I still think the quick turnaround was tough for both teams. Rich’s hittable stuff of late just made it easier to get over for the Nationals. At least he gave the team six innings and the bullpen didn’t have to get blown up. There’s no doubt the Cubs bats were completely asleep. There’s no way Matt Chico is that good.

There’s really nothing to take from this game, except they still have a chance to win the series in today’s game. A sweep would’ve been neat, but 3 of 4 is what they came for. AAAAH RHYMING. The Brewers lost, the Dodgers lost, so the Cubs didn’t lose any ground. You’re going to lose, so at least it doesn’t hurt this time.

It sounds like Z isn’t going to make the All Star game after all, unless someone gets hurt. Don’t we usually have injury pull outs by now? (Maybe A-Rod soon.) I guess there were just less hurt guy selected than in previous years.

  1. The nats’ announcers were going on and on all day about how word around the league is that Hill is tipping his pitches. They seem to mention it after every big hit, especially the Slam.

  2. That seems to be what’s happening – supposedly, trading for a San Diego player after San Diego killed him was also going to help Hill figure it out. I’m sure there’s something he’s doing with the big curve that lets people know, if he’s not careful.

    The bigger problem is he’s only throwing two pitches, so you’ve got a 50/50 chance. If there’s a tell on the curve, and you don’t see the tell, you’ve got the other pitch too.

    With the all star break, they’re basically going to skip his turn in the rotation. Maybe he’ll figure it out with the down time.
