Rich Hill with the Yips again

Rich Hill's outing today:

  Bottom 1st: Oakland

- O. Cabrera singled to center
- A. Kennedy fouled out to third
- O. Cabrera stole second
- J. Cust walked
- M. Holliday walked, O. Cabrera to third, J. Cust to second
- J. Giambi walked, O. Cabrera scored, J. Cust to third, M. Holliday to second
- K. Suzuki hit by pitch, J. Cust scored, M. Holliday to third, J. Giambi to second
- B. Crosby grounded out to third, M. Holliday scored, J. Giambi to third, K. Suzuki to second
- R. Davis walked
- B. Bass relieved R. Hill
- G. Petit grounded into fielder's choice, R. Davis out at second

3 runs, 1 hits, 0 errors
Baltimore 0, Oakland 3

Hill's career was de-railed by Steve Blass disease, which is how the Orioles ended up with him, and it had looked like he was bouncing back well, before today.

Hate stories like that

So painful to watch.

He has a great fastball

with sinking action. I’d like to see how well he maintains this, and against teams that do not suck.

This particular "disease" is so hard to figure.

Steve Blass

Steve Sax (couldn’t throw to first base from 2nd base position)

Dale Murphy (as a catcher, couldn’t throw to 2nd)

Remember the catcher at Frisco who resorted to rolling the ball to the mound because he couldn’t trust his throw to the pitcher?

So strange.

Basically ruined Mackey Sasser's career

Couldn’t throw the ball back to the pitcher. Double, Triple clutch the easy toss. Had no problem throwing to second, completely mental. I believe he was Holland’s coach in college.

I would've advocating going after Hill in the offseason for the song the O's picked him up for

Guess the Rangers knew better.

dang it

picked him up in the LSB AL only simply because he was a lefty and lefties kill oak

its a shame for him :(

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

Oakland is pulling an '08 Rangers

Dug themselves a cellar early, now they’re red-hot.

Matt Holliday is red-hot

And Giambi is productive.

Holliday is almost getting good enough to recieve some all-star consideration

He’s getting up there in WAR thanks to his defense.

Outman, maybe

and they have a couple of bullpen guys going well, but Holliday is it for position players.
