    another great outing for the cubs' 12th best pitcher.

    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.

    again with the threats?

    haha damn stats i know, they always ruin a good, tear-filled game thread temper tantrum. Sorry for getting worked up during a Cubs game. It my come as surprise to you, but not everyone just sits there and lifelessly watches a game like you apparently do. I get happy as a kid on Christmas and incredibly pissed too while watching a game. so you get a free pass to post things that are completely wrong? and then get mad when people correct you?

    lol, this game thread has gone far beyond an emotional outlet. i honestly think tears have been shed.

    OMG RICH HILL SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    wow come on man. Its not like it matters when your offense cant score He's now given up 3 runs in less than 5 innings and we're already blaming the offense? 3 runs in 5 innings is garbage. Yea and our pathetic ass offense cant score 1 in 5 innings So you are blaming the offense that we're losing? One Pitch is the reason we're down right now. And if the moron knew how to bunt, we'd at least have one run right now. my goodness, you are acting like a complete baby. hill 123 era + lilly 117 era + zambrano 114 era + marshall 112 era + marquis 106 era + take a deep breath, change your diaper, and think about what you've posted.
  15. abuck1220
    how dare he be the best pitcher on the team? just dropped in to see if this would, in fact, be the worst game thread ever. it is.
  16. abuck1220
    i swear, every mistake hill makes comes back to haunt him. bobbles hardy's infield grounder = run. hits weeks 0-2 = 2 runs.
  17. abuck1220
    good to see the whining about the cardinals is back. pathetic really.
  18. abuck1220
    it's just one of those old baseball sayings that people continue to repeat even though no evidence supports it...at least that i'm aware of.
  19. abuck1220
    why?
  20. abuck1220
    the original story made it seem like he was provoked by the reporter, but the audio tells a different story. myers just flipped out.
  21. abuck1220
    Which makes it the right call. Lou trusted his best contact hitter to simply make contact anywhere on the field.....and he didn't. He trusted one of his better judges of the strikezone to not strikeout...and he did. But we're still not factoring in the odds that he hits a liner or a soft flyball that turns into two or even three outs... which squarely place the move back in "wrong" category. the chances of him hitting an infield ground ball are still higher. if he hadn't started the runners and had grounded into a dp, i think a lot of people would have a different opinion on that decision.
  22. abuck1220
    did you see the replays? they really did not look like they were hit hard at all.
  23. abuck1220
    if the cubs can waste $2.5 mil on blanco and the like, they can waste a few million on prior. same goes with wood.

    wow, you couldn't be more wrong. if kendall had hit seven infield groundballs on the season, you'd be right. as it is, however, you're very, very wrong with your math. Perhaps you're right, I wasn't paying attention to what he does with runners on (a requisite for a DP). Kendall strikes out in approximately 9.3% of his at bats. With runners on base, Kendall had seven GIDP in 150 AB... or about 4.6% of his at bats. Ok... so he was only TWICE as likely to strikeout as ground into a double play. Still not exactly a fantastic ratio for Lou. you're still wrong. you're counting all of his ab's when you're looking at strikeouts. plus, the runners on base thing is inaccurate because there will be times when there's a runner on base where a dp wouldn't be possible. the best thing (i guess) to look at would be how many times he grounds into a dp with a runner on first vs. how many times he k's with a runner on first or what % of time he k's vs. what % of times he gidp when a dp is in order. sending the runners was the right move, in my opinion. kendall had a dreadful ab all around, and that's why they didn't score that inning.
