How Kyle Hendricks is good is one of baseballs biggest mysteries to me. Guy throws 85 mph fastballs with an OK change and not good curveball.
The smoke and mirrors must end! (that said, he will now lead the Cubs to another WS because... baseball).
No Lackey. Interesting. Thought they might go with the hot hand lately, but then I'm not paid millions to manage a roster.
Kyle Hendricks = elite groundball rate x elite soft contact rate
Combine those two factors and you are going to be good. he locates pitches with the best of them, preventing hitters from getting lift on the ball and hitting it hard.
He’ll be on the playoff roster and be ready to spell any of the starters (especially Arrieta) if he’s shaky.
Sitting Jay seems like the wrong move, but I don't know his/Schwarber's/Zobrist's splits against righties.
Also fun fact: John Jay is tied for best all time fielding percentage as an outfielder for a career.
Hendricks gutted out those 7 innings there. It didn't feel like he was really on top of his game, but yet he still put up zeroes.
Speaking as a DC area transplant, nice to see the W!
