00:00At the age of 45, Rich Hill gets the start today in Chicago, where he began his MLB career two

00:07decades ago, back in 2005. Donnie, obviously the company's a pretty FD favorite to welcome Rich

00:15Hill back to the bump inside the friendly confines. What can we expect out of the 45-year-old lefty?

00:22Yeah, trying to take a look here and say with Rich Hill, I'm going to go to his,

00:25let me just go to his game log for the minor league system. The reason I want to bring that

00:29up is I just want to see how many innings that he's actually pitching at this point. So let's

00:33see. So we guys last start was two innings, five innings, four, four, six, five. So he's actually

00:38had almost a dozen starts here. His ERA in the minors is a 5.22 and he's getting up 11 home runs

00:45and 25 walks over those appearances. So I look at the nine myself and say, Boyd has actually been

00:50decent, but you got 12 runs or double digit runs, let's just say from the Royals yesterday. They're

00:55all lined up against as right-handed bats today. I think they can get some power shots off. And also

00:59for Rich Hill, this is a complete bullpen game. Give me the over nine. There's too much

01:03uncertainty. Rich Hill, even if he's really good, Ben, that's like three in the third innings

01:07pitched here. Give me the over at Wrigley today.
