“You can’t turn back the clock… you can’t turn back the tide. Ain’t that a shame?” – Queen, These Are the Days of Our Lives
To say the Padres feasted on Kyle Hendricks is putting it mildly. The Professor has given up at least five runs in three consecutive starts for the first time in his career, but that’s encapsulating yesterday’s performance in a kind way. San Diego put 21 balls in play against Hendricks, seven of which were considered hard-hit. A reckoning could be coming soon.
In seven starts, Shu014dta Imanaga, Jordan Wicks, Javier Assad, and Ben Brown have allowed only six earned runs in 33.
