There are plenty of articles to link to regarding Kyle Hendricks’ desire to pitch past this season and how it won’t likely be with the Cubs. As well as no longer being an “only one team” Immaculate Grid selection, this is going to be the last piece of the 2016 World Series championship group saying goodbye. Kyle will come back to us in future Cubs Conventions and whenever they need a guest conductor, and perhaps he may one day serve as a pitching coach or some other capacity in the organization, but the days of him pitching effectively for the North Siders is over. Let’s instead remember him as he was, while we await what is to be his final start wearing the home team’s uniform.

berselius,
Are you insinuating that his get-up-and-go must have got up and went?

I was at the NLCS clincher in 16. He was absolutely locked in that night.

Not that the outcome matters, but I think they would have left him in if the cubs had managed to score anything
berseliusQuote Reply
That was pretty awesome.
andcountingQuote Reply
Shame he can’t get the W, but it was awesome to see vintage Cyle and for him to get the mid-inning hook to get a proper ovation and curtain call.

If Mets win and AZ lose, then no doubleheader on Monday. Otherwise there’s at least one game.

They did a full-inning in-game interview with Cyle on Marquee. Pretty good stuff.

Well
Aside from the initial fun out, I’m gonna say Ethan Roberts does not have a guaranteed spot next year
Rice CubeQuote Reply
Identical as last year, think losing the tiebreaker means they finished in third place, but I guess we will see what 2025 brings.
Meanwhile if the Mets and Barves split, AZ is out. If there’s a sweep, AZ and the sweeper are in. Fun times.

I was considering a postmortem but feel like I’ve said mostly what needs to be said and the would-be fixes are kind of obvious, so while I figure out where to find some free-ish conferencing software to revive the pod again someone else can have a cracked at it…

So will the Mets lay down for game 2, or will they sweep so a rested Arizona squadron has more life against the Brewers?

Can’t read the tweet, but it looks like they’re cutting payroll too
gotta maximize those competitive balance picks

That’s basically it yeah, I believe they’re letting Goldschmidt go and looking to trade Sonny Gray

I think at minimum, Edwin Diaz can’t pitch in game 2, and the Mets may be at least a tad tipsy before first pitch anyway, so this will be a likely split or else the funniest sweep of all time

Sale not being able to start definitely makes it more interesting.

Makes sense. I’m sure Counsell wants more input on his staff and I’m not sure one could call the Cubs’ coaches and trainers especially effective this year.
