Nevermind... https://twitter.com/carriemuskat/status/726437442019008512 I really don't see the point of skipping Hendricks so early in the season when extra rest would surely benefit our top 3
I haven't seen the play but was that bunt back to Lester an easy throw to first for the out? I think in most situations, Lester would have attempted a throw. But with 2 on in a tie game in the 7th, he had to calculate the risk of making a routine throw to first/throwing the ball away which would have scored the go ahead run vs. trying to pitch out of a bases loaded 0 out situation. Very badass of him to pitch out of it though.
Maybe Joe will give them a challenge and have all of the hitters hit off-handed and all of the pitchers pitch with their off-hand. Which backfires when it is discovered that Kyle Hendricks turns into an elite ace by throwing left handed.
Gotta love 8th innings that start with 'we don't need to bring our closer in beacuse its tied' and end with 'we don't need to bring our closer in because we're winning by too much'
He does it in Soler's spot too. I know he got a hit in his last AB, but overall you gotta start hitting buddy or one of your skinny white donger buddies will take your place.
