Wasn't watching but would Martin have scored on Almora's double? what happened there?

Great start for Hendricks. In his last inning, he always leaves one ball up that gets hit for a HR. Great return for Addy! Alas, the return of the old Javy at the plate. Huge 2-strike swings with men on 3rd and less than 2 outs.

This is shaping up as a pretty memorable series against the Cards. Would love to put them a good ways back with another win tomorrow.

Agree great start for Hendricks. Most efficient he's been in a long time, maybe all season. Very 2016-ish. Cubs were uniformly hacky against Wacha. Had to have been scouting report. Zobrist 3 pitches total in 3AB? Last time that happened was never. Javy has to be tired, besides being beat up. He has to be on his longest consecutive game streak in the majors. I trust Joe will leverage the day off on Monday to get Javy 2 days off, maybe even start him tomorrow and bring in Addy part way through. I still believe Cubs will drop Contreras' appeal on Monday. Better for him to miss 2 against Tampa than 1 or 2 against Milwaukee and/or Cardinals. No chance MLB goes from 2 games to zero.

I hope the ump also apologized to him in person for that completely awful call. I mean, a smaller apology, of course. But still.

I believe today's start pushed Hendricks' career ERA under 3.00. "Only" 579 IP, so he has a ways to go to reach the 1,000 IP qualifying mark for career ERA, but here's the list of active qualifiers with a career ERA under 3.00: - Kershaw 2.35 - Sale 2.98 That's it. MadBum is close at 3.02. I realize Joe tends to keep a pretty short leash Hendricks, so he doesn't pitch the innings of the other guys. Still, it's pretty cool. And, once again -- what is going on with Joe's hair? He's like Benjamin Button.

hendricks is amazing considering the pure ass velocity that comes out of his arm. calling someone a "young maddux" is a bit insane because of how rare it is to find a starter with that kind of stuff, but...well...he's damn close to the low-velocity late-90s-into-00s maddux. i was a bit freaked out to see his already small velocity shrink this year, but it still "works." maddux and hendricks go about getting those results differently with their pitching skills, but seeing low velocity guys carve up batters in a lineup who get 3+ chances a game to get a piece of them is great stuff.

Jamie Moyer won like 250 games or so with softer stuff than most junior college pitchers. It can be done. Throw strikes, hit your spots, mix speeds. And I agree--it's more fun in one sense seeing guys like Kyle succeed than it is someone with obvious killer stuff like Scherzer or Sale. To think Hendricks was the throw-in for the Dempster trade is downright amazing.

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

  • crunch (view)

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.

  • crunch (view)

    and morel is injured...nice.

    morel trying to play LF from 3rd...runs into canario while leaping and comes down ribs/arm-first.

    hopefully he sticks around to finish this terrible game, or at least is going to avoid the IL.

    Amen to that last point!
