Big Night for a Lefty Pitcher. And the World Series Starts.

Update Rained out. Figures.



Rich Hill takes the hill Wednesday Night for los Tigres de Aragua, in the Venezuelan Winter League. Nice picture at the link of Hill ripping off a circle-change. His first outing was a success, working into the 6th inning without a single walk (more on Rich's debut).

Tonight's match-up is against Margarita. Their roster includes Henry Blanco. I hope he gets to play. Aragua features lead-off man Sam Fuld, and prospect Jonathon Mota has started a few games, and pitcher Justin Berg has had some quality innings out of the 'pen.

If you want to kill time before the World Series starts, and not watch all the pre-game festivities, you can probably watch Aragua, or another Venezuelan game, at the league's website. Scroll down to the left side, the video takes a moment sometimes.
