REKAP: ⚾️Cubs 9-3 Loss to the Pirates - You can’t keep pitching Kyle Hendricks every 5th day

- #PaulSkenes dominated the Cubs today. In fact, he didn’t even give up a hit in the six innings that he pitched. And he struck out 11 batters. Meanwhile, and the other dugout, #KyleHendricks struggled again. He went 4.2 innings and gave up 11 hits and eight runs. Seven of the runs were earned. #Kap says you can’t keep throwing him out there every fifth day. He knows he had a good start his last time out, and the Cubs will probably give him another start, but at some point, the Cubs need to figure out what to do with Kyle.
And their bats aren’t doing him any favors. With so many injuries, the #Cubs lineup is just not that scary right now. For a team that hopes to contend this year, it sure feels like they have a lot of holes right now.

Why would you sign Happ to a 4 year 80 million dollar contract. When you have 4-5 your best prospects in the minor league. You just block them from coming up. terrible decision!!
agree happ is average at best. still have no idea how he won those gold gloves
Completely agree. That Happ extension will not age well. One year in and we’re already regretting it…
All the no trade clause really means he can’t get traded to a team he doesn’t want to play for, he can veto any trade but he can basically choose where he goes. I wish they would rename that clause. Most guys ok being traded because they don’t want to play for a team that doesn’t want them.
Thanks for the reKap Kap! LET'S GO CUBS!!! ⚾️✌️💙🐻
Paul Skenes is gonna be a thorn in the side of us for a decade+. This kid is unreal and he has absolutely schooled us in his two starts. Glad to see him get another team now but also we need to build a team that can hit velocity if this is what's in our division now, alongside that Jared Jones kid they have + Hunter Greene on the Reds. Counsell can do a lot but he can't hit 100 mph+ for us! You don't gotta slug it all over but you can't look as meek and lifeless as they did today, you gotta fight
Kap if the Cubs allow Hendricks to start vs the bats of the Braves this team is showing us they don’t care. God help us if the winds blowing out. Kyle might never make it out of the 1st! If Happ was producing like a $20M dollar player should maybe you bat him #2, but this dude belongs hitting 7Th not 2nd right now. Cubs need to win the next 2 just for a split vs the lousy Pirates. Will they do it, not with this offense! Pissed off Kap, this is unacceptable! Kyle Hendricks is finished!
Speaking straight facts, but it's still early technically for happ but I have little faith he's long with Cubs to many higher upside talent beating down the door in minors as far as Hendricks it's like Hoody said ya may have to put the dog down maybe a pitching coach job as a respect gesture for a beloved cubbie.
Thanks for your professionalism Kyle love ya.thanx for the great memories..
Damn whitesox looking better than the cubs right now, sad to say.
💯 Kap. He's a legend for the organization, but it's not there anymore
My delusion of a Cubs' 4-game sweep of the Pirates is in the ashcan.
My hope that Kyle Hendricks could recapture some part of the pitcher he's been the past 8 seasons is gone.
Now I'm just clinging to the fantasy that this team is still the best in the Central division.
That the injuries will dial back to one or two instead of over a dozen!
That great pitching AND great hitting will happen in the same game now and again just as a change of pace!
My Obvious t-shirt reads "I don't have another 108 years."
At 75, I might not have another 108 months!
C'mon, guys...give an old lady a break! Win. Just win. Then win again. You get the idea... Appreciate it.
The Cubs continue to pitch Kyle Hendricks is straight up insanity. Unbelievable fustrating. This team has too holes Jed should had done more in the offseason
Kap!!!! Should Cubs call up Shaw? He can play SS/2B/3B/Corner OF. All Spots we are having injuries. Can't help but think Shaw would be awesome spelling Morel, Swanson, Nico, Happ, Suzuki and just giving the team a ton of energy.
He's hitting 217 in the minors
I love Kyle, but he’s been done for a grip.
Paul Skenes, Looks like a young Tom Seaver…Cubs are in trouble
It’s 16 now because of Brewer.
There’s no room for this version of Hendricks as a Starter or as a reliever on this team tbh. He could be a long man perhaps on days where the Cubs are being blown out maybe got other than that, what’s his role? AAA until we may need him as an emergency arm?
Kyle does ok for the first inning. Send him to the pen and bring up a kid with heat.
Kyle needs to retire , he doesn’t have it anymore. They need win the next 2 games, the tough homestand coming up they need to get it done.
Time for ownership to prove themselves or move along....
NL central; look out below!!
Skenes was filthy. I'm not confident in Shota tomorrow, as the weather is warming up and he is a flyball pitcher. Happ now has 51 strikeouts and 2 homers. BAD! Hopefully they are briinging up this Hodge kid to show him to teams for a trade piece. Not looking good at all Kap. Have a great weekend man.
I’m not a big Pirates fan, but I can certainly recognize excellence. And that’s what everyone was seeing as Skenes mowed Cub after Cub down at Wrigley this afternoon. Yes, KAP, without a pitch limit on him a no-no was very possible. Even more lamentable is the low-average, Morel, breaking up the no-no since he won’t even be in the majors next year. He’s that bad. Cubs are banged up, true, but who knows what their conditioning program is, if any. They have a new manager, a supposed ‘wunderkind’ who the media couldn’t stop praising when Chicago signed him. Does Counsell accept any responsibility for the casualties on his watch? Curious.
Time to send hendricks to either the bullpen or retirement house
It's time for the retirement house for Kyle.
Is he a candidate to go down and learn a knuckleball? If anyone can figure it out…he already throws butterflies, if they went every direction that could be interesting….
