At 100 through 8. If he doesn't get in a lot of trouble, knowing Dusty he'll be allowed 20 pitches in the 9th

[CoolHandLuke]

Kinda ironic that Hill(michigan alum) is throwing a gem on the

same day Michigan is pummeling ND.

 

The reds starter went to ND too.

Brilliant!

I think it'd be great for him to get a CG shutout, being a rookie that really struggled when he entered the league.

 

I'd have someone warming up in the bullpen though, in case it looked like he'd need more than 15 pitches.

Bray in to pitch for Cincinnati

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones homered to right field

[Balsa]

J-J-J-J-J-JONES!!!

[RichHillIsABeast]

Nice work, Jones.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blanco struck out swinging

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno blooped a single to center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto flied out to right field

[ToupeeOnFire]

Hill hitting for himself. He'll get his chance.

[UMFan83]

Not that its huge news, but Rich Hill hitting for himself. I repeat, we have a chance for a CG!!!

[Brian]

Has a Cubs starter even pitched in the 9th at all and got pulled or is this uncharted territory?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 55-4 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!
