ok. but he is. Yeah, definitely... aside from the fact that he's not. But whatever, I'm not getting into this. Can you back it up? The stats are against you and I'm interested in hearing why you think someone else has pitched better than Hill so far. I didn't say that Hill doesn't have the best ERA+ in the first five months of the season, I said he's not the Cubs best starter. There's quite a difference there. i'd love to hear the difference. What does it matter? Rich Hill is God's gift to baseball as far as you're concerned. Nothing I say is ever going to make you even consider for one second that he might not be the best pitcher in baseball history. i'm assuming that means you're admitting you are wrong.
