You forgot to typo Delgado.

If Bartolo Colon makes the HoF...burn it down and start over.

That's what a winning pitcher looks like, boys. Outpitching a possible Hall of Famer. Winning at every level. Going 7-2 as a rookie on a 73 win team. No fucking excuses.

Hendricks > Quintana

Kyle Hendricks, stopper.

For this week, anyway. For the last four weeks, actually, if not all season.

He’s up there with Clayton Kershaw and Madison Bumgarner, and how does this happen?

Hendricks doesn’t dominate like Jake Arrieta can, nor does he act out like John Lackey channeling his inner Carlos Zambrano. Instead, Hendricks is Johnny Chan slow-playing a flopped straight.

Hendricks spots his modest fastball and restaurant-quality breaking pitches brilliantly. Like that, he has quietly gone about producing the third-best ERA in the majors. In the majors, people. Kyle Hendricks.

Since June 19, he has a major-league-low ERA of 0.72. True fact. That’s some fifth starter, huh?

It's the optics, though, that mess with me when it comes to Hendricks. Lanky, clean-cut and low key, Hendricks looks like the guy you’d trust to handle the final arrangements for the passing of your loved one.

And then methodically, if not diabolically, he’s throwing 6 1/3 shutout innings on a hot day in a game the Cubs won’t admit they had to have but come on, they couldn’t lose another series to the Mets.

So, the guy from Dartmouth is pitching like he’s Ivy League smart because he doesn’t possess the major-league cannon we’re used to seeing. And he retires hitter after hitter and gets out of what little trouble he faces, and I have a problem:

Do you know how hard it is to avoid saying he’s Greg Maddux with training wheels?

Been saying for the last 3 years that this guy can look Maddux like when he is in the zone.

Yes...he's peaking now..his stuff ain't good, he's going to get shelled in July n August...

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

I was laughed at on this board for saying this. Go figure.

Oops.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

Since Sept. 1, 2015, Hendricks is 18-7 with a 2.25 ERA.

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

I still don't believe in this kid. I know I should, I just don't. Maddux had more speed at this stage of his career.

If Bartolo Colon makes the HoF...burn it down and start over.

This man attracts run support. He has been a winner wherever he has been. He even got run support from the atrocious 2014 Cubs.

It's funny to see him walk off the mound after a scoreless inning...he walks as meekly as if he'd just been shelled for 5 runs.

A.. He won't keep this up, his stuff ain't good.

B. Why don't these dumb fuck Cub fans realize you need to sell HIGH? These same clowns were trying to beat me over the head 3 weeks ago with Baez 975. OPS %
