lol i swear to god that i was trying to figure out what player Bourn's helmet reminded me of and then JD comes through for me and says he's giving his helmet the "Biggio treatment"

who the horsefeathers keeps blowing the damn air horn?

what do you mean "competitive"? he was missing his spots and was squeezed on a few pitches (most notably a strike three to Ozuna). ETA: All 4 runs were unearned because of the error to start the inning. He was nibbling with a 4 run lead to back to back hitters including a guy who's getting dominated in the zone every at bat with rare exceptions. He walks them both then grooves a pitch to Bour. That's not being competitive because at no point in the Ozuna/Stanton at bats did he remotely challenge. Unearned runs are an awful statistic because he created the majority of the traffic that inning himself and of course gave up the dong. it's kyle hendricks' game. it's what he does. maybe he did a little too much, but if he threw his 88 mph fastball over the heart of the plate the entire inning it would have been just as bad if not worst. like i said, he missed his spots a bit and then threw a bad pitch to bour. he also had an error and got squeezed on a strike three call that clearly caught the zone. it's frustrating, but it's baseball. Hendricks' being "competitive" means he's nibbling. He's not a pitcher that can challenge hitters. his command and control are good most of the time. unfortunately they weren't for much of the first inning.

I mean I get it. But it's also not the end of the world that you have to watch you favorite baseball team play a baseball game. It sucks, but nothing you can do other than to see what happens. It's far, far from over.

At least it's 4-4 and not 0-4? #silver lining

No worries, it'll be 8-4 Cubs going into the bottom of the second

Holy horsefeathers

If this damn stadium is AC then why do all the pitchers still sweat like it's 90 degrees (for both teams)
-
change up should do it here for Stanton
-
MF he's been squeezed tonight and i'm not a pitch framing expert (obviously) but it has looked like Contreras has done a pretty good job of not stabbing and holding the pitch for the ump to see.
-
Where did he play in the infield? he's played some 3B
-
they were talking last night that Joe was thinking about starting him tonight in the OF. I think it's only a matter of time. Everyone on the team can play every position. Hendricks may suit up at C tomorrow night just for shits and giggles.
-
he was throwing pitches that deserved to be punished from the moment this game started

I've been re-watching GoT from season one while at home sick and before about every other episode on HBOGO is his stupid face/voice promoting his idiotic show. Literally everything he says is either pro-Boston, moronic, or both. It's almost as if it's a parody of Bill Simmons. It's actually quite incredible, in a way.

he seemed to be acting/moving fine last night when talking to Martinez (yes, I know it was a conversation). But he seemed to be moving around pretty actively. i think they are probably just playing it safe and, honestly, a few days off for him probably isn't the worst idea. My guess is he comes back tomorrow or at latest on Sunday versus Fernandez.
