5/19 Idiots (Gorzelanny) @ Phillies (Moyer) - 6:05 CST, CSN

[expletive] it. Might as well leave him in there against Howard. Pray for the double play.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howard grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3 , Polanco scored, Utley to second

[erik316wttn]

Pick one: John Grabow or Bob Howry.

 

A bullet to the head.

[bcl412]

Z time.

[Sammy Sofa]

Wait, isn't this the 8th inning? Isn't Sean the 8th inning guy now?

 

Marshall's thrown 3 innings in the last 2 days.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Zambrano in to pitch for the CUBS

Ah, ok didn't know that. Why not use Z?

I wanted Z against Utley, but once he was on it was smarter to leave Grabow in to face Howard. Lefties are Howard's kryptonite and he was 0 for 5 against Grabow with 3 k's.

[Sammy Sofa]

Come on, Z. Lock this down.

[Sammy Sofa]

BEAUTIFUL PLAY BY CASTRO. [expletive] YES.

[Careless]

nice to have a SS who can make that throw

[bcl412]

CASTRO!!!!

 

It's nice to have a strong arm at short.

[JonJayCutler]

Incredible.

[NotSoSober]

Nice to have a shortstop that can actually make that play

[Soul]

Castro Cannon!

[BCVM22]

You would have needed two of Ryan Theriot to make that throw.

[genbar]

Nice throw!!!!

[illiniguy]

BEAUTIFUL PLAY BY CASTRO. [expletive] YES.

My mlbtv is about 2 minutes behind all of you.

Starlin Castro is good as baseball. John Grabow, not so much. I think I can remember 1 Grabow outting when he didnt yield at least 1 run, and I think we had a 5 run lead at the time.
