Its interesting the cubs have one of the best guys at picking people off in Hendricks and obviously one of the worst in Lester.

The curve is nasty and he was outstanding shutting down Toronto's big bats in the ALCS so I wouldn't underestimate him. Where he could get in trouble though is that he avoids walking batters at all costs and whether he comes in with the curve or the four seam fastball our guys could tee up on him his command is even slightly off. He's also prone to the HR.
They were highlighting his game on mlb network, Toronto missed a lot of meatballs. They were showing how badly he was missing his spots, he left a lot of balls over the middle of the plate that Toronto completely missed.

I loved how Hendricks just kept throwing strikes when it was time to be nervous.

Apparently Lindor did not watch film of Game 6 against LA.

Isn't LF a tad bit tricky to play in Wrigley?
Not as tricky as right, where we have Soler. That said, apparently righties hit Tomlin better than lefties.

Those weren't very good at bats.

That's exactly the scouting report on Tomlin. He won't walk guy's so 3-1 you're likely going to get a pitch to hit.