Kyles done. Bad re sign Jed. $16 mil oopsies
I have heard for the last week about what a lousy offense the Pirates have, but they sure look good against Steele and Hendricks. Maybe it's because the rest of the pitchers they face in the league throw over 93 mph? The Cubs starting staff desperately needs a higher velo guy like I Brown or Wesneski in the mix to give clubs a different look and not put so many balls in play, especially when this vaunted defense is not so vaunted right now.
As much as I love Hendo, I agree Kap you must stop running him out there.
Why not Canario instead of Happ?
I can't have the bats not do anything right know...
Did Cy Young just pitch against the Cubs today? Geesh...
I'll say this comment as well as I did with MLB. Kyle isn't the guy anymore he's going to have to sit for the next couple of starts and but Brown in his spot so he can work out his kinks. If Kyle can't get any better it's best to part ways with him for something cheap if he can't fix his production level by trade deadline
Hendricks may be out of bullets but he had a surprisingly good career.
"Best defense in league i'm just telling ya"
You can't name me 90 OFs better than Tauchman. Can't name 30 CFs. 30 Leadoff hitters. He is a Starter, but on a World Series team he's that Glue Guy you need.
I'd take tauchman over 2016 heyward 100 times out of 100!!
Put Hendricks in the bullpen
Someone should teach hapless how to switch hit.
Hendricks is well past his prime. I used to like Kyle but it's time the Cubs release him.
civic embarrassment right now Kap
That was also the first third shutout in the last five games. Given two were at the hands of the Braves, but that there is White Sox-like.
Rent free
It sucks, but the professor is cooked
Kyle is done and will be released around the break.
What the hell is going on with this team and All these guys banged up something needs to get better fast or they will finish maybe 3 rd !!!
Millwaukee was not better than the cubs because of their manager!
I've been harping on happ for a long time. Love his glove but he's taking up prime batting order spot and you can't have that with a glut of outfielders
Love his glove?!? He’s average at best
Happ needs to go on the DL for a mental break. His face shows that he’s not there. 20 million is a lot of money but baseball just can’t get away from these bad contracts.
If kyle Hendricks had any honor, he would retire, mid-season
Hendricks has been average since 2019.. why are we still hanging on to the past… it’s 2024!!
Hendricks has three pitches , slow , slower and slowest . Embarrassing ! Our batters seem to love swinging at ball four . I'll bet David Ross is smiling.
You hate to C it
Kap, can the debit card assist the Chicago Cubs with buying a fucking clue?
Bullpen for Hendricks I think? For rest of year.
Would you even trust him in the pen ? I wouldn't.
Hendricks can't go back on IL. He showed his last start he can still Pitch. We need him in the Bullpen before you would even think about cutting him. In the Bullpen I think he looks like his last start. Every 5 Games he's gonna give you 3 really good appearances. We don't have that now. Could say LR/Spot starter. He would do well there. I think 🤔 he's tiring easier because of age, so the bullpen is actually a really good option. You don't pay the guy to Not pitch for you with all these holes in the Bullpen
He gives up Homers in the first inning , against the Pirates yet . How do you think he'd be any better in the pen ? Let it go man .
Skenes is no joke, yes but cubs bats have been lost. Too
Many toxic bats in the lineup regularly. Sign a proven catcher for one, get rid of happ, Swanson. Bring someone else up idc if they’re batting .200 in the minors we need to prove a point, anyones replaceable.
):What?
It is time to cut their losses and dump Kyle. Ge is just not worth the losses that the Cubs are receiving due to his lack of pitching.
Hendricks need to retire. Happ needs to go to the minors for a month to find his swing.
Cubs need to implement daily yoga, many of these players are over engineered via weight lifting. Never seen so many injuries, not only with Cubs but baseball in general. Players pre-Free Agency Era smoked and drank like sailors, didn’t have all these issues.
You have a point; injuries are all over tbe place…almost half the league’s teams has 10 or more players on their IL. I don’t know if yoga’s the answer, but SOMEthing has to change with the conditioning programs league-wide.
Somewhere David Ross is sitting back and laughing his ass off at this Cubs team.
I just to understand why cubs not bringing up some minor leaguers.
Coach
What do you mean ? This team is full of minor leaguers !
@@michaelboldyga6239 it is? Other than Brown and PCA who's playing quite often, who else? I mean PCA still struggles to hit MLB pitching, other than him who else?
@@thechi2848 I was referring to the quality of the whole team in general and in particular Happless , Amaya , Swanson and a couple of others at any given time , and what has Counsell done to justify that outrageous contract ? That's money that could have been spent on a couple of premium players , either bullpen or other . And the Swanson deal was sure a lot of money for a no hit defensive shortstop. If it wasn't for some terrific starting pitching minus Hendricks this team would be looking up at the rest of the division. So that's what my analogy of full of minor leaguers was meant to convey . I should have said that they are playing like a bunch of minor leaguers . Sorry if I confused you .
@@michaelboldyga6239 OH ok, but I totally agree with everything you said.
No reason to waste the summer watching this product. It's not very entertaining all.
I'm not superstition, but baseball is.
With that being said. Every game that they have lost this season.
The highlights were spoiled for me.
By them, or another channel.
I don't get to watch the games.
The highlights are my life.
Yet utterly point less if you know the out come before watching them.
I've unsubscribed, turned off notifications.
Yet they still managed to get spoiled.
So I came to the conclusion.
My Quan is messing them up.
I have no doubt.
&
Will no longer seek out highlights until the day after 😕
"Because I Must"
This lineup sucks tom ricketts is Cheap he didn't not care this lineup sucks and team too
