Can I get a situation update?[/

 

Rich Hill sucks today and Cubs are going to lose.

[weis21]

where the F**K is that pitch!?!?!

[Banedon]

Am I looking at this wrong? It says the 2nd inning on Yahoo, but clearly by the posts I'm seeing here, we must be in the 8th or so.

[TruffleShuffle]

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.

 

No you're right, I'm not a real Cubs fan because I'm not losing my mind right now.

The season's over again.

 

5-0 Brewers after 1

Hill still can't miss bats much or get a single quick out and is leaving everythng up.

 

1st and 2nd with 2 outs and Rich at 1,287 pitches through 1.2.

 

At least our thin bullpen will be completely stretched for the series because of this.

Yeah that's what I said.

 

Hill sucks today, and you don't seem to care. Why is that?

70 pitches for Hill and he isn't out of the second.

[98navigator]

these damn foul balls are killing hill.

 

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

 

lol wow comedy at its best

 

It's not comedy. Only Mench and Hall's were hit hard.

Not good.

[Careless]

prince fielder with an infield single that would have been a REALLY easy out if not for the infield shift.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

1. the season is over

2. my life is over

3. the world is ending

4. frank thomas will never make the hof

[E.J.]

Has Rich hit 100 pitches yet?

[TruffleShuffle]

another laser for a base hit by fielder

[Bruno7481]

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

 

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.

 

Some of the balss being fouled straight back against Hill I wouldn't describe as weak contact.

 

Just like Hall just did. Its a sign that the batter just missed it.

What about Braun's lined single?

70 pitches for Hill and he isn't out of the second.

I haven't gotten to listen too closely yet, but this is almost believable... is this a joke??

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Just give him two more batters and he will.

Not a joke at all.

Are you actually watching the game? Honestly.

 

He is either leaving everything over the heart of the plate or missing by 2 feet. His breaking ball hasn't been very sharp and it's the reason they keep getting a bat on it.

That is where the comedy is. Foul balls arent killing RIch they dont count for runs, it might be what hes doing with the pitches that arent fouled that could be the problem

Wouldn't it be funny if we come back to win this series?

[Chocolate Milk]

Pretty funny to watch just about everyone eat their own hair in this thread.
