None of the starters should even play in this game plain and simple. -

Howry since April(including today): 3.13 ERA 20 Ks, 3 BB You sure thats right SSR? He had a 1.76 ERA in May, and so far in June he has a 6.75, that would be a 4.26 ERA wouldnt it? Howry was terrible in April, great in May, and so far terrible in June. I dont know what his deal is hes historically a slow starter, and right now he has no business in a close game, but that doesnt mean he shouldnt be used at all. Games like today are when he should be used for right now until he starts getting batters out consistently. Right now Eyre and Marmol should be the setup guys. Howry IP H R ER BB K HR PC BB/9 K/9 HR/9 WHIP ERA April 13.3 21 13 12 2 9 3 229 1.35 6.08 2.03 1.73 8.10 May 15.0 16 4 3 3 15 2 243 1.80 9.00 1.20 1.27 1.80 June 5.0 7 4 4 0 5 1 82 0.00 9.00 1.80 1.40 7.20 May & June 20.0 23 8 7 3 20 3 325 1.35 9.00 1.35 1.30 3.15 season total 33.3 44 21 19 5 29 6 554 1.35 7.83 1.62 1.47 5.13 You can never "average" the averages.

Shoulda been cheering him once he put on the Cubs uniform. Who gives a crap who he used to play for, there are numerous people on our team that played for other teams. Hell Derrek Lee played for the Marlins and helped beat us in the playoffs but hes loved. People need to get over it.
-
Ha you are right Im a dumbass sorry. Point still stands hes been terrible for 17 innings and terrific for 15 innings, although he was still averaging a hit per inning in May, but he was also averaging a strikeout per inning. They just need to be cautious when they use him right now, because hes going through a rough patch again.
-
Yes the bases were loaded with nobody outs, but you know what happens if they hit a grand slam? We are still up 2 runs. Lou feels the need to bring Marmol in anytime a pressure situation arises, when since we were up 6 runs with 6 outs to go, there really is no reason to freak out. Marquis had only thrown 78 pitches today, and the number 9 hitter was coming up. Hes shown a good ability the last 2 outings to get double plays. Let him see what he can do against the 9 hitter, and go from there. Lou freaks out way to easy.

Who the hell is Jesse Litsch? Hes put up some good numbers so far this year. Lets hope Lilly can keep the ball in the park.

Today is the perfect game to let Howry pitch in. We were up 5 runs in the 9th inning. Howry has proven in his career he gets better as the season goes along, lets just hope we get last years 2nd half out of Howry again in this 2nd half.
-
Id really like to know how an umpire can not tell that ball hit the ground before going into Ludwicks glove? It was blatantly obvious. Oh well lets hope Brett Myers remembers hes Brett Myers tomorrow and starts pitching like a good pitcher
-
Adam Kennedy 2 run Hr lol
-
How many of those guys in the last 5 years that went over 100, had all 100 innings as a reliever? How many were 25 years old, and only in their 2nd season as a reliever? Nevermind I just read ALL of your post instead of the 1st sentence lol
-
It'll be 4.5 after tonight - there's no reason the Phillies shouldn't smack the Cardinals again. Philly is throwing Adam Eaton, dont count your chickens yet.
-
Well, lets hope Lilly can keep it in the park tomorrow. Go Philly

Totally unrelated For someone who just called out Howry, you should see the relation No there is no relation at all. Its a differet point in the game. I wasnt clamoring for Howry last inning. But if you think just because Howry gave up a triple there, then he would have if he was brought in in the 8th, then I dont know what to tell you. Quit taking it so literal. Nobody saying he would have given up a triple. They are saying he was a lot more likely to give up a hit compared to Marmol. Like I said you had a 6 run lead, even if they give up a grand slam you still have a 2 run lead with nobody on. Ive backed off my statement regarding Marmol a little since Ive learned he had only thrown 2 innings. However, to say the triple Howry gave up is why Marmol was brought in is unrelated, and irrelevant. I think the Cubs should put Marmol in a glass case in the dugout and admire him for the rest of year while guys like Leiber, Howry and others blow baseball games. Not saying he should pitch every day, but my God, this is not Dusty-like abuse. No you are right this is goes beyond Dustylike abuse. Marmol was on pace to pitch 100 innings out of the bullpen as of like a week or 2 ago. Thats un chartered territory for about any reliever EVER

Not the triple but the fact that he can't get people out is the problem. I am sure you will pull some stat out of your rear to prove me wrong, but beyond Wood, Marmol and Eyre, the back end of the bullpen is not entirely reliable. No need to pull a stat out of my rear to disprove your complete and utter ridiculous hyperbole. Saying Howry cant get people out, when he just got 3 outs in the 9th, is ignorant.

Totally unrelated That eighth inning could have been a lot worse with Howry or Leiber. Just saying And it could have been just as good with Marquis, Lieber, or Howry. Its a diffent situation, and nobody knows what wouldve happend.
