| Analysis: "You have to be able to perform at this level to continue to pitch," pitching coach Rick Kranitz said. "I don't know if he's going to be back starting again or not. But I do know that you've got to be able to give your team a chance. You've got to be able to go out there and throw the ball over the plate and get us through five, six, seven innings. He hasn't done it, and that's disappointing." Manager Dave Trembley's words were not much more encouraging, a further sign that Hill will at least lose his spot in the rotation. He could move into the bullpen or be released, but we should know more on Friday. |
