Today they started jumping his first pitch strikes...

...and he was leaving them over the middle of the plate rather than around the edges.

I certainly am concerned there too, and wish more had been done with the entire pitching staff.




He’s throwing BP out there…

He’s always adjusted, to an extent, but his stuff is awful. I won’t go as far as pulling him from the rotation, but maybe skip a start to see if we can catch lightning in a bottle.

The Professor’s ride is running on empty.


Wish granted. Hendricks to IL due to “lower back”

I think “lower back” is translated as: let’s sit a couple of starts to hit the reset button and see if that helps.


Lower back? I think they meant whiplash.

Sorry, I actually like Hendricks and hope he can figure things out.

I just can't resist a wide open net.


"Kyle, are you hurt?"

"You look like you're hurt to me. Yeah, probably your lower back. Go get some rest ... until, like, August."


Take the empty netter.

It’s been a rough go for Hendricks. I haven’t watched much this year but when I have he doesn’t look like he’s having fun out there. Only time I’ve seen him more agitated was handing the ball over to Joe Maddon in Game 7.
