Lol...these takes on Hendriks are hilarious. Dude has been arguably the best reliever in baseball the last two years and simply is hitting a cold stretch. Probably doesn’t help that he’s used to being used frequently and now pitches once every four days. Blame La Russa for that.
Honestly, I don’t place much value on having an emergency catcher. Would rather go for the win in the 8th then worry about a 1/1000 chance that our only catcher gets injured and has to be replaced.
To be honest, this is our best window to get a run with Yermin, Vaughn, & Collins coming up. I do hope they have Grandal ready to pinch hit in the 9th if need be.
