clutchiness.

To be fair, they smoked some balls right at people with RISP over the weekend. Soto on Saturday, Ramirez early and both Edmonds and Ward in the ninth last night, to name a few.

The defense was awful behid him, but Dempster was terrible as well. He had no command and left everything up, he certainly wasn't sharp and definitely did not pitch well.

You didn't watch the game I watched. He was very sharp the first two innings. The first really solid hit against him was Dye in the 3rd, and in fact, up until that point I thought he was out-pitching Contreras, despite being down 3-0. He had been sharp with most hits against coming on good pitches, mostly just off the plate outside. Quentin was lucky on both the single and the double and Cabrera got two hits on excellent pitches.

 

He fell apart after that (faced only three more batters), but it was pretty evident by then the game wasn't going to be a good one for the Cubs, as the defense was terrible and the Cubs weren't taking advantage on offense.

So he was sharp for the 1st two innings, unlucky in the 3rd, and fell apart after that and you say that he pitched well?
