Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks has gotten off to poor starts before. And as he attempts to weather another slow beginning to a season, Hendricks is trying to focus mentally on the good.

“That’s where it’s at, number one,” Hendricks said. “Mentally, just keeping it simple and trying to stay positive on those things and then just taking the right mental approach when I’m out there.”

On Sunday against the Marlins, Hendricks didn’t look as bad as the pitcher who was shelled in his first four outings, walking none for the second time in his last three starts.
