...and he was leaving them over the middle of the plate rather than around the edges.

I certainly am concerned there too, and wish more had been done with the entire pitching staff.

He’s always adjusted, to an extent, but his stuff is awful. I won’t go as far as pulling him from the rotation, but maybe skip a start to see if we can catch lightning in a bottle.

The Professor’s ride is running on empty.

I think “lower back” is translated as: let’s sit a couple of starts to hit the reset button and see if that helps.

Sorry, I actually like Hendricks and hope he can figure things out.

I just can't resist a wide open net.

"You look like you're hurt to me. Yeah, probably your lower back. Go get some rest ... until, like, August."

It’s been a rough go for Hendricks. I haven’t watched much this year but when I have he doesn’t look like he’s having fun out there. Only time I’ve seen him more agitated was handing the ball over to Joe Maddon in Game 7.
