Life is good when our Chicago Cubs are in first place. What’s even better is when our starting pitcher is on a hot streak against the Cardinals. Let’s just say that class has been in session for St. Louis and Kyle Hendricks is handing out failing grades.
Hendricks isn’t necessarily known for his velocity but has proven himself as a solid rotation arm since making his arrival from Texas. Despite being the lone arm remaining from that deal — the other being Carl Edwards Jr. — a path to Cubs greatness is evident.
Granted, he has experienced several bumps along the way, but that’s fairly normal for someone in the big leagues.
