Go CUBS !!

It's Rich Hill day. I look forward to Hill starts like I used to look forward to Prior starts. It's that indicative of Hill's accendency or Prior's fall, I know not.

[mg420]

murph on the score had an interesting stat from stats inc today. in hill's 1st 5 starts this year he ranked 117th out of 120 compared to the top 4 starters on each team in the majors. the last 5 starts had him ranked #1 out of 120.

probably a little of both.

 

but just think of what could be if prior could get & stay healthy (or at least get it out of his head that he is injured). z, prior & hill would be a really tough 1-2-3 punch.

Remember when this season started we were ecstatic to see Bruce posting the lineups so we could break it down for 3 pages. It must be rough to cover these last 9 names when absolutely nobody is thinking about the Cubs right now.

 

Edit: Nice! Soto with another start, Jock sitting this one out

I for one am glad that Blanco beat out Moore for the 1B job now that Lee is out attending to family matters. Who wants to see some rookie play in September on a team 29 games under 500 when we can enjoy a crafty veteran who has been in the league nearly 10 years and sports a career OPS+ of 64? Tell me, who?!?!

Umm...I think pretty much everybody except Baker, duh!....Oh wait, I still havent caught on to the whole sarcasm thing.

If he has another good start and gets his ERA below 4, that would be a pretty amazing accomplishment considering how he started the year.

[Andy]

The OWNED triplets are back again, eh?

[Balsa]

Be interesting to see how Hill handles the Reds in back-to-back starts.

 

See if he can carry his stuff through after having seen them so recently.

[NorthsideAvenger]

Take your best stuff to the Hill, Rich.

[Jim Ignatowski]

The buildup for this game is amazing. We're already on page 2 of the game thread and it's not the 3rd inning.

[CubColtPacer]

The OWNED triplets are back again, eh?

 

Yeah, it looks like a pick your poison type of thing. You either get Theriot/Blanco/Soto (and sometimes Pagan for Jones), or you get Bynum/Moore/Blanco (and sometimes Pagan for Murton). Which lineup set do people want to see more (because these seem to be the only 2 combinations Dusty wants to send out)

[soccer10k]

I care about two things:

 

1. How well Rich Hill pitches.

 

2. How many strikeouts Adam Dunn gets. He's sitting at 182 for the year (his ML record is 195) with 10 games to go. I have faith in Dunn.

Hopefully Rich Hill can help Dunn out in that department, and everyone will benefit! :D

Uh oh !! Is it raining in Cincinnati ??

 

edit: to answer my own question..... yes, it's raining very lightly, but they're starting to roll up the tarp and expect to start the game on time.

Chicago is about to get drilled by a big storm... glad the game is in Cincy!
