Thoughts on todays game vs the Astros?

[balls amp strikes]

Bob Howry needs to stop coming into games that are close until he gets straightened out. I understand he gets better as the season goes along, but using him right now in close games is a detriment to this team. Bring him in when we are up big, or down big, but no more seeing action in 1-2 run games until he gets straightend out.

 

He came in with a 3-run lead. You've got to let him get out on the mound and straighten himself out, and if you're not going to do it in three run games, when are you going to do it.

 

Ah, I thought it was a 2 run lead, my mistake. Well hopefully the Cubs offense wakes up and can be up by 4+ so Howry can get things straightened out, because right now he is terrible.

 

In general, you're right; the offense needs to start producing more. But in today's case, there's not much more they could have done. They scored 8 runs. Howry and Marquis should both be thankful. Speaking of, my main thought from today's game is that it sucks that our 9th best starter is in our rotation.

 

i agree 100% that marquis should not be the 5 starter. not that my oppinion matters.

Or any game where we just scored a lot of runs to take the lead,

Today's game was a perfect example of the stupid overreaction of some people to four games.

 

All it took was one game for Derrek Lee to up his average to .364 and his OPS to 1.091. Soriano and Ramirez are a hot week away from respectability. Everyone needs to chill.

 

Hell this early, it would just take a good day
