4/6 Cubs (Hill) @ Brewers (Bush) 7:05CST WGN / XM188

[TruffleShuffle]

if they opened the roof, half the folks would probably walk out... this weather sucks

[texascub]

First sub-100 pitch CG in how many years?

I recall Lieber firing a one-hitter on 91 pitches in 2001.

 

Wasn't that the one that had a rain delay in it?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Wow...Rich Hill is good.

 

I think I might make him the focus of my next fantasy tip article.

 

I think the cat is out of the bag on him...I might be wrong though.

 

He's only owned in 73% of fantasy leagues. I think he may be left out there in a few leagues.

It's out of the bag with Cubs fans and probably some fans of teams in the NL Central. But I would say the cat's still in the bag when you're talking about the majority of the country. Like I said in the poll about him being on your fantasy team, he went undrafted in my editor's fantasy league that has a bunch of Giants and A's fans.

Unfortunately I'm only in 2 leagues right now, and both are with NSBB people so he's not out there.

[TruffleShuffle]

Bush settled down big time.

 

yeah, i still think he'll have a strong year. Glad we were able to get to him early.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Man, Bush has nasty stuff. Glad he didn't have anything in the first inning.

I thought Maddux pitched a CG a year or two ago with <90 pitches......I could be wrong though

[E.J.]

Bush has looked good since the 1st inning. Good thing we got to him early.

[Andy]

Nice hustle DeRosa...

[Mark_R]

Best fantasy blunders: forgetting to sit Mark DeRosa against a tough pitcher I was using this evening and forgetting to put Dave Bush in to pitch tonight.

 

Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don't make :D

Hill has looked even better though.

[Shilzzz]

does it seem to anyone else that they lost their patience after spring training was over?

I would guess Maddux had one.

 

Yep, after looking it up, he had a 92 pitch CG on July 22, 2004.

rich hill says he only needs one run... six was overkill 8-)

Unfortunately for me, I started Bush. I also started Hill on the same team, so that should help mitigate things.

diabetes commercials are only cool when wilfred brimley is in them

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Bush at 85 pitches.

[Andy]

Good lord, Hill's curve is pretty to watch

Mitre pulled a 99-pitch CG job on June 14, 2005 vs. Florida.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Wow...Hall a bit tardy on that fastball.

[PrimeTime]

another K, thats 5

[Andy]

KKKKK!

[texascub]

The opposing team agrees...they prefer to watch them instead of swinging at them.

 

5K's for Hill tonight!
