7/28 Astros (Oswalt) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05 WGN

[E.J.]

Dempster don't swing at all!!!!

 

there you go...

[Old Style]

Way to bail him out, Dempster.

[Friendly Confines]

I'm definitely going to watch both the cubs and sox games on mlbtv.

[bcl412]

I'm fine with not pinch hitting there. It's still really early and you don't want to burn your entire bench now. If you can't score a few more on the Astros pen when they have to pitch 5 more innings you don't deserve the game anyways.

[Keener98]

Are you kidding Lou?

 

I am in favor of Lou's move. I have a hell alot more confidence in Johnson than Fontinot.

 

I just dont like using 2 bench guys in the 4th inning. I would have ph Baker so you only use 1

 

I would have more confidence on Johnson than I would in Baker, regardless.

 

Baker is a career 900 OPS vs Leftys.

[illiniguy]

Dempster is an idiot. He should be taking til he gets two strikes every at bat.

[JonJayCutler]

Don't blame Lou for not going to a PH there. We don't have an off-day until August 6th and last night was a long night for the bullpen. We got ourselves a ballgame though. Shutdown inning here is a must.

[bcl412]

I hate you Keppinger.

[Keener98]

Come on Dempster, damnit, shut them down at 4

I know stats aren't kept on this sort of thing, but I'd like to see the rate in which Cubs opponents score a run in their next AB after a multiple-run inning.

I'm more concerned about this year than career.

 

This year, Baker is OPS'ing .773 against leftys.

 

Johnson is OPS'ing .814 against leftys.

Yeah, I really want to see that stat.

[Coach C]

[expletive] Dempster!

[PrimeTime]

Jesus Christ...Good job Demp...Your team scores some runs and you just piss it away again

[bcl412]

Dempster is really bad tonight.

[cubbieblue12]

Send him back to the DL.

Probably just about the exact same # as other teams.

 

IF NOT FOR THE CURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bukie]

Dempster is like a 5-inning version of 2008 Bob Howry tonight. No wonder Lou can't help but keep him in there.

[illiniguy]

I love the damage control they do for certain guys. How bout just laying it out there. Dempster has been very underwhelming this year.
