heh...welly in now. boy, i'd love to hear hendry get interviewed after this one.
-
the marlins don't have much else to play for...they may as well aim to embarrass the cubs.
-
pinto in. mow em down, renyel.
-
gah...i was really hoping for a shutout. i would have loved to hear hendry's response to that.
-
does anybody actually think the reds would have done that trade? come on...i'm hill's biggest fan (by a comfortable margin), and i'd have traded three rich hills for adam dunn. hendry's actually done a lot of stupid stuff...we don't need to start making up stupid things he's done.
-
and contract part.
-
i'd say that this game sums up the cubs' season nicely.
-
yeah, surprisingly young pitchers don't very often go out there and dominate from the very start of their career.
-
i think the cubs instituted a gag order on all rookies after hill's display this weekend.
-
Wood sore shoulder; might not make next start

gotta keep that drive for the playoffs going strong. -
do they keep track of how many times a guy gets thrown out trying to bunt for a hit? if so, pierre's gonna set the record.
-
guillen in the sun times... yeah, he had nothing to do w/ that play at all. i think he was sitting in the dugout quietly chewing sunflower seeds when the whole thing unfolded.
-
sorry, but i really don't care what you say. if hill mentioned koufax, it was because that's the guy he models himself after. what do you want him to say -- i most resemble charlie liebrandt? any inference that he was as good as/better than/the next koufax came from your mind. the fact that this topic has gotten so much play is ridiculous. for making his comments hill has been publicly raked over the coals by an opposing manager, HIS manager, and HIS gm. it may have also played a role in his demotion. meanwhile, the guy who started it all BY PUNCHING A GUY IN THE FACE has gotten off scot free...everybody still loves him. it's insane.
-
dude, there's nothing to defend b/c that's not what he said. as jon said, he said that his approach on the mound and his pitches were similar to koufax. in other words, that's the guy who he models himself after. you're acting like he said he was going to be better than koufax. go back to teaching us about your laws of probability...your posts on that subject amazingly made more sense than your posts on this one.
-
miss the part where hill criticized himself? reach and your point is....? take that into consideration & your rant's full of holes. please point those holes out to me. hill had every right to say what he did, regardless of what he says now (after a public reprimand by two of his bosses and a day to calm down).
-
LOL! Much bigger than both of ARam's homeruns! it goes w/o saying that i hate that guy. doesn't have anything to say about jones until he pulls one out of his ass and then he's got this obnoxious "told you so" attitude. he had the biggest boner for pierre all off season. now he's hitting .220, and he's got nothing to say except "welp, i was wrong. boy, does rich hill suck or what?"

What "shot"? nothing terrible, but i thought it was a random thing to throw in there. plus, it was funny in a paragraph that also said... and to review, calling ajp names gets you a public and private reprimand (and possibly plays a role in getting demoted). but PUNCHING HIM IN THE FACE...well, the organization seems ok with that.
-
so hendry criticizes hill for standing up for barrett b/c what barrett did was wrong...but he doesn't criticize barrett for doing the thing that was wrong? they're acting like hill called his own teammate gutless. are hendry and baker so macho that they have to basically take the side of guillen/aj b/c they don't want to look soft? geez, hill probably thought he was doing the right thing in standing up for his teammates. and hendry reminded me of baker when he got that shot in at murton.

Hill down, Wuertz up per ESPN 1000
abuck1220 replied to wade's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
maybe he read the thread where hill was called a thin-skinned headcase (or the one where he was told to go to hell) and he just wanted to fit in w/ the rest of the board. -
HAHAHHAAHHA Defending a teammate = headcase. Greg Maddux when he beaned a guy in retaliation his rookie year to stand up for a teammate = crazy headcase. Shoulda traded him for a 2B. He's a headcase because he says stuff like he pitches like Sandy Koufax before he even threw a major league pitch. Then he backs it up with one of the worst starts to a major league career in history. If you think we're watching a young Koufax, I apologize to you. Personally, I don't think he is or ever will be near that good, but that's just my opinion. weird thing is, he got the first guy of the game out, so i thought there was a 100% chance of him throwing a perfect game. apparently none of you heard the koufax mention, so you might as well shut up about it and quit making it sound like he said he was koufax's clone. you're mad about how he's pitched this season, fine. he hasn't pitched well, nobody said he has. but quit blowing this thing out of proportion even more than guillen did. and quit acting like you know he's a headcase, thinned skinned, whatever because you watched him throw a baseball on tv.

give me a break w/ this crap. people are acting as though he flew off unprovoked about how aj sucks, how ozzie's a terrible manager, and how he's better than everybody. somebody asked him about what happened, and he stuck up for his teammate. the way people have been talking about him the past couple days, if he had said "no comment" or "aj's play was clean," there would probably be 8 pages about how hill's a spineless coward.
-
Because Zambrano has the stuff to back it up. How hard is this to get across? Think about the social atmosphere of a high school gym class. Now pitcure the MLB. The 2 are the same, except the latter is even worse because of the money and egos involved. Is it right? No. Is it how it is? Yes. Will it always be this way? Bet on it. Don't pitch like an old man if you want to talk trash. who asked you? i have a MUCH bigger post count than you, so no one cares about your opinion. sorry...it's not fair...but it's the social atmosphere.

if zambrano would have made those comments, people would be dancing in the aisles with glee and making photoshop pictures of z karate chopping stuff.
