I've had enough of watching this crapa$$ rotation load the bases in the first inning. What a joke.

 

None of that was Dempster's fault except the walk.

 

True - Fontenot botched the DP that should have negated the scenario in the first place. But he didn't walk in a run with one of the league's most impatient hitters at the plate.

 

Come on. It should have been 3 up 3 down. The 2 hits were soft infield ground balls.

with the shift and theriot being the one to get the ball, Griffey would have gotten on

[illiniguy]

Nice work that inning Fontenot. FREE RONNY.

[Schwarber Fan]

Cubs will get at least one this inning.

[CubsGM]

Dempster returns to the mean.

It's only a 1-0 game if Fontenot makes that play or even 0-0 game.

Come on, I'm tired of Cubs pitcher's not throwing strikes.

Thank you Ryan. At least now I wont have to waste my entire evening on this crap. Maybe I can find something productive to do.

 

That inning was just as much Fontenot's fault as Dempster's.

Dempster pitched well that inning, all 3 runs are unearned.

[cubbyvirus00]

hahahaha. The Cubs have a franchise best April, and yet they're going to blow it with a horrible May.

Reality, meet Ryan Dempster's BABIP. Ryan Dempster's BABIP, meet reality.

Pretty weird seeing pro-reds ads on the board behind home. I'm willing to bet that most of the people who see that are rooting against the Reds

[UMFan83]

What did he do wrong?

 

He gave up softly hit single into the shift. If the shift isn't on, its an easy out. Then he gave up a lightly hit IF hit that was perfectly placed. He followed that by ending the inning by inducing a picture perfect DP ball. When that was botched, he did walk someone, but then gave up a soft bloop single into center to score 2.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome called out on strikes

The first run was earned

[illiniguy]

How bout we get the same zone for both teams time welke.

[CubsGM]

Let's swing the bat this century.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That ball was six inches off the plate.

[PrimeTime]

Kouskes pissed

[Careless]

Mass ejection time!

[Schwarber Fan]

Fan graphs makes no sense. The Reds win chance was 66% before the Fuku AB and now it's 80%?

 

WTF?

[Careless]

I want to see Kosuke's translator ejected

[17 Seconds]

Why are people criticizing Dempster? Seriously, 2 infield hits and an error.
