The Dodgers have once again been struck with the injury bug and this time it’s a familiar injury. Rich Hill is struggling once again with blister issues. Saturday in game two of the doubleheader, the Dodgers were put in an awful spot as the bullpen had to pitch nine innings. Luckily the Dodgers won in nine innings, but it’s clear that Rich Hill is on the downside of his career.
Not only is Rich Hill dealing with a bad blister, he is also pitching against father time. Hill is now thirty-eight years old and it’s unreasonable to expect 180-200 innings out of him anymore.
