Izzy blew his 10th for the Cardinals today :D Hasn't Dempster blown 9?? In a lot fewer chances probably.

Rich Hill 4 strikeouts through 2 innings. Rich Hill looks very confident tonite, he's got his stuff. It will be another dominate outing by R Hill.

[CubColtPacer]

Did our first two hitters really just take the first 5 pitches of each at-bat?

 

17 pitch inning - just a little better than the league average I believe.

 

5.4 P/PA-I believe that crushes the league average. We were very patient that inning-when the hits come, we'll be able to push Duke out of the game early if that can somehow even come close to continuing.

[A New Era]

How come when Rich Hill pitches there's hardly anyone here? He's probably our #1 pitching prospect for next year. I.E.: he's the one most likely to contribute next year. .

[YearofDaCubs]

WOW

[A New Era]

WOW

 

What? The 6 strikeouts in 3 innings?

Keep watching my friend. God he's really the only 1 I enjoy watching right now.

I think if Hill doesn't blow up in the next couple of weeks (which I don't think he will do) he is the only one of the youngsters who has completely secured a rotation spot for next year. I think there should probably be 1 other spot available as an open competition between Guzman and Marshall (with Marmol and Mateo being sent down for more seasoning). Great work Hill for proving a great number of us wrong by turning the corner!

[Brian]

milestone - Hill's season ERA down to 5.00, quite an accomplishment with how he started the year.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Go Rich!

 

Fred, when are you getting into the LA metro area? And when will you find out where you next from Rancho?

[Mark Priors Calves]

7 k's through 3.1 innings.

[Brian]

8K !

[Soriano12]

You are correct sir!How about that - NL average about 3.75 P/PA. Cubs at about 3.68.

10ks, carreer high for rich hill. He'll get a few more.

[Brian]

HILL~!

[chuckywang]

Is Hill our ace now?

[ToupeeOnFire]

Santo is saying that Hill is consistently around 92-93 MPH on his fastball. Is that true from those of you watching?

90-92 from what i've seen with a few 88 & 89 mixed in.

[Butterscup1679666578]

No hitter for Sanchez! Congrats kid!

 

 

How awesome would it be to be a Marlins fan?

I tuned in just to hear the last out.

 

4th no-hitter in Marlin history. I hate the Marlins.
