Jacob Turner seemingly refuses to throw a fastball

Just threw one that Encarnacion destroyed

Way too straight

Cubs baseball is exciting now! Come watch the future go 1-9 with 5 K.

Looked at stats against Pirates. Whoa that is a lot of K's and bad. Can't wait to go to game Saturday.

Horrible

Stroman was pretty good

They kept their K's in the single digits, that's pretty good!

Stroman had 8 strikeouts and still only threw 93 pitches in a complete game shutout.

The last out of the game was highlight-reel worthy. Reminded me of the Ozzie Smith play where he was going one-way and then grabbed the ball barehanded when it bounced the other way (though Smith's was way more difficult).

Yeah, that was a great reaction

What the hell is Baez crying about? That ball was right down the middle.

Yeah, it was a strike

Interesting the ump took the whining from Encarnacion right after that....I know its an all star vs a guy who wishes he had Bob Euckers numbers but he let Edwin bitch him out

Damn Bautista...

Rare bad appearance by Ramirez.

Soler's "hit" in the 9th was clearly an error by the 3rd baseman.

The Jays took a lot of shit for not making a deal at the deadline but you can see why they didn't want to move these arms for just anyone. With Stroman (23), Sanchez (21), Norris (21) and Hutchison (23) they have the makings of a tremendous starting rotation.

5.2 IP 4 ER 6 H 2 BB. I think a conversation happened at some point between hitters that Hendricks has mediocre college pitcher velocity. It was really a matter of time. RIP Hendricks, may the Cubs be stupid enough to give you a rotation spot next year from which you will be shelled relentlessly.

Once they took EJax out of the rotation things fell apart.

That was a lot of innings no matter how much fans disliked him. They wanted him to be more than what he was.I give Theo credit for knowing what he was.

I've not seen Cub hate with this lever of dedication in a long time

No, you've got something wrong there

Theo himself would tell you he was wrong there

I kind of feel bad for America.

You really feel like he's been holding onto a Hendricks gloat for months and he had to waste it on an average start.

Baez is beginning to string together walks. That's........something

(5BB in last 7 games)

It's hard to keep it in when I'm told Kyle Hendricks is the next Greg Maddux.

Who said that? I don't read everything posted. But I don't recall reading that here. Imaginary message board?

Punch "Kyle Hendricks G" into Google and it autocompletes to "Kyle Hendricks Greg Maddux." It's so delusional I can't even begin.

I asked you about here, not elsewhere.

Google is evil. I don't use Google.
