6/29 Brewers (Gallardo) vs CUBS (Hill), 1:20p, WGN-TV, XM188

[UMFan83]

if rich gives up a run this inning, i say send him to iowa and see what walrond can do

Memo to fans - when Lee hits a ball in the air, it's not going over the fence.

 

Agreed, there is no room for his sub-par ERA and WHIP on the team.

[illiniguy]

and to think some people think Rich is more of an all star than Z.

 

he is.

 

were you saying this back in april when zambrano sucked?

Yes, because one month is just that. Z has what, 70 wins in his career more than Hill? Oh and he is younger to boot. At no point in his career will Rich HIll be a better pitcher than Z. Here in about another month this season won't even be close.

 

guess the second half of last year doesn't count either?

Ok, you guys are right. Rich Hill is better than Carlos Zambrano. Lol. So Rich Hill has what kind of numbers for the second half last year plus this year? Compare them with an average Zambrano year. Oh look another walk.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

time for a beer...

 

i just press reset on this game

[TruffleShuffle]

hit a ball fair or strike out... these foul balls are ridiculous

[abuck1220]

these damn foul balls are killing hill.

 

only one (maybe two) balls have been hit hard off him.

[cubweiser03]

Talk about the wind being taken from your sails.

 

Damn that 1st inning

[Roast]

Deja Vu ?

[Chocolate Milk]

Hill struggling big time here. Who is our long man? Hopefully not Eyre.

[RegulusBlue]

I like to stay very stats oriented these days, and look at the team with the cool demeanor of an accountant going through the financials of a minor client.

 

This is impossible to let go, however. Rich Hill has crapped on our season because he doesn't have his crap together for the first meaningful game we're playing since about three years ago. Now we have to waste the bullpen in the first game, and it just goes downhill from here.

 

Thanks alot, Rich. Nice to see that you can still ruin all your potential by not having control of your emotions. You are weak and unprofessional.

 

 

is this sarcasm? i sure hope so.

 

I'm afraid not. I'm just really pissed that I have had to listen to the [expletive] Brewers fans here in Milwaukee all year, and now we have a chance to get back in this race big time and one of our best pitchers just falls on his face. Every time I think the season might be getting better, this kind of crap happens.

 

If you see a guy on the news for beating the crap out of 150 brewers fans, that will be me.

 

Another walk by Rich. You're doing great buddy.

[CubmanPi]

Hardy walks. Sweeeeeet. ](*,)

were you saying this back in april when zambrano sucked?

 

for crying out loud they both have sucked this year at times. Zambrano earlier, Hill today.

 

and looking at the first half as a whole, hill has been better.

Who cares. He sucks today. Why are you defending him, like always, when he's absolutely killing our chances to win?

Rich Hill has been better than Zambrano for a calendar year.... sort of argues against your idiotic statement that he'll never be a better pitcher than Zambrano at any point in his career.

Theyre hitting fould balls because Rich's stuff just aint that good today.

Commence swinging for the fence at everything, boys.

 

wow

[UMFan83]

Typical Cubs. 1st inning of the first game and the series and season is over.

 

WOW....

Marquis's going Sunday, you think that'll turn out well?

 

i definitely dont think the season is over

Well, if we lose the series, we're 8 1/2 out. If we get swept, that's 10 1/2. I don't see us making up that kind of deficit, unless we catch the spirit of the 2004-05 Astros.

 

Who cares though. At this far back, you shouldn't be worrying about how many games out we are. Just worry about winning every series and get back into it. Chances are if you win 75% of your series the rest of the year you will be in the thick of things.

[Allroy]

We are cursed to watch the same inning over and over. I think the Brewers are actually just that much better than we are. What is thier payroll? We are pathetic.

maybe because some people are able to look at the season as a whole, rather than overreact to one poor outing.

lol wow comedy at its best

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Crimeny people, it's the game thread, let people vent their frustrations with irrational rants.

[BleacherBadger]

Can I get a situation update?

[Handlebar McSkullet]

we need to get to 500 by july 1st or none of this matters.

He's awful today, and it's like you're saying "well no big deal he hasn't been awful every time." I get pissed when the Cubs don't do well, I thought all Cubs fan did too.

Theyre hitting fould balls because Rich's stuff just aint that good today.

 

actually, if his stuff was really bad he'd be getting lined all over the park. Opposing hitters making weak contact and fouling balls back isn't indicative of a pitcher who doesn't have anything.

Now quit with your negativity to his boy Rich. You might hurt his feelings

2 out, Hardy on First, Fielder up
