Rich Hill - LHP

5-5, 3.13 ERA, 95.0 IP, 15 HR, 29 BB, 85 K, 1.06 WHIP

 

Odds of an all-Hill battery again? Well... 50/50, but it's always something fun for Len and Bob to joke around about. :)

 

Major League Reference:

Bats, they are sick. I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid. I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar, rum. He will come. ~ Pedro Cerano

 

Well... I ask that Jobu makes the Milwaukee bats sick... for a long, long time. I have no cigars or rum to offer, but I'm asking real nicely. :)

 

Let's stir up discussion for the next 24 hours! ;)

I hate offdays during winning streaks.

 

When can Dempster be taken off the DL?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Just win, bitches.

He is eligible to be taken off the last day before the break, but the Cubs are just going to wait until after the break to activate him to allow him an extra 5 days to make sure it's healed.

Dempster is not coming back until after the break.

Go Marmol!

Win Cubs. Winning is fun.

[Allroy]

Just win, bitches.

 

This phrase has been working pretty well Vance. Keep it up.

[otis89]

Win again, you pathetic bunch of losers!

[Moonlight Graham]

Throw a gem Hill!

[CubmanPi]

There are plenty of game thread staples that have been working pretty well. (See Southpaw19, Otis, CubbieChris*, A New Era*, and cubscausestress*)

 

* These posters will be along with theirs shortly.

7 in a row would be mighty sweet (and 8...and 9...)

Dear Cubs-

 

This is a talented rookie. There is no reason to phone it in against him. So please dont let him shut you out.

 

Thank You.

This has all the makings of being really huge and awesome, which leads me to believe that it's going to totally suck. I hope not though.

 

Hill, FTW.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

just because i won't be there doesn't give you (the cubs) the right to be sucking losers. JUST WIN!!!!!!

Winning > Losing.

 

Try it.

[C.C.]

It was a nice run, but it ends starting tomorrow. We lose the series 2/3. Hopefully we can make a run @ the WC.

[Omar]

An equivalent of Hill's first start of the year against the Brewers would be nice.

An equivalent of Hill's first start of the year against the Brewers would be nice.

that would be a great tone setter....but i'll just settle for a quality start outta Hill tomorrow

[TruffleShuffle]

let's hope that the AAAA all-star team of Hill and Fontenot can lead the cubs to victory!

Right after A-Rod.

That'll be a sweet lineup!

Our Santana-lead rotation & Gagne bullpen will make it sweeter.
