4/3 Brewers (Bush) vs Losers (Dempster) 1:20 pm WGN-WGN 720

[E.J.]

Is it fair to say that Demp has been pretty nasty today? He's had a ton of movement on all his pitches.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

take a seat fatty

 

Do you think Fielder sweats walking back and forth from the dugout?

he sweats when he breathes

[SABR Gamer]

soto mad. SOTO SMASH.

 

I can't see the game. Did he break his bat? How about Bam-Bam as a nick-name?

 

Nah, he already has the ultimate nick-name:

 

GEOVANY SOTO

 

and yeah he banged his bat on the ground and it shattered (sorta).

[98navigator]

Demp is throwing a quality game. I'm realy impressed!

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Dempster has always had good stuff, it's just that he never throws strikes (except for today)

[SABR Gamer]

I also just want to make Soto sound like a BA

[Brian]

Look at what I said on page 1.

 

Dempster is going to be solid. 6 or 7 IP, 2 or less runs. I've got a feeling.

 

 

If he comes out for the 7th and blows it, I take responsibility.

Is it possible that Dempster might be halfway decent as a starter? He has always had pretty good stuff. It's just his control that sucks. Today, he's obviously been sharp, for the most part.

 

I'm actually a little more worried about the two lefties. Hill because of his inability to find the plate earlier, and Lilly because of Lou's claims that his fastball "isn't there."

He has been nasty, Dempster....ok well I'm not saying anything because if I complement him he could make me look stupid, but it really would be a pleasant surprise if Dempster has a good year.

[wvcbxl]

91 pitches for Dempster.

 

PH anyone?

He's really throwing the ball well, but probably.

Demp is going to be good/decent on some days and awful on others. That's how he was for his starts in 05. People forget he threw a couple of really good games.

Great job Demp. i assume you're done.

[Derwood]

there was no reason for Yost to run Bush back out here again. let's take advantage

[98navigator]

Fontenot on deck so Demp is done after 6ip.

[TruffleShuffle]

well the good news for dempster is that he doesn't have dempster in the bullpen to blow the save for him

[SABR Gamer]

Pie showing off his warning track power

[Derwood]

Pie golfs one to RF on ball four. should've laid off

[Brian]

Howry in the month of April is looming down there though.

LOL (to above comment)

 

 

 

Fontenot double.

[Brian]

nice hustle by Fontenot

[jersey cubs fan]

That was a leadoff-esque at bat, taking strikes, taking balls, fouling some off.

[David]

And here I was about to lament Fontenot's presence on the roster.

 

Nice double.

 

Still doesn't change my mind.

[98navigator]

Fontenot PH double

Pie end up batting leadoff eventually.
