Not much to go on for Hendricks vs. the Dodgers batters, but here you go anyway.

This is Urias's second start in his career and he obviously has not faced the Cubs. 

Will the Cubs win? No.

538 Forecast: 64% chance of winning

    Myles:
    Cubs are winless against 19-year old pitchers in the last decade plus, so I believe it.

    It’s been even longer since the last time the Cubs beat a teenage left-handed starting pitcher for the Dodgers. I didn’t come to my conclusion without thinking deeply about it.

    Happy birthday Neifi – 43 today!

    The Cubs need superfluous and middling middle infield help. Do you think he’s available?

    dmick89: Not sure why he’s batting.

    So he can give up a weak, infield single to start the 7th and then get fearfully yanked.

    Pretty awesome when you comfortably beat a decent team with one of your best hitters taking a day off and your fifth starter on the mound.

    SK,

    You’ve been playing The Show too, haven’t you? I finally turned them off when I could predict their exact words. Now Pat and Ron narrate in my head.

    josh,

    My favorite is when Eric Karros says “…not only has he not allowed a hit, he hasn’t allowed a single baserunner. You can’t get much better than that.”

    SK,

    I got annoyed because I had a 20K game with Arrieta and they didn’t say a damn thing. I also get annoyed that you can’t look up your hitters OBP, because NERRRRD

    The Cubs have beat my expectations (5–2) with a 6–1 start to this homstand. 8–2 is a likely outcome. This is nice.

    The tickets my parents bought are aisle 36, row 6. I’m hoping to be able to spit on the umpire from there

    The Yankees are increasingly desperate for offense. They miraculously just squeaked a run across on one hit. Oh, look Starlin got another. I really have a good feeling about Vogelbach being a good masher for them in the near future.

    Ok, new trade idea, ’cause these are fun:

    Jason Hammel, Jorge Soler, Dan Vogelbach, and Donnie Dewees to the Yankees for LHPs Andrew Miller, Jordan Montgomery, and James Pazos plus RHP Cale Coshow. Trading strength for strength. Adam Warren slots into the rotation. Miller (and maybe Pazos) to the pen. Montgomery and Coshow create starting pitching depth that can miss bats. Yankees get good rotation help and desperately needed bats that can play now and are cheap plus some depth.

    Hell of a pitchers duel in sd V Seattle

    The funniest part of the Mariners nine-run seventh inning is that all of the runs were scored on singles.
