[squally1313]

Locked in Kyle is so fun to watch. He can dial up that back door sinker on the black seemingly at will right now, and he’s doing it at 90 MPH.

[Schwarber Fan]

It is absolutely ridiculous that Baez scored on that.

[Sammy Sofa]

Alright, so maybe I should talk more horsefeathers about this CarGo guy.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hendricks is the GOAT

[Omar]

The CarGo double should have been a routine fly ball

NEVERMIND I TAKE IT ALL BACK.

[Sammy Sofa]

Jesus, Hendricks is savage out there tonight.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ok, seriously horsefeathers Murphy.

[Andy]

That would just be a tip your cap, whatever, we're still up 1 situation if it weren't for that complete BS run in the first inning.

[Sammy Sofa]

So the Brewers are losing 12-0 to the Marlins.

[David]

holy horsefeathers
