Yes, because we have to expect perfection out of guys just coming up to the majors at all times. Your response makes little sense. I didn't even imply perfection was needed, but please throwing 25+ pitches in the first inning kills any team's hopes for their starter to go deep. Man, some of you are touchy. I understand there's this unwritten rule for some that it's only a 6-12 team member problem, but I blame everyone -- rookies aren't excluded-- in a Cub uniform and anyone associated with the construction of this team. I'm just saying that it's unreasonable to expect rookies and young players to always perform at that level. It happens to a number of pitchers and I think it's unfair to single out certain guys, ya know? Hill had a mediocre performance out there tonight. It was dumb of Dusty to send him out there for the 7th and it cost Hill a quality start, not to mention a couple of runs. Had Eyre been out there to start the inning, there would have been a different and likely better outcome than what we got.
