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

[abuck1220]

geez, have every one of their hits come on 0-2 pitches? you'd think michael barrett was back there calling pitches...

 

I think it's the right call, but Hill is leaving the curve up and hanging it. If he could bury it in the lower part he'd get the K.

 

yeah, i was joking...hill looks terrible today.

Don Sutton is saying he is tipping his curveball.

 

good thing the cubs have a pitching coach that's all over that.

[Iceblink]

Come on 2-out rally.

[CubmanPi]

One good thing about this run is, any time the Cubs have been anywhere in the neighborhood, they pull out a win, and when they lose, they make it count. No more heartbreakers, just thrillers and complete suckfests.

[UMFan83]

Come on 2-out rally.

 

The return of the fake rally??!?!!

Yeah, it would seem our guy should be able to find it. Hill is holding his glove almost to his face on the curve, but on everything else he is even with the chicago.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

If Hill and/or Marshall continue to struggle, what sort of options do we have in AAA and AA?

 

None. And Hill should have a pretty long leash, seeing as he's *still* the Cubs second best pitcher this season.

 

Rich Hill's ERA is now 3.84. Ted Lilly's is 3.84 as well but has been a bit more consistant. I'd say Hill is our 4th best pitcher behind Z, Lilly, Marquis

 

That's a good point. Our biggest issue is we have no one to replace him if we were to use him as a trading chip.

hill's losing the BIGGEST GAME OF THE SEASON...OMGOMGOGMGOGM!

Hah, why am I not surprised that suddenly made an appearance? And that it's no big deal that Hill sucks. Again.

Cause abuck is dusty to Rich Hill's Shawn Estes. Lol.

 

and people wonder why abuck gloated last year when hill pitched so well in august and september...

Christ I was just messing with him, he is obviously tipping his pitches. Hell even the opposing announcer was making a big deal out of it.

 

hey make all the attacks you want, but make sure you show up and take your medicine when rich turns it around.

and it's no big surprise that hill's biggest critics are reveling in the poor start, and ridiculing those who think he's a good pitcher.

I'm not ridiculing anyone, and I certainly don't revel when a Cubs pitcher has a bad start.

 

Oh please:

 

Anyone wanna defend Hill on that one?

Don't worry, Truffle will find a way.

I hope he does.

I have no cap nearby, so I'm putting a rally couch pillow on my head.

 

 

This post is useless without pics.

It looks a lot like that, except I'm not Asian or female, and the pillow isn't a soccer ball, and it's in a living room. Otherwise, spot on.

Funny that he calls out abuck for showing up when he himself just shows up to revel in Hill's outing and shove it in people's faces.

So is giving up 6 runs to Washington part of my roll?

[TruffleShuffle]

while rich pitched like crap, it'd be really nice if the cubs would actually score some runs for him, so that every mistake he makes and every run he gives up isn't the end of the world. Their offensive support of him has been a complete joke since the first three weeks of the season.

Yeah, but he is a cub. He should expect that. Ask Kerry Wood, it happens.

Rich Hill.. The Nationals.

 

THE NATIONALS.

run support doesn't change the meatball to Young.
