Let's go Riot

5-4-3

 

:x

[rawaction]

Strange stat. Buck Coats is 16-35 with the bases empty (.457), and 4-25 with runners on (.160).

 

And there's a bases empty walk.

[abuck1220]

hill's 2nd inning.

Why is he unable to do that in the majors?

 

who says he can't?

 

he had more good innings than bad when he was up last year.

Consistancy is the issue I guess.

and sample size.

[RyCubsFan]

And Fox's great year continues with a 2-out, 2-run double, a steal of 3rd base, and a run scored in the 3rd to tie the game at 4.

 

:shock:

[RyCubsFan]

Fuld 4-5, with 4 RBIs.

 

Fuld started slow last year, then tore it up the rest of the summer. Looks like he's doing the same this year....only his slow start was shorter than last years. I like it!

Fuld is one of those guys that can just play. He doesn't grade high with tools, but he's a good baseball player. Hopefully, lack of size and projectability don't keep him from a major league career.

[abuck1220]

furious that two balls were hit past the pitcher's mound (ground out and single to cf), hill demands that theriot throw away a potential double play grounder so that he can rack up some more k's...and then he k's the next two guys.

 

iowa has guys on 2nd and 3rd after a soto double.

 

hill: 4 ip, 2 h, 0 r, 1 bb, 7 k's, 65 pitches

[rawaction]

Hill 4 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 7 Ks.

 

The 2 hits are the only balls to leave the IF.

ha ha I like it.

 

If I were Hill, I'd be somewhat frustrated about Marshall and Guzman starting the next two nights. Not frustrated at either to them to be clear, but at myself for not really nailing the opportunity when I had it. I'd be so fucussed and ready to impress, just in case one of Marshall or Guzman stumble...or Rusch continues to struggle and Wood/Prior aren't back yet. Now is the time for Hill to impress before all the doors of opportunity close with the Cubs for him.

He should be furious that [expletive] is taking his spot in the rotation on the big club.

[rawaction]

Sit down, Cody.

if he's really the 9th guy on the depth chart, i wish the cubs would just trade hiim. they're not helping his career any by having him dominate AAA until he's 29. if he can't crack the rotation w/ williams and rusch sucking and wood, prior, and miller all hurt, i don't see how he's ever going to.

 

and i wouldn't say that he missed his opportunity. sure, he had a few struggles during ST, but you can't expect him to be perfect every time out. marshall was fortunate to have a good run of 10 innings, and guzman has potential on his side. hill would've had to have matched marshall inning for inning during ST, and that would have been hard to do.

[chopsx9]

I know [expletive] is Rusch. Is there a reason why? (Although quite frankly there doesn't have to be).

[rawaction]

Bye Barzilla

 

and Jimerson.

 

K's the side.

[E.J.]

Hill is dominating today. Just k'ed the side in the 5th. 10 k's on the day. Call him up!!!

[abuck1220]

wow.

 

i'd say that rusch, marshall and guzman should be watching their back, but they really don't have to, so i won't say it.

[rawaction]

wow.

Doesn't make any sense for Hill not to be part of the ML Cubs at this point. How he didn't get the nod over Guzman (pushed 1 day back instead of 3), I'll never know.

I wonder if Guzman is up as a "show-me" in a trade scenario.

Rough day so far for The Riot:

0-3, popped out, hit into a force play, got doubled off first on a liner to short and one fielding error.

I think I found my new nickname with the BeerBuddies: Barzilla!
