Trachsel and Wuertz warming up.

 

If Trachsel comes in, Lou has conceded the game.

[E.J.]

Steve Trachsel warming up. Please figure it out Rich. I don't want to see Trachsel.

[Bruno7481]

Get someone up. And now FINALLY Lou is out there to settle him down.

 

Rich: These guys are the freakin Pirates. I'm sure you faced better teams in High School.

 

:roll:

 

Yep..

[CubmanPi]

About damn time. What a crappy inning.

[SouthSideRyan]

Are the people criticizing Rich's outing following on gameday? The Pirates legitamately have hit the ball hard once. Edited September 22, 2007 by SouthSideRyan

I think the same could be said for him leaving Rich Hill in.

[erik316wttn]

God damn you, Rich for giving up the lead.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Big curve for the K!

 

Now, let's batter Duke a bit.

WTF is going on with One Pitch today?

[UMFan83]

Cubs starting pitchers crapping the bed down the stretch. Hill has been awful in his last 3-4 starts, Z we all know about and Marquis last start was terrible, albeit more understandable with the conditions

If this was happening to Jason Marquis absolutely everyone would be ripping him a new one. Rich Hill doesn't get special treatment because he has a fan club.

The Pirates are getting nothing but dink and dunk hits, but Rich gave up a 2-RBI single to the pitcher. Not good.

A bunch of broken bats and flare hits dropping for hits, with a Zach Duke line drive two-run single.

[Flames24Rulz]

As soon as our offense begins to actually hit the ball, our starting pitching goes to crap. Now's not the time to being do this, guys.

[BigSlick]

That is my favorite way to call a third strike.

 

If I were an ump, thats the way I'd do it.

[Bruno7481]

The first few singles and the bloop were bad luck.

 

But you can 't allow a pitcher, especially a lefthanded hitter to absolutely lace one down the line.

 

Thats my only gripe with the last inning.

[erik316wttn]

Now watch us go 1-2-3 this inning.

Yeah, or not. I've said the same things about Marquis when he's been getting dinked and dunked to death. Rich looks fine out there. You want to bring out the pen for 8 innings because a couple pop ups dropped in. Then you can be happy cause you can complain about this loser team choking down the stretch.

[Mizzou]

I give Rich crap all the time, and it's always warranted too. But today he's been pretty effective, up until giving up the 2 run single to the pitcher. I'm not going to fault him for giving up bloop singles.

No that certainly wasn't, but I'm not gonna call for his head because of one AB.
