After successive starts at AAA Iowa where he obviously lacked control and confidence, the Cubs’ Rich Hill was sent all the way to Mesa in the Rookie League to work on the fundamentals and maybe get his head together.
Please tell me if I’m saying the obvious here but I have to wonder if Hill is just done. In his first start at Mesa yesterday, he didn’t even get past the first inning. Pitching 1/3 of an inning, he gave up five runs, three earned including 3 walks.
The Cubs organization is considering giving Hill a break altogether to see that might work. I don’t see what other option they have.
hehe… The Cubs Brickyard have heard some other “news” about his future plans.
Hill’s future is not sounding bright to say the least.
