7/4 CUBS (Hill) vs. Nats (Chico), 11:05am CT, WGN-TV, XM 183

[TruffleShuffle]

We may need an ace at the deadline more than a big bat.

 

yeah those aces tend to come cheap at the trade deadline

[98navigator]

LOL, I don't think the game ends 1-0 Nats

[killthegoat06]

Come on cubs...let's wake up!

[TruffleShuffle]

Why is Rich Hill still a starting pitcher again? no wins in his last 10 starts?

 

i know.... why start a pitcher when the offense isn't going to score any runs for him?

[C.C.]

Rich Hill isn't fooling anyone lately. Hopefully he can settle in and pitch a good game.

[anabiono]

Not so fun fact: Rich Hill has allowed more home runs (17) than doubles (13) this year.

 

oh god...the thing that is even more not so fun is that it is not really at all shocking...

Because THE SEASON IS ALREADY OVER!

 

Who cares what they do!

The way he's pitching, Rich allows more than 1 run,

Uh, first off, Hill has had several great starts that only didn't become wins because the Cubs didn't score any for him either, and 2) His last win was only 5 starts ago, not 10.

Right, 9-0 Nats after Hill gives up to grand slams in one inning.

Thank you Dmitri! Let's get him home!

It's not like the Cubs don't have an ace in Z.

 

They're offense hasn't been great even during the winning.

Give me an effing break. His ERA+ is 126

Because he was helping to carry he team earlier in the year

The error wasn't on Young?

You beat me too it. I'd be surpised if he gets past 5 innings today.

COBS WORST TEAM EVER. AAAA RICH

[Chocolate Milk]

I don't think Rich throws a single pitch that doesn't get hit for a homerun for the rest of the season.

Rich needs to hit HRs. Duh.

DeRo singles to CF

Come on Pagan/Fontenot/Bowen!

[inari]

Rich will obviously be fine, but he needs to snap out of this funk sooner rather than later.

Not awesome, but 5.36 runs per game over the last 11 since Aramis came back.
