I hope he doesnt pull a Lake and run straight into the wall with no thought. I will say that at least its at Pitt where the OF is big and he can get those big legs going, but lets hope the balls dont find him to often.

No McCutchen or Marte in lineup, cubs need to take advantage and win this game....

3 healthy hitters on bench, hope the offense bats stay alive.. Hendricks has a good start

Not sure I'd say he's power hasn't come. He's played 3 games in April wrigley and 4 in a massive PNC. He's also got 4 doubles in 7 games. At least two have been hit off the wall. When it heats up those are probably homers.

Watching Hendricks pitch must bore the hell out of casual fans. Personally I love the cerebral aspect of it but talk about the most ho hum game. 5 innings 3 hits 0 walks 2 k's 1 earned.

Hindsight is 20/20 I guess but to bring in this piece of shit in a close game.....this guy is bad mojo. Good thing sdon't happen when he pitches.

How long again before Grimm and Rameriz get back? Having to watch guys like Jackson and the Shitter makes it seem like an eternity.
