how did howry ever get this far with a straight 92 mph fastball and nothing more?

 

The game thread attackers are back. Howry hasn't given up an earned run since mid April before today, he's far from awful.

 

But he was awful today...

 

BS. I don't care what his line says, Howry's been shaky as hell every time I've seen him this year.

 

Don't give me this crap. You've all been watching the games. Howry barely escapes with his life every time he goes out there. He's total junk.

Howry was outstanding today. I'm proud of this team. They're making sure that we will have no hopes left to crush in September. Losing now sucks...but not as bad as being good and blowing it in the fall. Thank you Bob Howry...you are the player of the game.

I just don't see how we will be able to catch up to the Brewers and to be honest with other teams doing so well, we're probably already done. This team is so pathetic with its inconsistent offense, inconsistent bullpen and the baserunning blunders that give you heartburn everyday save for off days.

 

The only consistent is losing. If our starters our good our offense is bad. If both our starting pitching and offense is good our bullpen is bad. If pitching, offense, and 'pen is good our defense is bad.

 

It's a fairly complicated equation. Some people on the board try to defend certain pitchers by citing statistics. What they don't realize is that it just doesn't matter with this team. They will always find a way to lose regardless of how good a matchup is or how good a player has been in the past. It's exactly like you said: good starters=bad offense, good offense=bad bullen, good bullpen=bad defense. Oh, and a memory from the 2003 post season, when our pitchers have a batter down 0-2...it's a homerun. The only logical explanation is that this team sucks and it always will. But I still like them.

Its not crap, his line is what matters in most cases. He's sucked today, but he's far from terrible.

 

I realize its mostly game thread rantings, but have some perspective.
