to be fair, a lot of #4 starters have the ninth-best WHIP among major league starters. by the way, of the 118 pitchers who have thrown 60 innings or more this year, 110 of them have gotten better run support than rich hill. And the Cubs have scored 29 runs in his last 13 starts. Great job losers. I wrote a column on this same thing for the paper last week except it was on Matt Cain. Obviously his stats aren't as good as Rich Hill's but he has pitched better than his 2-8 record suggests. He's received no run support from the Giants though IIRC it was more than Hill has received from the Cubs.
