you're going to judge him on one night? every pitcher has a bad night. does webb suck because the padres scored 5 off of him last night? he must not be the diamondback's best pitcher by your logic. Zambrano hasn't been the best pitcher on the Cubs this season. Hill and Lilly have been better. This isn't entirely true. Hill and Lilly have been more effective on the mound. I wouldn't say they've both have been better pitchers. So Zambrano has been less effective, yet better? I think we're going to need another longwinded rambling paragraph out of you to explain this one. I believe he's saying that how much better of a hitter Zambrano is over Hill and Lilly make up for him being a slightly worse of a pitcher this year. Zambrano is not that good of a hitter. I don't think so either. Just offering a guess as to what he was trying to say.
