JORR pointed this out a while ago. His fastball is too damn straight. He likes his 4 seamer. Doesn't have a 2 seamer from what I've seen. And he goes up there thinking he can just fire it 99mph, straight 4 seamer, down the middle and get them. Hitters know that. And they put good swings on it. We've seen him give up homers. But he's also gotten a lot of outs on good swings to the warning track. I think he's been lucky this year. I'm worried about him. He needs to use that slider more. But a lot of times he can't control his damn slider. So hitters know to lay of of that if they can recognize it. |

Yep. Add me to this list. I've seen enough. I don't know who a better option would be, but Hendricks gives up way too many HR. |

Let us hope, Hahn is working on a blockbuster with the Cubs. Knowing Jerry, that aint happening. |

Like I said... Mother fucker scares me. He thinks he can just fire that fucking fast ball down the fucking middle of the plate at 98 and win. He doesn't even try to hit corners with that fast ball. That's how cocky this Ausie is. MLB has figured him out. It's straight. No cut on that fast ball at all. Scouts have told all their players. And they fucking kill it. Glad we got the Cubs guy. |

Sox are 6-3 in games where he gives up a HR. Don't ask me how |

It's straight and down the middle most of the time. And the great ones will send it 450 feet. He's too damn cocky. He's gotta locate better. They lay off the breaking shit cuz he can't get it over most of the time. And they seem to recognize the breaking shit out of his hand. Then he puts his fast ball on a tee when he falls behind. Hitters all know it. I know it. The fucking pitching coach should let him know. Cuz I know the fucking problem. So should he. |

It’s not good when your closer has 7 wins. You’re either using him too much or he’s bad. |

He's probably tipping his pitches as well. No doubt in my mind. And every team in MLB has figured it out. I don't know the tell. But his coaches should look at the tape and know it by now. Fucking fix it. |

I'm perfectly fine with Hendriks. Plus I remember what Kimbrel looked like with the Cubs before this year. |

He personally has four wins off of blown saves and zero losses off of them. |

I suppose that’s the main reason for Kimbrel. |

I wouldn't rush a change. 1) I don't like Kimbrel's playoff stats. B) It's a legit argument that bad luck has played into Hendricks giving up the long ball. |

All ten of them cant be explained with bad luck. Yesterday he walked a .210 hitter, then threw a straight fastball right over the heart of the plate |

It's either bad luck or he's reverting back to when he's 24 yrs old. Nope, that ain't right either because his WHIP was 1.7. I challenge you to find one gopher baller in HISTORY under a 1 WHIP |
