Harden not looking good brings a lot of injury fears to my mind.

[UMFan83]

So far Harden doesnt seem nearly as sharp as the last 2 games. Although the quality of the competition has gotten better.

He looked horrible against Atlanta and then dominated his next 2 starts.

It's 1 1/3 innings and 31 pitches (so far). He's not going to be completely unhittable every time out.

[UMFan83]

Ugh please just make them swing and miss. These foul balls are killing his PC

[PrimeTime]

Damn fouls..I wish he would throw that 95-98 mph fastball and just blow them away.

[UMFan83]

40 pitches though 1.1+ IP

[ConstableRabbit]

I don't like this whole "our starters have no control" thing

[UMFan83]

I don't like this whole "our starters have no control" thing

 

I guess its harder to challenge good hitters than hitters on the Nationals and Reds

[UMFan83]

3 BB, 45 pitches. This is going to be a really short outing

[TMan92]

Is Rich Hill throwing with his right hand?

[David]

lol if Harden didn't have this start and the one against Atlanta, his K-BB ratio this year would be absolutely unheard of.

 

It's nasty enough as it is.

[David]

Got him.

[Vinestal]

We're screwed we are getting bad Harden today, and we've already started leaving runnners in scoring position.

[BigSlick]

You know what I like? Our 3 best pitchers putting together so-so to bad starts back-to-back-to-back

[UMFan83]

Of his 48 pitches in the first 2 innings, only 3 of them have been swung on and missed.

Game over?

[Choonch]

Good lord. Harden has allowed a single run. Everyone calm down.

[inari]

Good lord. Harden has allowed a single run. Everyone calm down.

 

He does look awful, though.

have you watched the cubs at all this year? jesus

[Little Slide Rooter]

Those late inning rallies are always fun, but seriously, lets jump on this guy early.

[BigSlick]

Lets just be grateful we have a month to work out the kinks in our starters

[UMFan83]

Come on Harden, we need more from you. We gave up Matt Murton for your services!
