7/12 - Giants (Corriea) @ Cubs (Harden) 12:05, CSN TV

[Keener98]

4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K, 7 GO-0 FO for Rich Hill

 

OMG...somebody ---SOAPDROPPING--- pinch me!

against rookies...

 

 

Who cares, his ability to get hitters out has never been a question. His command is his only concern

[erik316wttn]

Is this not the best season of baseball any of us have witnessed? :mrgreen:

Yes. They are either going to make us all very happy, or crush all of us very hard this year.

 

The team in 84 was the only one in my lifetime that could be close. I think the 69 team was great, we know how that ended.

 

Edmonds would like to tell NSBB to suck it by the way.

 

Did the 69 team maintain this pace this long, or were they already flailing by now?

 

The '69 team tanked about late August, IIRC.

Raisin, what is the plan and timetable on Rich? Are they going to move him back to Iowa first?

After this start he's going to Iowa.

[E.J.]

So 80 pitches today sounds fine.

 

Yep. No need to leave him out there too long.

[SouthSideRyan]

I would let him do whatever he wants with my sister,g/f,anyone he wants

 

I'd be selfish and hog him to myself.

[killthegoat06]

I love everything right now.

Harden. offense, Hill.....zomg!!

Still, he's finding the strike zone :wink:

 

Yeah, I'm very encouraged. Still, I'd feel better if he were doing it at Iowa.

Nonsense. Rich Hill is a major league pitcher if he does not walk people. The only thing holding him back was mechanical or between the ears. Looks like he worked it out.

that's it, cubs are taking over the universe.

 

Holey Moley. If that Rich Hill comes back to the majors, our rotation is going to be freaking sick!

It's already the best in the majors..and we still have marquis

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah nobody cares that rich is pitching against rookies. if he's throwing strikes it doesn't really matter whether he's pitching against little leaguers or AAA hitters, he's going to do well.

[Shilzzz]

Couldn't they just bring Hart in to finish it after this inning? There's no reason with a 7-0 lead to let him go past 5.

And the Mets played out of their minds.

or MLB hitters for that matter.

The best depending on which Lilly shows up.

[Guancous]

It would be great to have good Rich Hill back. Someone with better Photoshop skills than me could make a new promotional poster for The Riche$ on FX.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Vizquel struck out swinging

[Shilzzz]

KKKKKKKKK

[Butterscup1679666578]

I hope we take Rich out after the 6th at the latest.

[rocket]

that pitch was unfair

[Little Slide Rooter]

Hill wasnt sent to Mesa to dominate. he was sent to find the strike zone. The dominance is just a plus.

Id guess he goes 6 and thats it

I think we're talking best in baseball THIS year, not of all time. :wink:

Lewis, pinch hitting for Matos, flied out to right field
