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

 

He was getting praised for a lucky, low-run start to his season. Getting criticized for an unlucky, high-run start today seems about fair.

Dempster returns to the mean.

 

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

 

Yahoo has one of the runs being earned.

 

I thought it was, but Len said all 3 coming in from the break.

That is some very poor logic sir.

Because the error doesn't assume the second out would have occurred, it puts the runner at third and first with 2 outs. he winds up being an earned run

Exactly.

 

On a more upbeat note, Soto rocks!!!!

If this keeps up, we may have to possibly throw out the idea that Geovany Soto is the best player on this team besides probably Z. He just can't be stopped.

I didn't say it was logical. Just fair.

Soriano struck out swinging

Two mistakes:

1. It's too early in the season to decide if a player's going to be bad this year.

2. You used batting average to prove a point. Shame on you.

Based on how the inning went I would think all three would be unearned. MLB says that one was earned but that doesn't really make sense. If Fontenot makes the play and gets one out, that would have been the second out of the inning. Encarnacion walked, which would have loaded the bases regardless of which player Fontenot got out, and then Dunn struck out which would have been the third out with no runs scoring.

Encarnacion walked w/ bases loaded.
