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

[soapy]

haha...holy foul balls

[Handlebar McSkullet]

screw you fatty... call the game the same both ways.

 

You got that right..........total BS. if he gives Hill that same strike zone in the first--it is probably 0-0. It just happens over and over again with froemming........honestly--what a joke. Hmmmmmmmm, a milwaukee native and always seems to screw the cubs--duhhhhhhh

 

froeming didnt give hill the low outside corner on his atbats to hart and hardy.

 

with that said. hill has been bad.

[Bruno7481]

I'm not trying to rag on Rich, but when a team is fouling this many pitches off it is a sign that you have absolutely nothing.

 

When he doesn't have his curve, its glorified batting practice for the opposing team.

[E.J.]

The Cubs better not pull this crap tomorrow when I'm in attendance. Bastards.

[Mizzou]

it's not hill's fault that it's his first full year in the majors. sorry he's been awesome nearly 100% of the time since he's been made a starter. i guess the guy in your sig sucks too b/c he's never been good in the majors.

Hahahaha. On a board full of hyperbole, this might honestly be the most far fetched and dumbest thing I've ever seen on here.

Felix Hernandez is 20 years old. He takes dumps with more talent than Rich Hill.

 

good for his dumps. too bad he hasn't thrown any baseballs with more talent than rich hill yet.

[soapy]

quick, somebody bump the derosa thread and make all his supporters eat crow!!! accountability!!!

 

 

i'm kidding.

That has to be a fluke. If he's really that bad, then they're going to be hit hard, and/or at least into play. Figures that something outrageously unlucky like this would screw up our pen's rest for the whole series.

[weis21]

Well at least the whole team sucks today

97 ERA+ the last two years... that's amazing, call cooperstown and reserve a spot right now

[E.J.]

Way to take your time Aram.

that's just flat not true. if he had nothing, they'd be hitting the balls all over the field...which they're not doing.

 

take your sweet time, aramis.

Oh yeah I would much rather have Rich Hill than Felix. I really wish Rich Hill was close to the pitcher you think he is.

since hill has been made a consistent starter since last season he hasn't been good?

[Handlebar McSkullet]

rich hill is still talented and good.

the season isnt over.

sorry, i thought you valued pitchers on whether they had completed a full year of good pitching.

He sure as hell wasn't good today, which was the biggest start of the year. So I guess 100% awesome would be a bit off.

[hawkeyecub]

As bad as Rich has pitched today, he hasn't gotten help from his defense. Although I think much of that is due to the fact that they're standing for 5 minutes between having balls put in play.

Almost everyone would take Hernandez over Hill, but Hill has been much better than Hernandez over the past year. Your arguments suck.

take your sweet time, aramis.

 

And if he had something, they would be missing more pitches. You can't tell me the high rate of foul balls has nothing to do with the lack of stuff/command he has today.

[cubweiser03]

hill was hitting 92-93 earlier.

last pitch fb was 85.

i guess 90+ in 3 innings will do that to your arm

[soapy]

92 pitches

[98navigator]

rich hill is still talented and good.

the season isnt over.

[E.J.]

Well, Hill is pretty much done for the day. Nice outing. Way to step up.

I do, but I also defer to age. When you haven't had a good year at 20, it's because you are young and getting established. When you haven't had one at age 28 it's because you couldn't beat out Glendon Rusch to get a big league spot.
