The return of bad Rich?

 

He'd be fine without the errors.

 

It's still taking him a lot of pitches to get guys out, even without the errors.

 

Please come back, Good Rich.

 

He has 50 pitches through three so he should still be able to go 6 innings (possibly more with a little better efficiency).

 

True, and it's nowhere near being a disaster...I mean, it's only 1-0...I don't know, this still just feels like part of the slew of "difficult" starts for him. Probably just the contrast with how effortless he made it look before.

Nice AB for Hill so far. Really making him work.

[98navigator]

He looks like he's afraid of the ball.

[Sammy Sofa]

[weis21]

rich looks like such a slugger at the plate 8-)

 

He thinks he's Barry Bonds at the plate.

 

I've got a new line when rich comes to bat i see

[JimSorgi]

Good AB for Rich! Take a lot of pitches and get a hit.

[inari]

That's a good at bat for anyone, but for a pitcher? Dyanamite!
