JJ Harding singles to left field. Still one out.

 

Someone's warming up in the Milwaukee pen.

Oh I wasn't referring to the comment about Hill. He's not the Cubs best pitcher.

 

ok.

 

but he is.

Yeah, definitely... aside from the fact that he's not. But whatever, I'm not getting into this.

 

Can you back it up? The stats are against you and I'm interested in hearing why you think someone else has pitched better than Hill so far.

I didn't say that Hill doesn't have the best ERA+ in the first five months of the season, I said he's not the Cubs best starter. There's quite a difference there.

 

i'd love to hear the difference.

What does it matter? Rich Hill is God's gift to baseball as far as you're concerned. Nothing I say is ever going to make you even consider for one second that he might not be the best pitcher in baseball history.

 

I bet if Marquis had the same performance as Hill tonight your tone would be different...

Doubt it. I only defended Marquis so hard because you were completely irrational when slamming him. I don't have any weird love for Marquis or anything, I'm indifferent towards him.

 

Hmmmm and what exactly are you doing?

Suppan makes bunting look easy. :(

[Soul]

Suppan staying in. Smart move by Yost, IMO.

Suppan makes hitting, pitching, fielding, and baseball look easy. :(

FIXED

They are at least gonna keep him for the next out of next inning.

 

Too bad there is absolutely no chance we can hit him at all.

That's because it is.

Jeff Suppan out on a sac bunt, 3-4. JJ Hardy to second base. Two outs.

Thank you.

Okay, yeah, Hill was filthy tonight.

[Keener98]

Great start by Rich tonight.

[Mizzou]

I tried saying I didn't want to get into this once before, but of course the Rich Hill fan club piled on. I'm not going to waste anymore of my time arguing with people who seriously think that Rich Hill is the Cubs best pitcher. Get your heads out of stat books and actually watch some damn games. Stats don't tell you everything.

[abuck1220]

another great outing for the cubs' 12th best pitcher.

[BigSlick]

Nice pitch Hill.

 

If this is his last inning, so be it, he's pitched about as well as I could expect him, and hasn't really caught many breaks

.

[samhainn77]

Nice outing by Hill. Wonder if he can stay in and hit.

Rickie Weeks strikes out looking. Three outs.

 

Rich Hill: 7 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 9 K/0 BB, HBP, 105 pitches (78 strikes).

They tell you a lot more than the faulty and biased human memory does.

 

Anecdotal evidence doesn't stand up against statistical evidence.

[TruffleShuffle]

great effort tonight rich, sorry you'll be below .500 after tonight

[Omar]

... That was bad. I would've booed him too.

 

Bob Uecker.... Seriously?

[CubsBears29]

If Suppan gets Hardy to 2nd, this inning will end at 4-1 at least.

 

There it is.

 

Cubs were unpredictable. Nice change.

[UMFan83]

OK, he said Brewers, someone take him out.

 

 

BTW, I really really really really really really really really really hope that headcase Z doesn't show up tomorrow.

would i get in trouble if i made that my sig? absolutely classic.

[Alfonso Soriano]

... That was bad. I would've booed him too.

 

Bob Uecker.... Seriously?

Almost as pathetic as this team.

Almost

[Soul]

I find it illustrative that our pitchers give up 3 runs and they suck while other teams would call it a solid performance. It's because they know they can work with it and actually win the game, and we can't.
