Monday's Starter????

[andrew9991]

Has anyone heard anything yet about who the Cubs might start tomorrow??? I'm still hoping we get to see Rich Hill get a shot but who knows.

My guess is Rusch.

My guess is Rusch.

 

Baker just used him in the 10th inning.

Pat & Ron said that Hilll was a good possibility.

 

Would have to DL Wood, or send some one done. Mitre could be sent down and Hill could stay and pitch for Wood or go to the pen (hopefully not) or they could send him down and bring up Welley after the start (or Williamson if he's ready).

I hope it's Hill cos I'd like to see him in an extended MLB appearance.

Des Monies Register reports Hill has been recalled and will start.

Woo hoo!

 

His struggled with his control in his last start at Iowa. He couldn't get the curve over the plate. Hopefully that was a random occurence. It certainly has been the only occurrence of that magnitude this year.

 

His last appearace on the Cubs was tremendous. That's what I'm looking for tomorrow! :lol:

Good to hear Hill is getting the start on Monday. I'd like to see Mitre sent down if Wood isn't put on the DL. Mitre needs to get innings as a starter. It's pretty obvious that his sinker doesn't work very well coming out of the bullpen.

Thats the problem.. He is a good starter because it takes an inning or so for his sinker to sink in. I think Mitre should be starting or he has no point being apart of this team.

Exactly. He has no shot of being a good reliever when he depends so much on that sinker of his. I see him as being trade bait more than being in the future of this organization.

I totally agree. I have maintained that if there is going to be a significant trade, Mitre's going to be part of it. I like Sergio, but I like both Williams and Hill more.

It's also on Cubs.com that Hill is starting.

Fairly certain they misspoke, but ESPN radio read off Mitre as today's starter ~an hr ago.
