Didn't Howry used to have a splitter?

Didn't Howry used to be able to do more than batting practice?

Tie game, bottom 8, two out
Runners 1st and 3rd. Howry pitching.
Not good.

probably wanted to test him in back-to-back games
simulate the playoffs. Bob failed.

Might as well throw Marmol against the Brewers
and keep them from the playoffs.

i don't know that the baseline matters on plays at the plate

It doesn't.
It stands to reason that when a player, (Church), runs that far out of the base line- he’ll be able to avoid the tag.

Yeah, I agree. He was at least three feet outside the baseline.
The throw was great, Hill was in position, but Church ran way in the hell out of the baseline.
I assume if this is the playoffs. Lou’s out there arguing.

THe throw was not great
it was 6 feet up the line.
That said, our minor league catcher had ample time to set himself and take care of it.
Church had no business being sent on that play….
AND WE LET ’EM OFF THE HOOK!

yeah, but it beat the runner by a ton. If he stays in the baseline....
or even close, he’s out.

IF he stays in the baseline
that’s the argument FOR the throw?
c’mon, you and I both know baseline isn’t a consideration there.
The throw has to be close. And it wasn’t. And the catcher has to handle it. And he didn’t.

let’s not forget about Cotts. He started this mess.

true.
would have been nice if he could get left-handers not named Carlos Delgado out.

at least he doesn’t stink as consistently as Howry seems to do so … i’m tired of the drama of watching a reliever give up runs ..

rules change
Too bad those runs don’t get charged to Howry. He usually avoids ERA damage because he let’s everyone else’s baserunners score.
