8/6 Cubs(Hill) @ Astros(Rodriguez) 7:05 P.M. CT CSN

[E.J.]

here's a summary -- our offense isn't good tonight

 

So when is Dunn getting here?

[98navigator]

Are we going to set a club record for # of games against lefty starters? Seems like we are always going up against lefties!!

 

At one point this year the Cubs had faced the fewest LHP in MLB. It still may be true because the numbers were very low early in the season.

Fixed. :lol:

This is one of Hill's best recent outings, no? Definitely more efficient.

I don't think anyone really is blaming Hill.

[Guest]

these game thread reactions are priceless

 

Seriously.

Don't give him so much credit. He's still a Cardinal fan.

[illiniguy]

Damn, that would be the game. Good try guys.

[abuck1220]

saw that coming.

2 outs and the bases loaded, what is it going to hurt for him to take a shot?

[E.J.]

This ballpark is a joke.

as soon as he leaves Cardinal fandom, STL puts up a 10 spot.

Great, now our anemic offense is actually going to have to score 2 runs.

[soccer10k]

Has Hill looked as good as his line suggests he's been?

[Keener98]

lol at Rich bailing on that 1st curve

 

Why even swing the bat? Just take pitches and hopefully you get a walk.

 

Right. The pitcher walked two in the inning, and Hill doesn't have much of a chance of getting a hit anyway.

 

I wasnt demeaning him for it, I just thought it was funny.

you don't think he tried? what are you saying?

[Schwarber Fan]

Anyone wanna call the 1-0 final here?

[Brian]

Home run in 9 consecutive games, I didn't know that was legal.

[inari]

One would like to think we won't be shut out by Wandy Rodriguez.

[TMan92]

We can't even homer in this stupid bandbox. I hate Carlos Lee.
