At this rate, an ESPN Sunday-night Cubs/Cardinals game might actually go less than 3 hours long. :stare:

Hendricks was rolling early against the Padres too, and then the wheels came off. I'm not exactly putting stock in this game staying close forever.

He only threw that one bad pitch against the Padres. The rest was him getting squeezed and a guy leaning into a pitch. :mad:

To be fair, Ross being the one to ask it and getting a response of "Well you weren't here for your bat, so I needed to give you something to do." is pretty :allears:

So that's back to back games now where Kyle's faced the minimum through three and then completely lost his command in the 4th, resulting in a ton of runs.

Give it to this Cubs team, they're very, very consistent in the ways they're loving it up.
