Ex:

people weren't merely "questioning whether he could get it done at the big league level." that would probably be the kindest thing anyone in those threads said about him.
-
era+ at 972. i think that deserves a :shock:
-
i miss cubsfaninca.

from the AJC...

Months? Are we talking just this year (in which case, this doesn't make sense, nobody uses pre-season in a comparison between players). Or are you including last season? I may be braindead, but I don't even remember Hill doing anything significant last year. All I can recollect is that he was one of many going up and down last year as players came on/off the DL. Am I missing something here? yes.
-
he's certainly far from my favorite player right now, but i wouldn't refer to him as a bum.

4/19 Cubs (Hill) @ Braves (Redman), 6:35, WGN & XM-184

Trust me, abuck reminds those people of their stupidity every chance he gets. that's not true at all. -
see, i can't understand this kind of thinking. zambrano has yet to have a bad year in the majors and people are referring to him as a bum. he's one of the best pitchers in the bigs, maybe not over his last 4 starts, but over the last 4 years. unbelievable. hill's outpitched him for months. it's not even really close.
-
man, some good judging going on in this thread.
-
by far the best pitcher in baseball so far this season. hey, let's do a whole tribute to jake peavy on bbtn...5 1/3 ip, 10 h, 4 er.
-
bump. i think the question now is...rich hill -- better than koufax and carlton or just carlton. debate.

because he's terrible? Look at his splits against Redman. look at me not caring about 20 ab's. -

juan, did you take away the points myers scored for me last night? he's out of my lineup now, but i didn't make the change until after today's lineups were due. so if he appears in the game today (you'd think the phils would be smart enough not to throw him back to back days, but it's charlie manuel we're talking about), you'll need to take his points away from me again.
-
who are you agreeing with? personally, i don't give two craps about clutch hitting, and i only care slightly more about defense.
-
manuel needs to get fired asap. My favorite part is his justification. I suppose that's a true statement. Some might argue that 220 IP out of one of your best pitchers is better than 70 IP, but those people aren't stupid, so Manuel isn't persuaded. wow. how does this guy have a job in baseball at all, let alone a manager's job. that is terrifying.

Felix Hernandez leaves with elbow pain after 1/3 inning
abuck1220 replied to CubmanPi's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Oh I don't think Cubs fans should be throwing rocks around in this particular glass house. After all Rich Hill with all, what, 9 career wins is better than Carlos Zambrano. the difference being that Rich Hill has been better than Carlos Zambrano for half a season now... and Carlos Zambrano is not the best pitcher in baseball Right. You really think anyone outside of a few Cubs fans believe this to be true? it's not really a matter of opinion. hill's been better (by quite a bit) for half a season. -
how bad do izturis and cedeno have to suck before theriot gets a start at ss? juan, can a pick up a guy off waivers to replace myers?
-
i didn't see the whole inning, but if you walk 3 guys in 2/3 of an inning, i'm not buying that you pitched well enough to be unscored on. what did izturis do? man, has that guy been worthless. i knew he'd suck at the plate, but i didn't expect him to be just as bad in the field. He double pumped a routine ground ball, allowing the runner enough time to be safe at first. he's [expletive] terrible.

stop spending big $ on setup men, please

Hey, at least we're paying less than the Phillies will be for Brett Myers. (no, I'm not twisting the knife, abuck!) he'll be back in the rotation in time for the fantasy postseason. :D -
tie game if it wasn't for murton's stupid ass. can i pick a SP up off the waiver wire or my minor league roster?

6-4-3

Now what? didn't go home on a wild pitch. he would have scored standing up. good baserunning by barrett not instinctively heading to 3rd.
