I've been defending Kyle all year and willing to give him but I think it's time. If the Cubs didn't have a number of better options available, maybe it would be a tougher call. Still wonder if they'll try to move him to the pen to see if he can provide any value especially since we're really thin in the pen. -
But seriously I might have to turn this game on as I might be seeing Kyle in a Cubs uniform for the last time. I don't think this will be it quite yet, but I can't rule it out either.

I don't know why you guys are ripping on Hendricks, his ERA has only gone up 0.31 runs today Edit: nevermind one of the runs was unearned, his ERA has actually gone DOWN 0.10 runs today.
-
Well at least he didnt strike out the side again.
-
So Cubs are 0-6 with 6 strikeouts so far? Yikes
-
Same, very difficult for me to use
-
In related news Zaidman is still absolutely terrible at his job
-
Well that was disappointing and anti-climatic. Given the schedule and the starters we've faced the last 3 weeks or so plus the injuries, its understandable to be treading water right now. Just hope they can get it going soon once the schedule gets lighter and the injured guys come back.

There was a point last year when Madrigal actually looked like he was an asset at the plate. He reached a .713 OPS for the season at that point but injured his hammy and then was really bad when he returned and really bad this year. I know he's probably not going anywhere because of his positional value but I desperately hope he finds some sort of form at the plate. Doesn't have to have an .800 OPS... is asking for .675 too much? 2023 First 37 games - .235/.284/.292/.576 2023 17 games prior to injury - .377/.441/.547/.988 2023 Post Hammy Injury - .235/.273/.322/.594 2024 So Far (not inc today) - .234/.300/.281/.581 OK so maybe it was just a hot 17 game stretch and hes really a high .500's OPS hitter. Just have no idea why he fell off a cliff when coming to the Cubs. 324 PAs isn't a ton but its definitely a decent enough sample size. He had a .317/.358/.406/.764 batting line in those 324 PAs with the White Sox.

damn normally I'd be ok with at least getting 1 there given the 2nd and 3rd 0 out situation but damn we're running out of outs and we scored that run via a HBP, error and sac fly

Dammit Happ

I'm gonna guess the money
-
damn i thought that one might be going farther off the bat. I'll take the sac fly though.
-
How about 2nd and 3rd with nobody out? Albeit via HBP and error but who cares
-
That's crazy. Hopefully we finally get to a stretch where we aren't facing all star caliber starters most nights. Seems like no matter what we're hitting the top of every team's rotation every series.
-
Wow I’d be willing to bet that was the worst pitch Madrigal has swung at in his entire career
-
Nasty Wesneski
-
Dammit Seiya. Not that it was an easy play but I can’t believe that ball got past him.
-
Oh man Mastro almost went yard. The wind must be blowing hard
-
Glad he beat that out at the plate. I thought he was gonna score easily
-
Yeah I think his command is a little off. 5 HRs allowed in his last 6 IP is glaring but seems like more of a temporary speed bump than something to be legitimately concerned about.
-
What’s with the PBP? lol
-
Did Steele catch Hendrickitis his last 2 starts? The HR ball is killer right now.
-
It's gonna be interesting when Wicks come back. If Hendricks has a couple more good starts do you send him to the pen? Or do you send Wicks to the pen? Or a 6 man rotation? Good problem to have.
-
And one last comment: once again the majority of the Bears prime time games are played on the road. The only one at home is a TNF game in Week 17 (yuck). The Bears haven’t had a home SNF game since 2019. Do they just hate coming to Soldier Field?
