Thank you, thank you I'll be here all night.

[Fred Hornkohl]

C'mon Hill, let's get a double play here.

 

Ask, and ye shall reveive !! :wink:

Decent inning from Hill. Giles is just a damn good hitter.

 

Yea his OPS isn't so great, and his slugging has tailed off remarkably this year. He still is an OBP machine, but the sudden major drop off in SLG% makes me think he might have been on something.

 

23 of their first 37 have been at home, where no left handers do any good slugging wise. Also, of their 14 road games, 9 were in the 1st/2nd week of the season.

 

 

Just because someone is struggling to hit homers doesn't automatically mean they were on something.

 

He played there last year and still slugged .470 or so. He's at .350 this year. That's quite a remarkable drop. I'm not saying he did or he didn't...

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones grounded out to short, 6-3

[CubfaninCA]

watch hill pitch a gem and the cubs still lose.

 

:x

Barrett popped out (foul) to first base

Good to see Woody on the bench.

Still a .545 SLG (1.008 OPS) outside of Petco last season.

 

And does every hitter who's not hitting as well as he should be need to be linked with steroid use?

giles averaged 37 homers from 99 to 2002. then he dropped to 20 in 03, 23 in 04 and 15 last year. he's a nice 2 hitter now...

He'll have to do better with walks. Two in two innings is not a gem by any means. It's tempting fate.

I wonder if his HR's will drop even more this year.

EY has really porked out since leaving the Cubs.

[CubfaninCA]

now hendry can catch hellll for bringing up guzman first instead of hill. :D

[Balsa]

MUCH better inning from Hill. That was perfect. Got ahead of every hitter.

 

That's one of the first promising innings I've seen from Hill.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hill is being very efficient with his pitches, considering he's got 2 walks already. Hope he keeps it up.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Perez flied out to deep right field

[badger1679666666]

That hard it ball will probably earn Neifi a good 2 months of playing time.

[CubfaninCA]

move the fences in for this club!! that was charged!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hill grounded out to second, 4-3
