why is Howard on the bench?

some new Philadelphia strategy? hehe, sorry.
2 games in a row, what gives?

Did you bother to check who was pitching against them? Probably just a matter of lefty/righty platoon -- that's what they did w/ Utley earlier too when they still had Polanco around.

Check Howard's splits. Then you'll know why he sat vs. the lefties the last couple days.
