Kevin Hart called up.

[Little Slide Rooter]

9/3/08 Chicago Cubs

Recalled RHP Kevin Hart from Triple-A Iowa.

 

Welcome back Howry Light.

[Mizzou]

Oh God.

 

He should only pitch in blowout situations. I have a feeling that he might pitch late inning relief tonight though.

Oh God.

 

He should only pitch in blowout situations. I have a feeling that he might pitch late inning relief tonight though.

I'd rather have him pitch over Howry any day.

It's certainly possible considering Marmol and Wood are likely not available tonight.

[Post Count Padder]

This is gonna help down the stretch.

Pitcher C: 31 2/3 IP, 17 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 HR, 11 BB, 30 K. 1.99 ERA, 0.884 WHIP.

 

Pitcher C is Kevin Hart. Definitely a better choice than Ascanio.

[YearofDaCubs]

Hart looked really good last year. Let's hope he has figured it out and can be what he was last year.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Ugh... Hart's been a human gas can when he's been up this year.
