4/14 Cubs (Marshall) @ Pirates (Santos) 6:05 PM CSN+

[Fred Hornkohl]

Randa flied out to shallow right field

[killthegoat06]

Not that Howry's been bad, but he probably should pitch 7th. Williamson's deserved the 8th spot.

[cubweiser03]

This IS is the inning of decision. Dempster faces the crap of the order.

[Banedon]

Man the Cubs are beating the Bucs 1099677-6 according to the CGS Glog

 

with an undefined # of hits and errors :lol:

 

Yeah it did that earlier. I mentioned it earlier in the thread :)

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

How many games has Howry been in this year so far?

[Garwilly]

Very clearly.

[cubweiser03]

Lock it down

[Flames24Rulz]

Howry with a 1-2-3 8th. One more inning...

[killthegoat06]

That's 2 looooooooong outs for Howry.

Howry's giving up a few too many fly balls for my liking...

 

That said...nice job Bob!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

scary inning, but another 0 on the board.

:shock:

 

 

You must NEVER post AGAIN

[brinoch]

Not that Howry's been bad, but he probably should pitch 7th. Williamson's deserved the 8th spot.

 

You should use your best relievers in your most critical situations. Using Williamson as he was used today was well done by Baker, in my opinion.

Not a big deal Fred but you spelled Marshall's name wrong.

Good point. In general though, I stay with my idea.

Did you know who it was supposed to be ?

The question is, was it intentional? I don't think Dusty views Williamson as being ahead of Howry.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Come on ARam lets start a big crooked number inning.

of course there's no way to know for sure, but that critical situation probably doesn't come up if baker uses marshall correctly and not scared.

[Banedon]

Aram is shaking his head...I don't think he's up there with the right mindset...:P

[cubweiser03]

Randa

[Brian]

MAKE HIM PAY RAMMY.

Yep. I think the "save" stat and the development of defined "roles" for relievers has caused many managers (Joe Torre, cough) to leave their best relievers in the bullpen when they're most needed.
