In Kyle We Trust (at least for the 1st 5 innings)

2-1 A’s Top Of 6th!!!!

Kyle Hendricks had issued just 8 walks in the first 5 innings of his nine starts this season at Wrigley Field.  He had allowed just two home runs, both solo shots.  Tonight, he issued one walk and allowed one home run in the first 5 innings.  Of course they both happened in the same inning.  Of course the walk preceded the home run.  Of course the home run barely cleared the basket, a shocking drive to the opposite field with, of course, two outs.  And of course those were the only two A's hitters to reach base in the first 5 innings. 

Of course.

Seven baserunners for the Cubs and two for the A's.  Naturally, that spelled defeat.

A flip of the middle finger goes out to Jason Heyward, who as the ineffective leadoff hitter surprised everyone who has common sense by attempting to bunt his way on base on the first pitch of the game from Chris Bassitt.  On the first pitch?  Yes.  He failed miserably and was easily thrown out by the catcher. In the bottom of the 2nd inning, unfortunately it was Heyward's turn in the batting order when the bases were loaded with two outs.  He was blown away on three pitches, the last one up and away.  In the bottom of the 4th, following a surprising 2-out single by Hendricks, Heyward worked a 2-2 count, but Bassitt knew what to do.  Up and away, again.  End of the inning.

Mr. Bator, recalled you posting from a long time ago.

And of course the Cubs tied the game at the first opportunity following my exit from the action when Javy Baez homered to lead off the bottom of the 6th. I fully expected them to score in the bottom of the 6th just to rub salt in the wound, but a leadoff home run made things extra salty.  Then the offense went crazy in the bottom of the 7th.  Even Heyward contributed a single.

Only the first 5.  Of course.

Well I always hate that when you take 1st 5 and then they score in the 6th etc.

     If u look at the pattern  Of j heyward he scores 1 time then next game doesnt if he scores 2 times in a game next day he most likely. He scores 1 or nothing i predicted both teams 4 to 5 runs i didnt expect heyward to score that makes 6 points i wish i posted my parlay today
