Absolutely but we need to see actual results and not the same talk we have become accustomed to hearing from guys in this organization.
I understand and agree that it's performance we want, need, and expect. But regardless, I appreciate Hill's candor in describing his symptoms, and in communicating what he's doing in a straightforward and low key manner. I don't get a sense that he's sugar coating anything. When he gets hit hard, he says "I sucked". When he's in pain, he says so. If anything, sometimes he pitches really well, but still finds flaws or things to improve upon next outing.
There's no comparison here to Patterson, who was always just one more start away from turning the corner.
Reporters ask these guys questions, and I believe they have an obligation to answer truthfully most of the time, the exceptions being in cases where they are being prompted perhaps to stab a teammate in the back, in which case they should demurr.
