4/10 Cubs (Hill) at Pirates (Morris), 6:05 PM CT, WGN

[Flames24Rulz]

I guess Hill not only can't throw strikes but he can't run either. Great job, OPR.

[Roast]

And Pie looks at strike three. Super!

Eh, that was a really good pitch.

Pirates tie the ML record with 2 sac flies in an inning...

 

heh, i never thought about that. that's funny.

 

Would it still be a sac fly if an outfielder dropped a fly ball, but the runner from 3rd still scored? Seems like it would.

No, that would be reaching on an error, no RBI, I assume.

 

Geovany Soto.

 

That doesn't make any sense. So the fielder makes a mistake, and the hitter is penalized? I know that usually if a run is scored in the case of an error, no rbi is recorded, but in this case the run would be scored, regardless of the error.

I would guess you can't assume the sac fly, just like you can't assume a DP even if Theriot flings one over Lee's head trying to double up Carlos Lee. No matter how obvious it is, you can't score it that way.

 

And Morris throws the best pitch of his life (never seen him throw a curve like that) followed by Sanchez making a ridiculous backhanded play. That's my Cubs.

[JoshiQ]

Hey, Hill, if you aren't going to use your energy pitching you might as well use it running.

[WilcoFan]

I'm very worried that Piniella may pull Hill out of the rotation instead of Dempster or Marquis.

 

 

Yeah I know. Who wants 7 innings of 1-hit baseball when you could get 1 inning of walks?

 

sample size?

 

 

Pulling any of them would be stupid. But even mentioning that Dempster should even be in the discussion, at this moment, regarding pulling pitchers is beyond stupid.

[wekse]

Jesus Christ! No luck for Rich at all tonight.

 

maybe if he would have ran out of the box he might have found some luck.

[98navigator]

Oh Jeeze, that play by Sanchez was disgusting. I'm confident the Cubs will get to Morris but Rich has to pitch better...

Because no bad pitcher ever had two good games?

I guess Hill not only can't throw strikes but he can't run either. Great job, OPR.

That's cause he's a terrible athlete.

[CoolHandLuke]

Holy crap, two straight strikes.

I don't think anyones getting pulled right now. I can't see Lou going with Liebs over anyone, but I'm a firm believer in not letting 2 starts have a significant influence in how I value a pitcher.

[Post Count Padder]

The pitch before was a K.

No, you're right. Pull Dempster. Jerk had the audacity to pitch two of the 3 best games the Cubs pitchers have had this season. Get out of the rotation!

[bhogg]

the ump is giving up on Rich's curve.

[Mizzou]

They just showed the replay of Hill's at bat on the Pittsburgh broadcast. Rich straight stood at the plate for a second after he hit the ball, then jogged to first. That's pathetic, I hope Lou noticed it.

Come on Rich, get your head out of your ass. The season's started bud.

[Post Count Padder]

That was a strike

I think you were an inning late.

Nice inning for rich.

[Post Count Padder]

[98navigator]

Great bounce back inning for Rich.
