He’s been so awful all year that he had nowhere to go but up, but Taillon has actually been pretty good his last five or six starts. Granted 3 of those were against St Lou and Washington but it’s something. makes up for Stroman being god-awful against everyone .

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Taillon is fine right now. I am way more worried about Smyly. He has not been good. They cannot keep rolling him out there.

I can't remember what show it was (maybe Rosie's Wake and Bake), but it was stated that the Cubs tried to add a pitch to his repertoire. When he ditched it is when he started improving.

Looks like Hendricks is pumped for this . He's pushing 90 on the FB!

They won't be doing anything against Fried.

game is flying by. they'll be done in an hour if this keeps up

2nd time through vs Hendricks, they will tee off on him now

Hendricks with this fall apart inning right here. how did Albies not hit that out of the park.

ump helping him out with terrible strike calls.

pull his ass now before it gets to 5-0

called it

4-0

mother fucker just lobbed that ball to Murphy. Even Moncada would have hit that out.

woke up early for this shit!

Ballgame. They are going to get swept

acuna goes back to back

Hendricks just lobbing his 80 mph pitches .

5-0

wtf Ross seeing?

i guess Ross will pull him when it's 7-0 this inning.

6-0 now. all 6 this inning.

Bravens batted around - still not done

right as I hit the REPLY button it's 7-0 this is a fucking joke.

Hendricks still out there

This is what an actual contending playoff team looks like.

well they can beat shit teams and teams in the division but they can't beat the elite teams in baseball. Not just beat, but can't even compete.

it's the 4th inning and you're giving up ? What kind of fan are you ?

realistic one

just leave hendricks out there to save the pen now. he's at 70 some pitches now. save the pen for Sat/Sun

fried looks like he's gonna pitch a no-no today

I am flabbergasted. I really thought they were going to win out the rest of the season.

i'd put a position player out there to pitch now. might as well.

They should call up one of the MANY talented 25yr old CFs they’ve stashed away in the minors.

May get them over the hump.

At least Wesneski is competitive out there. I'm tired of Hendricks and his garbage BP 89 MPH fastball. He doesn't have a good slider or curve either. Get rid of him.

btw, how stupid to waste Wesnewski in this one? Another gaffe by Ross.

Now that the Candyman is back, Hendricks is no longer the only player from 2016. Dump him.
