[genbar]

Grab some pine, meat!

[CubsBears29]

Not sure I want to see Marmol (don't know if he's back, or close, to where he was), even with a nice lead to work around, so who do "you" get up to work the 9th? Or do you roll the dice and let Demps at least come back out and start the inning??

 

 

Oh, and great work getting around the leadoff 2B, Demps!!!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Dempster is freaking amazing!

 

Go Cubs!

I just noticed the Cub batters have more walks than hits today.

 

Imagine that happeneing in the Baker regime.

Nah, put someone else in for the 9th.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I'd send Dempster back out.

[CubsGM]

I'd send Dempster back out.

Wrong

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 18-3 when they hit at least 2 home runs.... 29-24 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[justin23iu]

I'd send Dempster back out.

 

He leads off, so we'll know in just a minute.

.......................I have a terrific imagination, but that one just can't be imagined

[Mizzou]

Let him try and complete it. I'd have someone up just in case though.

[Outshined_One]

Take Demp out. He's had a lot of high PC games and could use a bit of rest.

[Guancous]

Pat and Ron discussed earlier how the coaching staff found a flaw in Marmol's delivery. They said he was crouched over too much and that they could fix the mechanics. Let's hope that's true.

[BCVM22]

Demp hitting for himself against Jenks.

[Mizzou]

Nice, he's going to try and finish it!

What, and clog the bases?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jenks in to pitch for the white sox

[CubsBears29]

Batting for himself, anywho.

 

Maybe Lou is going "classy" here and not bringing up a PH, with a 5-run lead late?

Since the Cubs have the off day on Monday, Dempster's next start will come with an extra day's rest so I'd let him start the ninth and if he gets into any trouble, take him out. Have Cotts or Lieber ready to go but let Dempster go for it.

[Little Slide Rooter]

you suck Dempster.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster grounded out to short, 6-3

I like the idea of sending him back out. Lou looked pumped when he told him to grab a bat.
