Even if he were able to work a walk, Rich was on deck. At least then Rich wouldn't start the 3rd. he'll probably be knocked out of the game this inning
-
rich better not give up another run, or this one's over
-
not so fun fact.... out of the 99 pitchers that have thrown 80 innings this year, all but 5 have better run support than Rich Hill.
-
Give me an effing break. His ERA+ is 126 his ERA is one hundred twenty six? Jeez, send him down to Iowa.
-
i know.... why start a pitcher when the offense isn't going to score any runs for him?
-
yeah those aces tend to come cheap at the trade deadline
-
he doesn't have it... get petrick up
-
i see the cubs are prepared to give rich hill his usual 0 to 2 runs of support.

I don't think I'd wake up at an ungodly hour to watch the Cubs play the Nationals. Did you see my post earlier in the thread? I would have had to wake up by 10 a.m. anyway so I just figured I would wake up an hour early. fair enough.

According to BP's raw playoff odds, the Cubs have a 24.8% shot at the division, and 18.6% chance at the WC (43.4% chance at the playoffs). The ELO-adjusted odds give the Cubs only a 23.4% chance at the playoffs, while the PECOTA-adjusted odds give a 45% chance. I'd give the Cubs a 1 in 3 shot at this point.

15th homer last night; he's 8th in the league with 8.48 RC/27. And he's now #1 among all A's players with a 20.4 VORP. Not bad for a guy who spent the first month of the season in the Padres' minor league system.
-
c'mon rich... close out the first half with a big start today
-
we got a good month out of him at the minor league level; that's already better than we'd have from Bynum.
-
tell lance barksdale that the check is on the way to the umpires' hotel
-
Meche's BB/9 rate has dropped pretty sharply from the last two years, but his ERA+ should still be worse than it is.

when i become MLB commissioner, i'm appointing a league central office to review all close calls. That play gets reviewed by the central office, lee is declared out, and the game is over. As things are now, I'd just uphold the Phillies' protest of the game and give them the win. After all, it's not a case of "well the game might have played out differently after that point." If the correct call is made at first, the Phillies win right there. The Phillies can't protest the game. You can't protest a judgement call. well that sucks. It's not a judgment call, it's a wrong call.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-3-2007
TruffleShuffle replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
cedeno isn't going to get called up, but it sure is fun to bitch about it in every minor league thread :lol: -
horrendous... carlos lee grounds into a game-ending double play, guy looked out at first at full motion, harry kalas says "are you kidding me?" when the safe call comes from the first base ump. Lee was out by half a step and the ump completely blows the call. Count on absolutely no punishment for the ump, and no reversal by the commish office. MLB sucks.
-
if one-pitch rich lays his usual egg, i'm not sure i'll be able to start the next game thread until late tomorrow night, owing to fourth of july festivities/drunkenness
-
winning is good clean fun
-
can we have marmol back?
-
ohhh mannnn
