8/5 Astros (Rodriguez) @ Cubs (Harden) - 1:20 CSN

[big_shooter17]

Lou just wanted Wood to come in while behind so that he wouldn't have pressure on him. That and Piniella is frequently a jackass when using his chum for life, bob howry.

[PrimeTime]

Neifi to Dusty is what Howry is to Piniella, I dont get why he has this obsession with him

[Banedon]

That's on Piniella. Open base and you pitch to the biggest Cubs killer of all time? Brilliant!

 

Its also on Howry

 

Lou put him in position to fail.

[Guest]

Bob, Bob, Bob

 

It's not Bob's fault that he's not a good pitcher at this point. It's Lou's fault for leaving him out there.

Ha see the sig, Ive had that for bout 2 weeks now

[rocket]

why don't pitchers like bob howry get blisters that never heal?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That was an incredibly stupid decision to pitch to Lee. Godawful!

[David]

And the stupidity continues with Johnson facing a RHP

[inari]

Eyre sucks too, but jeeze, he's not a guarantee to give up runs like Howry is.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

I can not believe that just happened.

 

stupidity!!!

 

why so serious?

[cubs121]

Bob, Bob, Bob

It's unbelievable how stupid these people can be at times.... why the heck do you pitch to Lee in that situation??? WHYY?????

[TruffleShuffle]

I think we DFA'd the wrong guy

i'm legitimately pissed we dfa's eyre

 

i'm not... he's been pretty lousy since the cubs signed him, so it's really not a loss.

[big_shooter17]

Piniella sucks

[Keener98]

Howry is a Major League pitcher whos job is to get tough rightys out late in the game. Lou screwed up, but its Howrys job to get guys like Carlos Lee out

[Choonch]

How the eff can you get a job managing at the ML level when you are so stupid and stubborn? EVERYONE knows Bob Howry sucks and can't be trusted with the lead. Yet you leave him in to pitch to Carlos effin Lee. Lou has NO idea how to manage a bullpen. None. At all. He pitches his best relievers in blowouts and continues to throw garbage (i.e. Howry) out there to blow leads.

[rocket]

maybe after today lou will stop pitching howry in close and late situations.

 

lol yeah right

[WrigleyinEngland]

If we lose this game on that call it's total bS. That's the worst call i've ever witnessed at a big league game. Who the crap doesn't tell HOWRY, Piniella whoever whats going on???? I mean DLee is supposed to be a team leader do you not remind your pitcher and manager what this guy has done to us??? SO [expletive] CUBS!!!!!

[C.C.]

Well there's a really good chance for the Brewers to lose with Volquez pitching. Man, I hate the Astros.

[Keener98]

And the stupidity continues with Johnson facing a RHP

 

:D

...and he wants to use howry as a closer

[swordsman]

Way to go RJ!

 

Come on Cubs, get that run in!

[TruffleShuffle]

and he hasn't been doing it, so why is he in the game there? not to mention why are you pitching to a very good hitter who crushes against the cubs when you have a pretty lousy hitter behind him?

:D

 

I'm glad the wrong decision worked out... 8-)
