why in the hell does Lou love Howry? I dont get it

 

Probably something about incriminating pictures of Lou with a Shetland Pony.

[BleacherBadger]

He throws one good slider all year, then collapses after it.

 

I can't believe Bob is on this ballclub.

 

I can't believe this is still a ballgame.

 

Lou may want to send the trainer out there. Bob may be in shock.

 

I think you go into shock when something happens that you aren't used to.

[Schwarber Fan]

Can you imagine Howry in a meaningful spot in the playoffs?

 

AHH! He better be off the team by then.

[Andy]

Howry has allowed at 1.090 OPS since the ASB.

 

He should have been DFA before Eyre.

Every batter that faces Howry is better than Ablert Pujols.

 

Unbelievable.

[David]

People want us to bring in our bad pitchers when we have big leads, but then they freak the hell out when said bad pitchers pitch poorly.

 

Can't have it both ways, guys.

 

That said, it obviously pissed me off when Howry would come in to tight games... but this isn't that.

Lou: "You haven't given up the lead yet, Bob, so get to it!"

 

Don't take him out now, Lou! We still have a 4-run lead!!

[BigSlick]

I don't care if he doesn't walk people

 

I don't care

 

You have to cut him

[Andy]

It's time to "Eyre" Howry.

We should have Eyre'd Howry to begin with and kept Eyre as the Howry role.

[kujay]

Thank Christ Howry is out of there.

No. It's not that we bring him in. It's that he's still employed.

Of course we can, David

 

Even bad pitchers record more outs than runs

He had better not be on the playoff roster, even.

 

Anyone in the minors we can call up to replace him if he gets DFA'ed?

I think people don't want us to hang on to bad pitchers.

[Soul]

Marmol better have that good control today

Hart. Piggy. Anyone with two arms.

[javy knows my name]

can't believe marmol has to pitch tonight

[JonnyRed]

Hey Bob, THAT's how relief pitchers should look!

[Brian]

Cool fact that the last cycle against the Cubs was in "the Rhyno game"

Not that great.

Hopefully Gooz will be ready sooner than later. If not, just bring up anyone. I cant imagine them being worse. OK, not so fast Kevin Hart, anyone else.

[CubmanPi]

I love being able to count on Marmol again.

Yea, but it is what it is. Given the present roster, I was totally fine with bringing Howry in there.

[Schwarber Fan]

Marmol should have been nowhere near this game

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But he still rocks ;)
