Cubs (1-2) @ Braves (0-3), 4/1/2019, 6:10CST

Submitted by CTSteve on

Kyle Hendricks takes the mound for the first time in 2019.

The steady Hendricks worked on his curveball quite a bit early in Spring Training and
may be looking to diversify his repertoire. It should be both cool and humid
in Atlanta this evening—maybe good conditions to snap a few off. Few
Atlanta batters have succeeded against Hendricks, but Markakis has batted
over .400 against him.

Hendricks matches up against the much more powerful Sean Newcomb. With a
lefty on the mound, expect the Cubs to sit some lefties and for Almora to
start in the leadoff spot despite a terrible showing in the opening series.
Several Cubs batters have fared well against Newcomb in limited appearances,
with Baez, Almora, and Bryant leading the way.

Both teams look to reset after losing their opening series. If they fail to
do so, this might become a contest to determine whose bullpen is colder. We
may get to see how Edwards adjusts to the ruling on the illegal foot plant in
his retooled delivery.

cj not doing that busted ass exagerated kenley jansen knockoff thing tonight...

he is screwing with how quick his delivery is, though...real quick mixed with real slow and points in between.

"burn the tape for this one." - len

12 hits and 7 walks given up for 8 runs...the defense contributed 6 errors...and only 2 of those 8 runs were earned.

    bellinger wins comeback player of the year.  the AL winner was liam hendricks and his 5ip before he got tommy john...setting himself up for a 2025 shot at the award.

    I hope that Perlaza goes on to have a successful career.  On most Cubs teams prior to the current administration, he would have been one of their more highly ranked prospects.  As far as the others are concerned, one or more may well go on to be much better than expected, but unfortunately there is no way to tell which one at the present time.  You can't keep everyone.

    s.gray signs with the cards...3/75m

    Another one of the nine Cubs post-2023 Rule 9 minor league 6YFA has signed, as RHP Carlos Guzman (acquired from the Tigers for Zack McKinstry at the end of Spring Training) signed a 2024 minor league contract with the Mets. 

     

    So RHRP Yovanny Cruz (SD), C-INF P. J. Higgins (CIN), and now Carlos Guzman (NYM) have already signed 2024 minor league contracts with new MLB organizations, and OF Yonathan Perlaza is headed for Korea (Hanhwa Eagles).

    ...and back to 3rd for another game.  at this point i'm gonna hang back and when/if he actually plays 1st then i'll find it notable.  i am glad he's playing a good amount of 3rd, though...give the club one more good look at him there.  shrug

    e.escobar was throwing 95-97mph on his fastball in 2023.

    One more thing about Edwin Escobar. Even though he had accrued less than one year of MLB Service Time prior to signing with Nippon Ham in 2017 (he ended up eventually with Yokohama), he will have Article XIX-A rights by virtue of the seven seasons he spent in Japan. So he will be essentially locked on the 40-man roster (or at least he can't be outrighted without his consent), and he will be a FA whenever his contract expires.
