Wooo

 

I love Eyre, he doens't get enough usage from Lou

 

It would have been nice to have the LOOGY ready when McCann was coming to the plate.

 

Just sayin.

[Sammy Sofa]

Nicely done, Eyre.

 

Continue your hysterics, folks.

[chuckywang]

Can we stop using Scott Eyre as a LOOGY?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Unless we can make something happen here, Woodys going into the dreaded 1 run save situation.

[Soul]

Thanks Bob, now Woody has to be perfect.

[shnsajax]

When used correctly Eyre is very good.

[splintersag]

Eyre this year:

 

7.1 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 0 R

 

That would be a great start.

I'm old school.

[snoodmonger]

so what's the score? gamecast is frozen

6-5 middle of the 8th

 

Jeebus. From reading the last three pages, I figured Howry had given up 4 at least.

Good grief, can you please shrink that sig?

[BCVM22]

Woody will face a pinch hitter, Escobar and Johnson, and if anyone gets on, Francoeur.

I'm glad Marmol got all warmed up and then was wasted by being used for only 1 out.

 

I know you're kidding. But I'm actually glad.

It goes both ways

 

He's warmed up already, whats another 12 or so pitches?

 

I think appearances is just as important as total innings when looking at a relievers workload. Using him for 1 out kind of pisses me off. If he's only going to be used for one guy, then don't use him at all. Basically they failed to give Marmol a day off and didn't even really benefit from using him.

[17 Seconds]

Its amazing how Eyre has 30 scoreless innings and I still don't trust him in this situation.

 

Appearances, not innings.

[SpongeWorthy]

Thanks Bob, now Woody has to be perfect.

 

Oh poor Kerry he has to save a one run lead.

 

I'm sure he's fine with it.

???

There were 2 on in a 2 run game. They definitely benefited from it.

He's a sham closer.

I don't think you can say it didn't benefit them. If Lilly or Howry was put in, who knows what the score would be now? Howry was rocked today, and he probably would've given up a couple hits with runners on base.

[UMFan83]

Why the hell is Fox allowed to sit in the dugout? He should be cut.

[Careless]

But seriously, the Chicago Cubs consecutive scoreless appearance record is held by Ryan Dempster and Scott Eyre?

[BCVM22]

Theriot's grit had something to do with that.

You do realize it's the game thread?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Im starting to like this Soriano kid.

[Butterscup1679666578]

soriano's legs look damn good tonight

Botched hit and runs are fun.
