Cubs (Hendricks) vs Diamondbacks (Henry): 4/16/24, 8:40pm, Marquee

[Irrelevant Dude]

Counsell looks less than pleased about another leadoff hitter reaching base

Awful approach by Morel. Way too aggressive on 3-1.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Letting Hendricks face Walker here seems like a bad idea.

Get him the horsefeathers out of there  Counsell

Short leash please. Can’t have a dude giving up dongs like they’re going out of style trying to pitch out of a jam like this. 
 

im such counsell will have some justification of it being a long season and trying to give Kyle some confidence though.

Yeah haha, I’ll try to keep the references to a minimum. Sometimes there can be too much of something and then it can become annoying. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Enough 

[UMFan83]

Kyle trying to give it all right back. Ugh 

[Dfan25]

This just brutal to watch .  Arrieta 2.0 

[Andy]

Kyle sure didn't waste time trying to give that lead back

[Dfan25]

Bringing Little here is not great with his control issues . Pretty sure he will get RG

Anything past the 4th inning for him is pretty much a guaranteed disaster.

Can't say you didn't have a point

[UMFan83]

Suboptimal start 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Left Hendricks in there way too long, going with Little here not the best idea either. 

[SOFNR]

I doubt the Cubs are going to choose Ben Brown over Hendricks at this point of the season, but Hendricks is doing his best to make it a tough decision. Wonder if they'll run out a 6 man rotation for a couple weeks.

horsefeathers.

[ToolDRT]

Damnit 

[JHBulls]

Kyle Hendricks has been a good pitcher most years of his career, however, this is the year where he just looks to be cooked. Nothing wrong with that at his age but the call needs to be made to take him out of the rotation.

Yeah really don’t understand this. Surprised with how frequently I’m questioning his decisions. I accept that he knows a lot more than I do but strange

[We Got The Whole 9]

Little has such a laborious delivery. It looks painful.

Right there with you. Not seeing the huge difference between Counsell and Ross we were promised. 

[UMFan83]

And another WP to score a run.
