4/28 Cobs (Zambrano) @ Diamondbacks (Petit) 8:40 CT, WGNTV

[Andy]

Koyie freaking Hill. Dear lord.

[Fred Hornkohl]

K. Hill singled to left field , Hoffpauir scored, Bradley to second

[Tryptamine]

Koyie Hill is a stud. I can't believe this is the same guy who played for the Cubs the last few years.

[E.J.]

Koyie Hill

[Cubswin11]

I think Soto might be sitting a few extra days in the coming weeks until he shows he can start hitting again

[BCVM22]

Watch out Geo :-))

[UMFan83]

It figures, a season's worth of hits with RISP in one game. Now our overall average will look good despite being absolutely horrible at it 18/19 games this year.

I would've check swung like I do to almost every pitch in that game.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Great to see Hill having a good night. Picking him up last year was just a shrewd move, first round picks with his age and MiLB performance deserve more than 132 MLB PA's before coming scrap heap fodder like was.

[Fred Hornkohl]

St. Louis      1
Atlanta        2  F

Houston        8

I think that's how most teams get to their RISP numbers. Most teams will have games where they go 6-8, 10-13 w/risp and then they will have the games where they go 0-5, 2-9 and then it averages out to mid/high .200's/low .300's. It's an average so most teams aren't consistently hitting .270-.320 they are having games under .150 and then they will have games over .600 in the end it averages out but for the most part teams aren't actually hitting at their RISP average in a game by game basis.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Tracy flied out to left field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Reynolds grounded out to first, 3-1

[thefranchise]

Put Gathright in for Bradley? This game is pretty much over.

It's the kind of move the Cardinals would make and we would bitch about when Koyie did what he's doing. Hendry can be smart once in a while.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-6 when they wear their pinstripes / road grays.... 5-3 when they wear alternate blues

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Cubswin11]

Put Gathright in for Bradley? This game is pretty much over.

I think he gets 1 more ab then comes out

Well that's how averages work. But I'm guessing (with no statistical evidence), that most teams have less of a deviation from game to game than the Cubs have had this year.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jackson walked

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-3 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 8-6 when they don't :scratch:

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Tryptamine]

Better be careful Z, if you take to much longer you might not get to hit next inning. :P
