04/28 Cubs (Dempster) @ D'Backs (Enright) 08:40 CT WGN

[Vanilla Ice]

Not really sure if the Cubs are going with Coleman or Dempster, but cubs.com has Dempster listed.

 

Looks like a battle of the redheads

Ryan Dempster

(1-2) 7.61 ERA and 3.71 xFIP

 

Glad Soto and Castro got the day off without actually having to miss a game

From what I read Dempster is starting, with Coleman pushed back to Sunday, when Russell would have been scheduled to start.

Ryan, this would be a very good time to stop sucking.

Also, Quade, if Dempster gets in trouble in the 5th or 6th inning and has thrown over 100 pitches, pull him!

Especially if he's up in a key run-scoring situation and it's clear he's already gassed.

And Jackson will probably be called up to start on Monday in LA

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, hey, way to suck, Quade.

[otis89]

Absolutely no reason for Hill to be starting.

[TruffleShuffle]

so jeff baker is batting #3 against a RHP? and maybe we should keep playing the guy who has a .552 OBP.

We are, he's hitting leadoff.

[TruffleShuffle]

i can't read #-o

[Sammy Sofa]

Blinded by rage.

seeing koyie hill's name in a lineup causes me to black out for 10 minutes. when i wake up there's usually a dead body at my feet and i'm covered in blood.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I understand that your starting catcher needs an off day here and there, but he got one yesterday, so theres no reason to look for opportunities to get the exceptionally light hitting backup in there.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Dempster trying to put this one out of reach early?

[Schwarber Fan]

=D>

[CUBZ99]

Right over the middle on an 0-2 pitch?

[NotSoSober]

Dempster isn't even going to wait 'til the 5th inning to [expletive] this one up. What the [expletive] happened to him

[NotSoSober]

Riggins has done a great job so far this year :roll:

[Little Slide Rooter]

Welp, looks like Quade went and left Dempster in too long again.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Another stellar start for the Cobs. Glad I don't have to stay up late watching this game tonight.

Too much time working on his standup routine.

[illiniguy]

When do we put Dempster in the bullpen? Or do we just do that type stuff to Z?
