Did anyone here honestly think Hill should come up and pitch again, even with his numbers in the minors this season? I kept praying he'd be traded, but nooooooooooooo...

[Southpaw191679666239]

Was that 7 pitches?

[Banedon]

Pierre ground out....how repetitive.

ha im not even going to try to type the morons name, i just put that because it looks like hes had a few to many of them

[UMFan83]

8 pitches!!!! We are so hyped up. Normally we'd be out in 5

[Outshined_One]

I love how fast these innings go.

 

Anyone want to take bets on whether Hill accidentally hits some one with his curve?

[CubfaninCA]

Please tell me why we shouldn't have traded this bum Hill when we had the chance? He has been anything but impressive

 

I absolutely despise both of these teams. I seriously cannot understand how a bunch of white trash clowns like the White Sox have a WS ring in the past 97 years and we don't. There's no [expletive] justice in baseball. None.

 

there probably never was a chance.

[E.J.]

Well the fight sure fired up the Cubs' bats... :wall:

[Hornbuckle]

Anyone who doesn't think that AJ running over Barrett was clean is really letting their fandom getting in the way of what they know about baseball.

 

That was as clean as any catcher being run over that I have ever seen.

 

Please. The ball was 10 feet away. Slide around him and touch the plate.

How did AJ know the ball was 10 feet away (which it wasn't)?

 

.

 

Exactly. But I'm the one that's blind.

[Sammy Sofa]

Pierre has found a new infield position to pathetically ground out ot over and over again...impressive.

[Chris]

Wow, just saw the clip :shock:

[JGalt73]

Would there be a better time to fire Dusty than directly after this game?

[CubmanPi]

Am I reading gameday right in seeing that the Cubs were up and down on 6 pitches on their next trip to the plate?!

[Outshined_One]

But...but...but...he leads the league in getting on base due to error!!!!

Was the forearm to Barrett's face clean during the collision? How about slapping the plate? Was that called for? Or how about when AJ went straight towards Barrett instead of going back to the Sox dugout? AJ deserved it.

Don't the Sox lovers have something better to do than hang around a game thread at a Cubs board? Not enough Sox fans that know how to read and write to have your own board?

i think it wasn't what AJ did (running him over), but I think he said something to Barrett when they were face to face.

 

Exactly.

 

In the replays, Barrett is the first one to say anything. He needs to learn to shut his mouth and play. He tries, but the Cubs don't need guys to talk, they need guys to play ball.

 

hahaha you need a tissue?

 

Exactly. This is a mens sport, AJ wants to talk trash? He's gotta man up.

 

Time and time again Barrett has tried to fire up the team by getting in somebody's face. It doesn't work. How bout somebody man up by not walking the bases loaded, and then making a pitch to get somebody out after you do.

[CubmanPi]

When the score was still 0-0, we all knew the Sox had this game in the bag. I just wish more Cubs would have gotten into the fight and lost the game by forfeit due to not enough players remaining on the roster who haven't been ejected.

He can see that the ball wasn't there. And yes, the ball was about 10 feet away when he committed to train-wrecking Barrett and ended up hitting AJ about the same time as the collision.

 

So you're only allowed to run over the catcher when he has the ball in his golve huh? Of course.

 

Here's something. If Barrett, who had a better idea of where the ball was and if he was going to have it in time to get AJ out, knew that he wouldn't have it in time, why didn't he get out of the way and not black the plate? I'm very interested in your answer to that.

How many more starts does Hill need to be eligable for the highest ERA among starters? 9.35 ERA! That is insane. Maybe Hill will figure it out someday but he is not a ML starter.

[Brian]

HILL HAS BEEN FIRED UP!!! (since the grand slam)
