He has the perfect temperament for the job. Hendricks was tabbed to start the best-of-five series opener at Nationals Park ahead of the Cubs' Opening Day starter, Jon Lester, who will start Game 2. "I remember back in the day when the torch was passed to me to do that," Lester said. "It's a cool thing for [Hendricks]. I'm excited for him. I'm sure he's excited to go out there on Friday and get on that stage again." Hendricks is definitely not your typical big league pitcher. You can ignore the radar gun readings at the ballpark; they don't define him. "He's doing it in a different method," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday. "He's not that guy who lights up the gun; he knows how to pitch. I talk to a lot of different pitching coaches, a lot of different managers and some [general managers], and he's their favorite. I think it's probably because of the style of his pitching and his ability to pitch, the fastball command, the movement on the fastball, the changeup -- he's just fun to watch. "He's a technician. Coming from Dartmouth to here, what he's done for himself and his career, almost winning a Cy Young last year, is really impressive." Hendricks led the Major Leagues with a 2.13 ERA last season, and finished third in NL Cy Young Award voting. This year, he went 7-5 with a 3.03 ERA in 24 starts. His second-half numbers are why he's starting Game 1: Hendricks was 4-3 with a 4.09 ERA in 11 starts before the All-Star break, and has gone 3-2 with a 2.19 ERA in 13 starts since. "I think he's pitching right now better than I saw him any time last year," Maddon said. "The velocity is better, and the other pitches are working better off the greater velocity." Last year, the right-hander was 1-1 with a 1.42 ERA in five postseason starts, and the Cubs won three of his games, including Game 7 of the World Series. His demeanor is impressive. "You hardly know he's breathing out there," Lester said. "He may allow it in his head, but you'd never know it. He doesn't let the emotions of the game get to him. The pitching aspect of it is impressive, but what he does on the mound to control his emotions and how he goes about his business out there, you'd never know if he's up 10 [runs], down 10, or if it's an April 15 start or a World Series start." How does Hendricks do it? "I'm just having fun out there, really," Hendricks said. "I've dreamed about this my whole life. There's so much that goes on on the outside, the attention, but really it doesn't matter. All that matters is between the lines, and that's what I live for and what I have the most fun doing. I'm dialed in and focused on the task at hand, and I love competing and winning, and that's all I'm doing out there." The Cubs acquired Hendricks, 27, from the Rangers in July 2012 in exchange for Ryan Dempster. Who would've thought the skinny finance major from Dartmouth would be opening a playoff series? "We certainly did not envision it at the time," Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said.

  • A Summer Wildfire: How the Greatest Debut in Baseball History Peaked and Dwindled Over the Course of Three Months
    The Report committee for Colin Thomas Reynolds Certifies that this is the approved version of the following report: A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Co-Supervisor: ______________________________________ Tracy Dahlby Co-Supervisor: ______________________________________ Bill Minutaglio ______________________________________ Dave Sheinin A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, B.A. Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May, 2011 To my parents, Lyn & Terry, without whom, none of this would be possible. Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.

  • Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks Honoring the World
    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks Honoring the World Series Champion Washington Nationals November 4, 2019 The President. Well, thank you very much, everyone. I have to say, this is a record. We've never had this many people on the front lawn of the White House. So congratulations. Just another record for the Nats. But today the First Lady and I are thrilled to welcome to the White House the 2019 World Series Champions, the Washington Nationals. For the first time in nearly 100 years, our Nation's Capital is celebrating a World Series victory. That's big stuff. The last time Washington, DC, was home to the World Series champs, the President was a gentleman named Calvin Coolidge. That's a long time ago. Nearly a century later, the Nationals have brought back the trophy to America's Capital, and you've won it. This is the first World Series in franchise history, and it's going to be, really, the first of many, I predict. I want to congratulate the terrific owners of the team. Your principal owner, Mark Lerner, and Ted Lerner. Great people. The Lerner family. A man who's become very famous—I think he's much more famous than me right now— General Manager Mike Rizzo. You have become very famous, huh? General Manager and President of Baseball Operations Mike Rizzo. Thank you, sir. The President. A manager—and you watch all the mistakes made in baseball and other sports, and then you watch what this man did as manager. He didn't make any.

  • New Season, New Team: Buck and Smoltz Take Fox Mlb Reins April 9 on Fs1
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Dan Bell Thursday, March 31, 2016 [email protected] Jonathan Butnick [email protected] NEW SEASON, NEW TEAM: BUCK AND SMOLTZ TAKE FOX MLB REINS APRIL 9 ON FS1 2016 Play-By-Play Broadcaster and Analyst Rosters Unveiled Los Angeles – Opening Day 2016 is right around the corner and anticipation for the looming Major League Baseball season is reaching a fever pitch from coast-to-coast. As the grind of spring training gives way to the hopes of spring, FOX Sports unveils its broadcasters for the coming season, highlighted by its new lead pair, seven-time Emmy-winning play-by-play announcer Joe Buck and first-ballot Hall of Fame pitcher, analyst John Smoltz. The announcement was made today by John Entz, President of Production & Executive Producer, FOX Sports. Buck, the voice of FOX Sports’ baseball coverage since its first broadcast in 1996, enters his 21st season in the lead booth. In addition to calling marquee regular season contests, he’s also behind the mic for the All-Star Game and postseason, including his 16th consecutive World Series and 19th overall. Smoltz, the former eight-time All-Star and Cy Young Award winner, joined FOX Sports in 2014 and enters his third season with the network. He was elevated to lead analyst to work alongside Buck in December.
