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

[Guest]

Overall, I think Hill is calling a good game so far.

 

This outing is really going to hurt his CERA.

 

Dempster's ERA is 189 for the game and his WHIP is 24. Unlike some of those other stats that were wildly off, that one isn't made up.

i say we unban gvillecub to unload on dempster for this performance.

[woodchip2153]

at least we're hitting the ball hard.

[Mark Priors Calves]

Koyie Hill has an OPS+ of 7.

Man this year could get bad in a hurry. I wonder at what point we decide to start selling?

[NotSoSober]

lol @ Bob......."Everybody?" :-)

funny article title on the cubs front page:

 

"Quade Looks For Dempster to Shake His Struggles"

[Tryptamine]

So who can we look forward to getting in the draft next year?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have scored 8 or more runs in a game 3 times in their first 23 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I wonder at what point we decide to start selling?

Either that or Hendry mortgages the farm for a journeyman veteran starting pitcher.

[Sammy Sofa]

I never understand why people bring the idea of the Cubs selling early. They're not going to trade anyone major until near the deadline unless a great deal is dumped in their laps, and that's if they sell at all. This division is, for better or for worse, crappy enough that Cashner and Wells coming back and being decent that they could technically be competitive long enough that the front office refuses to "quit" by selling.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ha! Koyie Hill!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Koyie Hill ? :shock:

Great. And now Soto is off for the week.

Bob and Len picked a good day to have a food fest. Something interesting anyway

[NotSoSober]

More airtime for the lollipop girl, less time showing this disaster of a team

+1

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-0 when Koyie Hill starts...... 8-13 when he doesn't.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Glad I didn't start Demp tonight.

 

I know, I know... NOBODY CARES ABOUT MY FANTASY TEAM!

 

but seriously, phantom DL him at this point and figure out what the hell is wrong. He shouldn't be THIS bad if he's healthy.

[gus_dog]

This team is just brutal right now. Not fun to watch at all. JMHO.

[CUBZ99]

The good news out of tonight, is that Justin Berg is going to AAA tomorrow.

You are probably correct, but I really don't see a scenario where this team scores a ton of runs consistently. I do believe that their pitching will improve, and I sure hope they can correct the defencive lapses. That offence though, is going to have its struggles unless they add a big bat in the middle of the lineup.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have given up 6 BBs already tonight. They have given up 6 or more BBs 7 times in their 23 games. Their season high is 10.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hey, we're getting better !!! D'backs didn't score that inning !!!

 

 

[ducks]

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

See there..... Enright is scared of Koyie Hill !!! ;)

 

 

Go CUBS !!
