Whoa. Just read through the thread so far. What's up with Dempster?

[Friendly Confines]

Is Koyie Hill becoming Z's personal catcher?

[rynefan]

Ok, just went to cubs.com and saw that Demp fractured his toe climbing over the dugout fence.... oh, brother! Didn't he climb fences as a kid?

[tinkerstoeverstochance]

I like the line up

 

 

anyone have Z's numbers when the fish got called up a couple years ago and was his his catcher of choice?

[tinkerstoeverstochance]

he's from Canada

[UMFan83]

Good day as any to rest Bradley and Soto. Just wish Fox could have found his way in the of. It's almost like management is reassuring Hoff that Fox hasn't passed him up on the depth chart. Either that or they are only playing Fox with lefties in which case that'd suck.

I think it's a matter of being more comfortable with Hoff in the of and facing a rhp.

yup. Z should have been out of the inning. Quite annoying since 1 run was all Vazquez needed last time. That said if we get shut out we won't win anyways.
