Isn't that something like 19 consecutive starts without giving up more than 3 runs?

I'm going to say it again: Hendricks needs to start Game 1 of the NLDS.

Looking at his stats, he gave up 3 runs to the White Sox 8 games ago.

edit - Well 8 starts, before anyone gets nitpicky. :)

May 17 was the last time he gave up more than 3 earned runs. August 14, 2015 was the last time he gave up more than 4 earned runs.

Cubs need 1 Central division win in their last 22 games to ensure a winning record against every NL division and against the AL. They went 19-14 against both the NL East and West and are 13-4 against the AL with 3 to play.

Hendricks for Cy Young. He won't get it due to Ls and a few other stats but one of those is because he lords his Dartmouth education over everyone.

Yeah perhaps the most impressive feat is that Hendricks has been the most consistently good starting pitcher in all of baseball for the entire season. Even Kershaw, in his absolutely historic start to the series, had a 5 ER clunker.

Waino! I think almost all of his hits this year have been for extra bases. His average could use a little boost but I'm happy with the slugging pitcher narrative.

E: Piscotty earning his spot on my favorite players list! Thanks, Biscuits!

E2: Infield hit for Matt Adams! This will not deter any of us making fat jokes.

I mean, I'm not sure what the Giants thought intentionally walking the bases loaded at Coors would accomplish besides setting up the grand slam. :confused:
