Sammy Sosa was a [expletive] for talking to Jeff Pentland. ...okay... My point is, people keep looking for someone to blame/credit for Hill's failures/successes. The guy's 28 years old, he should be capable of working through difficult patches without people talking about how this pitching coach or that pitching coach isn't doing a good enough job. You are exactly right. He should be allowed to work through his tough patches, and by being pushed back, and skipped, and not starting for 9 days, thats not exactly letting him work through it. Hill was a top 30 pitcher last year yet Lou still had a short fuse with Rich. So this year our manager and pitching coach decide that one of the better pitchers in all of baseball the previous year, needs to change his mechanics. You tell me where that makes any sense. You dont fix something that isnt broke, but yet our manager has a fascination with trying to fix things that arent broke.
