4-1

[C.C.]

wow, if the last two ab's (walker's and murton's) don't show you how stupid it would be to trade walker for another lf, i don't know what will.

 

No one has ever said Walker can't hit, but his fielding is very suspect espically with the bad leg. Don't you view him as an more of a American League guy?

 

His leg is fine.

 

Regardless you have to agree his a bad defender...

 

No I don't. I agree he leaves something to be desired, but I don't believe he is bad. He does not lose games with his glove (anymore than most others that is).

 

I tend to disagree. I've seen plenty of games he couldn't turn 2 or couldn't make the easy play. His range is really poor. I just want someone with better range. With a Cedeno at SS you want someone solid at 2nd base.

Rivera doubled off the center field wall, Cabrera scored

and with rusch, williams, maddux and hill in the rotation, you need someone that can hit the freaking ball.

 

damn it, hill...4-2.

I don't get it. If anything, Cedeno makes the second baseman better.

rich hill sucks :lol:

 

I'm still waiting for his talent to shine. I mean basically he hasn't shown anything but a above average to great curve ball. I know he's only got 20 innings under his belt in the bigs, but I can't see how in the world you are going to be an effective starter with 1 pitch.

Defense and pitching wins.

[BeerHere]

Walks kill ya. He's gotta have command if he's going to move forward. He followed up a good approach with Vlad with back-to-back hits.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto singled to center field

Pitching wins, offense helps, and defense contributes a little. The Cubs have shady pitching, and desperately need all the offense they can get.

Pierre grounde into a DP, 6-4-3, Soto out at second

He blew Vlad away with two FB's up in the zone.

Pierre sucks......

But if we keep saying he has 1 pitch then it will be true eventually.

Big deal! He still gave up 2 runs in the first inning. Can you honestly say Rich Hill has impressed you. At all?

Yes, I honestly can.

[WrigleyinEngland]

I'm really worried about how hard he's hetting hit. Needs another season at AAA to find that other pitch IMO.

He just struck out Vlad with a fastball, so I wouldn't say he's a one pitch kid. Still, he's too wild and it's going to hurt him in the bigs. It's like jekyll and hyde. One AB, gives up the rocket double. The next batter he makes look [expletive]. I'm not sold either.

[C.C.]

Just needs to find control first and foremost.
