6/10 Braves (Glavine) @ Cubs (Lilly) 7:05 WGN & WGN Radio

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If Marmol finishes this inning, he's on pace for 103 innings.

 

On what planet is this sort of arm-flogging acceptable?

[inari]

Howry is in (!)

Woohoo! Howry for the 8th! My prayers are answered!

I like how they go from one of the pitchers with the most movement in baseball to one of the pitchers with the least movement.

[Outshined_One]

Tough play for everyone there.

[BCVM22]

Howry does not appear to be fooling anyone, really.

Kyle Farnsworth?

[Sammy Sofa]

Good Lord, Theriot has Pierre's doll-arm.

[splintersag]

Yeah Bob Howry's in!

 

Let's hope he doesn't make us regret enjoying that decision.

[TruffleShuffle]

see, this is actually the way the game is supposed to be managed... be patient with your starter, but when he loses it then go to your best bullpen arm in the high-leverage situation. get a run for insurance so the cubs are better than 90% to win, then go to some of the other middle relievers.

The house comes crashing down when we use Kerry in the 9th but meh

[BCVM22]

Sigh.

[splintersag]

What was it?

"Soriano, you make us smile."

 

Generally I agree, even if it is smiling in utter disbelief sometimes.

If Howry doesn't throw strikes that will turn into a good decision.

two girls were holding a sign that said "Soriano you make us smile"

[TruffleShuffle]

hmmm that one was a strike for glavine, eddings.

[bcl412]

I hate that hop.

[TruffleShuffle]

country music night? my condolences to people attending that game.

[BCVM22]

Come on, Howry.

[UMFan83]

Oh no.

[17 Seconds]

McCann 3 run bomb?

[inari]

Regardless of whether or not Howry gives up runs here, I'm glad Marmol wasn't used.

[Butterscup1679666578]

oh no
