Demp and his supposedly terrible contract continued domination, and the dumbass lineup our terrible manager used actually worked. Sun shines on a dogs ass every once in awhile right?

 

Go back to using your good players tomorrow please senile Lou.

Dempsters numbers so far this year

 

2-0 2.60Era 1.08 Whip

 

Yea thats not worth the money hes being paid....

 

its been like a year since anyone complained about his contract

 

Ah, I see you missed the crazy rant earlier this season about how much of a waste Dempster is.

I like winning!

 

I like winning. I hate Dempster. I hate the contract he signed after 08. He’s really nothing more than a slightly above average pitcher whose career year in 08 outwitted Lou the Great (not a hard thing to do) into not using his best pitcher over the course of September AT ALL during the playoffs.

 

To a left-handed batter, Dempster is nothing but a drum. His five year numbers going from 09 back thru 05:

BAA- .281/.243/.259/.310/.278

WHIP – 1.55/1.29/1.53/1.97/1.97

 

For his career (over 1600 IP, not a small sample size) his BAA/WHIP against lefties is .281/1.73.

 

I’m sure Dempster apologists will say he was just coming back from the injury in 05 and 06, but he’s not nor ever will be an elite pitcher. When he struggles with his command against lefties, he’s no more than mediocre. Given his track record, his career year in 08 is understandable since it’s about the only time he’s ever been half competent against them.

The thing is we won that game, and Dempster had like 1 bad inning when he gave up a home run to Braun.

Demp and his supposedly terrible contract continued domination, and the [expletive] lineup our terrible manager used actually worked. Sun shines on a dogs ass every once in awhile right?

In Lous defense, Colvin was 2-5 and Hill 2-4 and Tracy did what Ramirez probably wouldn have done anyway.

 

I really wish there was a way to keep Colvin in the lineup, but as long as Sorianos hot, Byrds productive, and Kosukes not a black hole, hes a 4th or 5th outfielder. As for Hill, as far as backup catchers go, hes pretty good. I dont mind the occasional start, but Geos our starting catcher and should start 4 out of every 5 games.

Actually, he only had like, 2 hits to Lefties and I think 2 more walks. Not great, but one of the lefties was Prince Fielder. Braun (a righty) did nearly all the damage.

Be careful what you wish for. I like Colvin, but I'm not sure he's an everyday starter in the ML.

Maybe not but it is a least looking like it could be possible.
