a foul tip in the glove.

thank u

[weis21]

Hill will be pinch hit for in his first AB

[CubmanPi]

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??

 

Not a joke at all.

Dammit. I was afraid you'd say that.

[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.

 

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.

I just hope the Cubs don't let Z walk because they are as sold on Hill as this board is.

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.

 

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.

 

no i'm not watching it, i'm completely ignorant about what is going on

[E.J.]

What's his pitch count up to?

I will appease both... his problem is he wasnt closing hitters out. alot of 2 strike damage.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I want the good Rich Hill back

[CDBears1259]

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

We lost it already?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

29 pitches that inning, unreal

 

Okay, try to get through 5 then.

[cubweiser03]

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

 

i dont have much to eat anymore.

not that ive eaten it before but there is just less to eat, ya know.

[Bruno7481]

All the Cubs have to do is score a couple here early, it gets right back into the game. It is still just the bottom of the 2nd.

[TruffleShuffle]

I just hope the Cubs don't let Z walk because they are as sold on Hill as this board is.

 

If the Cubs listened to this board, Hill would've already been traded a year ago.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Hill's ERA is down to 22.50

You obviously are if you're watching this and think his stuff is good today. It's not and his control is worse.

[transplanted_suburbanite]

We're due for back-to-back jacks

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well, 75 pitches for Hill through 2. He may...just maybe will finish the third. Then our spectacular bullpen takes over.

[illiniguy]

Yeah, but for Adam Dunn. That wouldn't be all bad.

[E.J.]

So, you guys doing anything fun tonight? I'm going to a movie, then some drinking and bowling at the AMC downtown.

[CUBZ99]

Yahoo game channel says its the End of the 2nd inning. Guess they are conceding the Cubs are not going to score.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Alright Fake Rally Time

No, but Starved Rock tomorrow!

[cubweiser03]

[E.J.]

BB pointing out that the Cubs are stupid and don't know how to take pitches against a guy they've never faced before.
