Cubs (Hendricks) vs Cardinals (Gray): 7/12/24, 7:15pm

[Irrelevant Dude]

I know the Cubs want length from Hendricks here with the double header tomorrow, but I don't think I would push my luck.  6 scoreless is great.  I would be tempted to go to the pen now before he gets in any trouble.

It was always delicious knowing STL fans were driven insane by Hendricks dominating them when he was great, even more so now that he is not

Why does it seem like the fence is 500 feet from home plate in this stadium?

[Eeyore]

I said in this thread that I didn't like that he was pitching tonight so you know that this will be a legendary night.

Time for Canario to get his ABs. You can’t swing out of your shoes or be completely fooled every pitch. 

I got bad news about Canario

True, but I’m willing to let someone else have a shot

[Outshined_One]

I...what?

What the hell is all of this?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

how is that not a swing from Arenado

[Illiterate Scholar]

I'm glad we kept this guy 

[Eeyore]

Good night for Hendricks 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Well done Kyle.  He is going to have some games where he gets torched, and probably a few more than in the past, but he seems to have righted the ship overall.

[Wilson A2000]

Great pitching, Kyle. The Lou look to be totally defeated tonight.

If I was an iPad in the Cardinals clubhouse, I’d be hiding about now.

[LBiittner]

Is Kyle done for the night?

Hendricks usually rises to the occasion. Hopefully, his back is well rested. 

Back was good

[KCCub]

Bote is such a fantastic pinch hitter 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Bote being a thing really makes Wisdom redundant.

[LBiittner]

Did bote macboteface get a hit?

I was a pretty big Kyle defender and even I gave up on him quite awhile ago.  While this is an awesome development, it doesn't really surprise me given what we've seen from Kyle over the last decade.
