Kyle Hendricks Low Velocity Assassin Splooge Thread

[SKO]

I think he's fine now. That's 5 good starts in a row and he was hitting 88/89 last night.

I think he's been fine all along.

I'm sure he's glad you find him attractive, but he did have a pretty rough start and was topping out at 84 at one point.

He's adorable.

Yeah, he just had a couple rough starts to start the season but other than that he's been the same ole' Kyle.  No further proof is needed than the fact that he just had back-to-back stellar outings in pitcher-hostile environments--Coors Field and Wrigley with the wind blowing out at a million miles per hour.

If he hadn't gotten pulled in 6th of the Yankee Game, last night would have been his 5th straight Quality Start.

Just took the Machine a couple games to get warmed up.

So The Machine went 15 up, 15 down last night on his second rehab start in the sticks.

Seems timely.

And we thought the Cubs' farm system was barren.

I'm glad he's back and the movement looks good but hitting only 83/84 is no bueno. Let's hope he shakes off the rust. He'd managed to get up to around 87-88 before he went on the DL.

Fortunately it's another minor league start.

Don't worry, Justin Grimm is here to throw some kerosene on that smoke.

I'm not sure why Joe even let him start the 5th. He was clearly fading in the 4th, got out of it bc the pitcher was up, bullpen is mostly rested (especially Montgomery), Hendricks came up to bat with a runner in scoring position, and Joe said he was gonna hold Kyle to 90 pitches or less anyway. Was it really worth it trying to squeeze ten more pitches out of him?

I thought it was curious, especially since Montgomery is already stretched out and could have given the Cubs at least 3 innings' work.

Still topping out at 84/85...

Welcome back.

Hendricks is starting to look really good at just the right time.

Yeah that was 2016 Kyle right there.
