I swear Lou must take naps in the dugout sometimes. It's the only explanation. Larry asked him what to do before Howard and Lou said "Leave him in" and shrugged his shoulders. Yeah, having a lefty up (especially one with a nasty curve) against a strikeout machine would have been stupid. Lou don't roll like that, son.
Put your arms down, you useless sack of [expletive]. You're not going to get any breaks when you're throwing hot garbage and walking/hitting guys left and right. Taste the boos, [expletive].
Boy, it would be fabulous if Marshall or Grabow had been ready to go against Howard. Yeah, why bother getting someone up after Marmol walks a guy and then hits one? That's just overkill, Lou. Stay frosty.
I can't tell if Lou is using Marmol just because it's the 8th and he thinks he has to or he's saving Guzman because he's managing for extra innings as per usual.
You'd like to see more runs with that many hits, by 5 runs per game should be plenty to win so long as the pitching doesn't [expletive] the bed. Yeah, a ton of guys were left on base but it's not like the offense was dormant. I'll happily take 5 runs a game.
agreed. i haven't seen a playoff berth for this team almost all season long. So you're saying you thought they wouldn't make the playoffs sometime in April or May? that is correct Stop lying.
Yeah, the Phillies are going to be tough no matter what but this upcoming series is definitely up for grabs given the Phillies' struggles lately and since it's at home.
Offensively, sure, just because you've got the Wrigley factor in play. I think the biggest hurdle against the Phillies is going to be the Cubs' pitching and not the offense.
ah yes the famous career OPS. When I evaluate a player, I use more than his age 23-25 OPS, sorry. i feel like weve been through this before The infinite loop cannot be broken.
