4/12 Cubs (Lilly) @ Phillies (Hamels) 6:05 CT WGN

This is... no. Wrong.

Okay, correct me.

 

If a player outperforms his capability, it's far more likely he'll return to his average than suddenly become terrible to even it out. And seriously, it's three starts.

Well, this is an unlikely parade of crap, then. I don't care if it's only been three starts. If you're the #2 pitcher for a presumed division champion, it's unacceptable to fail to complete five innings in three successive starts. At least that's what I think. I might be wrong. Maybe if he failed to complete six innings, that'd be one thing, but to not yet escape the fifth?

 

so, if he is backed up a start so that he can be slotted in behind dempster would you be ok with it? then he'd be the "#3" starter

Gahhh jeeesuusss

 

I don't like losing.

 

You should be used to it, being a Cubs fan.

I'm used to walking down the street and seeing hot women wearing clothes. Doesn't mean I like it.

 

 

??? :rotfl:

What the hell is with the random cheering?

This only means he'll have like three shutouts later in the year. Progression to the mean, folks.

Someone's probably getting ejected or something.

Hamels is at 86 pitches. He's got two solid innings in him if the cubs work him a lil bit.

 

Which means he has about 5 innings left.

 

you see, this is where teams got smart against our young pitchers about 4 years back.. they just stretched them out. i swear managers told their players to try to foul as many pitches off in a row as they could--it was probably a game within a game.

Yeah it really seemed to be the thing to do against Wood.

[Roast]

Allright - RUNS PLEASE

[UK1679666180]

I only seen his first start but he changed his style of pitching, he threw more changeups than breaking balls and didn't elevate his FB up to change the eye of the hitter, he stayed low with everything. I did see the HR to Feliz and that's really the only pitch he can hit.

What the hell is with the random cheering?

maybe the hockey game?

[Vanilla Ice]

at least i didn't start the shortest game thread of the year

[UMFan83]

What the hell is with the random cheering?

 

CT just got ejected.

[TruffleShuffle]

somebody just do something please

[illiniguy]

Thanks for playing tonight Aramis.

[Omar]

Ramirez can learn something from Fukudome - Don't swing at crap.

[Vanilla Ice]

Thanks for playing tonight Aramis.

that was pitiful

[Vanilla Ice]

here comes the change up

[big_shooter17]

well, i guess that we have 2 innings to score 5 runs off of whoever else comes in to pitch.

[TruffleShuffle]

someone have rich hill sit down with hamels and learn the change up

[chuckywang]

Christ ... we're gonna get 1 hit.

[JimSorgi]

I think ESPN's a little confused. On their scoreboard online, they just said Alex Rios got a hit off of Roy Halladay. And Cole Hamels was pitching to himself.

[Yanksfan1523]

This is ugly. FTH, what is wrong with Lilly?

[JimSorgi]

regression to the mean, dude

Hart struck Howard out about 4 times there. But he was allowed to take 1st base.
