His sinker hits mid/upper 80's. Lots of dink grounders with that pitch. Mix in a 79mph change . Yeah, he'd be frustrating to hit off of.

And that 86 mph fastball is one of those 2 seamers that move so much, left to right, it almost looks like a screwball. That was Maddux go to/put away pitch. Hendricks’ 2 seamer seems to get better every season.
With that change up, and now that he is developing a decent curve, the 2 seamer is just unfair, especially when he’s locating like he was last night.
Nothing alarming from Darvish, but not a great outing. I'm more disappointed the offense couldn't take advantage of a pretty bad performance by Burnes.
It's more of the same as last year. Can't hit worth ****. If they don't hit 5 home runs a game, they don't score.
Not going to get too worked up about today - I'd rather our bullpen prove how worthless they are now instead of waiting until September.
My only issue - we knew we had a mental midget on the mound for us. Why are Baez and Contreras making the game about themselves on those inside pitches and starting ****? And then back it up by doing nothing productive after the 3rd inning scuffle while the Brewers **** in their mouths?

Short of switching from YouTubeTV to Hulu Live, any reliable way to watch Cubs games this year?
