What is that, 17 straight scoreless for Rich?

[Brian]

[Derwood]

so, Hill's ERA+ was 608 coming into the game. What is it now? :shock:

We certainly need him.

He looks good tonight. Lots of hard hit line drives.

Were yopu watching Z? That's what an ace pitcher does for your team.

hmmm, something like that

The NL Central this year is the worst division in the history of MLB divisional baseball, despite having 6 teams. Do not give up hope on the Cubs until absolutely necessary.

At least he can bunt, I guess.

That's the only reason I still have any hope.

And Ramirez swings at another ball in the dirt. How many times have we seen that.....

If you're talking about Aramis, not that many

 

You must be joking. Aramis swings at just about every breaking ball on 2 strike counts, no matter what the location is.

You can check BB% and BB/K if you would like too.

 

Doesn't matter whether he K's or not, he still will swing at bad 2 strike pitches and if he happens to make contact its usually weak and in the infield. Doubt you have stats for that.

 

I could find them, but something tells me you wouldn't pay attention to them anways if they proved you wrong.

 

Well, something's telling you incorrectly.

 

Hey Einstein, if Aramis siwnings at just about every breaking ball on 2 strike counts, no matter what the location is he would not have the walk totals he does nor the K totals.

 

But keep going with the "gut" observations, it seems to be working well for you.

Rich Hill's updated stats through three starts.

 

3G, 22IP, 8H, 1ER, 1 HR, 5BB, 0.59WHIP, 0.40 ERA

 

Those are some sexy numbers.

[DurbanJer]

He's okay? PLEASE say he's okay...

 

Four fractured vertebrae. He might never walk again.

 

Dude. Don't. Just don't.

 

I always feel it's less likely to happen if I joke about it. I know there's no rational explanation for that, but damned if I'm not gonna keep it up.

 

Nor is there a rational explanation for me reacting to the superstitious thought.

 

But it is the Cubs. And a wise friend of mine once said - "NEVER tempt the gods"

[dew1679666265]

If we get the fourth run, does he stay for the complete game?

This lady had a blood alcohol level higher than Rich Hill's ERA. Rich Hill is amazing.

I think he has 7 walks... 3 this game and 4 last game. Still, he's awesome.
