That's what I thought as well....2 different curveballs, occasionally dropping down, and varied fastball speeds. I think his biggest problem is location - seems like alot of curveballs have hung over the heart of the plate lately. Both of you are exactly right. He doesn't have the stuff that, say, Z has to get away with poor command and location. It's odd that the league is apparently figuring Rich Hill out when the Atlanta Braves had 3 chances to figure him out and have failed miserably. His last few starts aren't as doom and gloom as some of you make it out to be. I as well am in this line of thinking. I don't buy the pitch tipping but I do with location. If he does not have pinpoint control with that curve thats when balls start leaving the yard. His opponents average is a meager 2.27, good for 11th in MLB. A .405 slugging against him is good for 47th in the league powered by 18 homers given up, 5th worst. When he is throwing that curve over the middle of the plate far too often it is lifted out. With a 8.31 k/9 already along with a 1.14 WHIP if this man can start throwing a 3rd pitch effectively he could easily become lights out. If things go well that 3rd pitch (as long as you're not counting the different curves) will allow him to terrorize the NL along with big Z and we all will be happy campers. Lets hope that Hill and Rothschild get this figured out because we will need good Hill badly for the 2nd half of the season, especially if bad Marquis shows up and Marshall's numbers even out.
