Hoffpauir? Seriously Lou?

 

Why wouldnt you have used Hoff right there?

 

because hoffpauir is terrible and jake fox is good.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Heilman in to pitch for the CUBS

[Brian]

Hoffpauir? Seriously Lou?

 

Why wouldnt you have used Hoff right there?

 

Because I would have used Jake Fox, back up catcher or not. You want your best guy at the plate there.

 

 

With the lefty warming you put Hoffpauir out there, and if they go to the lefty you go with Fox if not you stick with the favorable match up

[Little Slide Rooter]

Reds Announcer: Randy Wells cannot win or lose this game :banghead:

 

Maybe he knows something we dont. Is Heilman warming up in the pen?

 

Crap, he is.

[ConstableRabbit]

119 PC for Harang.

[Butterscup1679666578]

oh no its heilman

[Keener98]

Hoffpauir? Seriously Lou?

 

Why wouldnt you have used Hoff right there?

 

because hoffpauir is terrible and jake fox is good.

 

Hoff is still the right call against the RH Harang.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 35-20 when the opposing starter pitches 6-1/3 innings or less.... 13-23 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Brian]

is Angel dead? that's the only reason for him to not be pitching here.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rosales, pinch hitting for Harang, grounded out to third, 5-3

[Little Slide Rooter]

oh no its heilman

 

As much as Heilman scares me, what scares me more is Guzmans absence. 7th inning, up by 1 run is usually his spot.

[CUBZ99]

Does this mean that Guzman is hurt now too?

[abuck1220]

Hoffpauir? Seriously Lou?

 

Why wouldnt you have used Hoff right there?

 

because hoffpauir is terrible and jake fox is good.

 

Hoff is still the right call against the RH Harang.

 

but he sucks though.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 41-9 when they score 4 runs or more.... 7-36 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dickerson struck out swinging

[Prizefight]

Hoffpauir? Seriously Lou?

Hoff is still the right call against the RH Harang.

 

but he sucks though.

 

A) He's the back up catcher, why burn him especially when:

B) Hoff the lefty was the right decision there

 

It's easy in hindsight to criticize a decision, but Lou did the right thing there.

[inari]

CUBS are 41-9 when they score 4 runs or more.... 7-36 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

That is staggering. If our offense could simply be league average, how god would we be?

[Fred Hornkohl]

We would have the best record in MLB.

[Prizefight]

Wow Heilman. That was borderline competent.

[TruffleShuffle]

B) Hoff the lefty was the right decision there

 

It's easy in hindsight to criticize a decision, but Lou did the right thing there.

 

we could really use a real LH bat off the bench though... hoffpauir has been brutal the last 2 months. that's a spare part that hendry should be looking for, a matt stairs type.

Wow, nice job by Heilman.
