Alozay is this season' Fulmer, only worse, has already given up 6 HR's, Fulmer gave up 7 in 57 IP last season. Nearly every at bat Alozay manages to hang a slider or fail to properly locate a FB, meatball after meatball, just like Fulmer.
I've complete faith Hendricks will not even be remotely effective today, he'll get shelled by a piss poor Pirates lineup. Then, maybe, it'll finally be the end for him.
Today' loss is certainly frustrating, Pirates lineup is still horsefeathers on a stick meaning there's a good chance the Cubs take two of three. I think we'd all be OK with such a result.
Love the Cubs were not completely overwhelmed, any other day, porn-tache would have given up two HR's . Think Morel' got him lined up, will take him deep on another day.
He didn't get the calls Skenes is getting and hung sliders that even a ****** Pirates lineup is going to hit. Tell you what, I'd rather look at the LSU gymnast than that sleepy-eyed horsefeathers.
I believe it effectively is an 8 man lineup with Mastrobuoni in the sense that he's an automatic out and the Pirates do not have to be concerned with him.
