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

[Brian]

Don't crucify me, because I haven't been following too closely, but why do the Cubs not use Floyd more? It surprises me that he's only had 209 PA.

 

he's been playing a lot recently, and not very well.

Well he breaks easy. He also hasn't had an extra base hit in over a decade.

Because there's a good chance on every stride he takes that one of his legs will just completely fall off.

Mostly because he always has nagging injuries and even when he's healthy all he's good for are singles. He's hitting for no power what-so-ever.

[Flames24Rulz]

Oh for a double play right here.

Yep, and while not hitting for any discernible power, he also ups the ante by playing suspect defense...

[JGalt73]

That's the thing though. He's a lefty and you have to think other teams are stacking the lineup with rightys who are more likely to yank it into the Crawford Boxes.

 

Lefties (Park Factor 138) hit more HR there than RHB (PF 110).

i'm never confident when two players as dumb as cedeno and pagan are converging on a pop fly

[gflore34]

The whole can't add payroll argument is an empty one, to the billionaire(s) who are going to purchase the Cubs, a few extra million is a drop in the buckett.

Maybe their idiocy cancels each other out?

[E.J.]

What is Hill's PC up to?

[jjgman21]

I haven't been following the game closely until now, but everytime I walked past the tv the past couple hours it seems I have seen Wandy getting an inside cutter or low curve being called a strike, or Rich Hill not getting the same exact pitches called the same way.

 

has this been an illusion, or do we have to beat two teams yet again tonight?

[Brian]

What is Hill's PC up to?

 

just threw #100

[aerosmith21]

Come on boys lets get some runs and get back into 1st place!!!

[illiniguy]

Awesome game Rich. Sorry the offense is a joke.

[E.J.]

Nice range. The Cubs better score this inning. Hill definitely deserves a victory.

[Brian]

pitch 101 gets him out of the 7th.

 

runs please.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Please Cobs score a run.

[Schwarber Fan]

100 pitch mark for Hill

 

OFFENSE TIME

[98navigator]

Rich at 100 pitches through 7

[kylescubs23]

After a shaky first inning, I think the umpire has been pretty consistent.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Rich Hill looks like he's going to get his 10th no decision in 22 starts Edited August 7, 2007 by Locke's Eye Scar

[CyHawk_Cub]

Good outing Rich... To bad no offense yet again...

[Alfonso Soriano]

Prediction:

Cedeno=Groundsout

Lee=Hits it to the warning track yet gets out

Aramis=Strikes out looking.
