Konerko Connects
Watching my second televised game of the spring. Cubs and White Sox, WGN. Cubs lefty Rich Hill strikes out the first two batters he faces, then serves up a long home run to Paul Konerko. Hill fell behind on breaking balls, then left a 3-2 fastball down and out over the plate. Konerko hammered it to left-center, and it cleared the fence with room to spare.
Hill surrendered 16 homers in 99 1/3 innings for the Cubs last year. If he’s ever going to deliver on the promise suggested by his minor-league numbers, Hill will need to improve in that area at the big-league level.
Also, Alfonso Soriano has just crushed a leadoff double to deep center field for the Cubs in the bottom of the first. Man, his bat is quick. But you already knew that.
