That was absurd. -
Let's go Demp.
-
Thank you.
-
Send Theriot.

Were all three games Dempster's fault? Depends on your definition of fault. I wouldn't say last night's game was Dempster's fault, but he did take a loss. I was just wondering. Also, we did not lead after 8 innings yesterday. The Dodgers game was his fault though. The 3 games are one against the Pirates where Dempster gave up 1 in the 9th, Cubs wound up losing in extras. The meltdown game against the Mets in a non-save situation, and the game against the Dodgers.

That Soriano play is like in Sporting News Baseball, you just had to run the ball to the centerfield wall, and the guy from first would take off to 2nd, you one hop the ball in from the fence and get him out every time.
-
Soriano should bobble every ball hit to him.
-
Why do you think Dempster is unavailable. Kasper said he's available earlier and Dempster threw less than Howry did yesterday.
-
But yeah, this should definitely be Wuertz or Wood. It would be nice to not have to pitch Marmol 2 innings tomorrow, and unless our offense explodes for 10 runs tomorrow or we just forfeit the game he probably will.
-
Gold Star for me.
-
Dempster threw 17 pitches yesterday, he should be available.
-
I liked the Cliff Floyd from the first half of the game.
-
I don't believe there's any rule against this, so I'd run Hill out to the mound to start the 8th, make Houston show their hand with their pinch hitter, then go to Ohman or Wood depending on the handedness of the hitter. Wood then finishes the inning. Dempster closes.
-
Rich Hill is the best starting pitcher on the Cubs.
-
Please don't panic here Lou. He'll be fine.

Have you heard Stone on WSCR? He would probably be the worst GM. Have you seen some of the actions of current GMs? Granted Littlefield is gone now, but Jim Bowden and Wayne Krivsky are still gainfully employed. Whoever's running Baltimore now too.(Duquette? though whoever it is, I'd blame Angelos more than anyone else.) Isn't Andy MacPhail the Baltimore GM? i thought he was the team prez? Yes. The GM is Mike Flanagan. STILL??
-
I think I could put one in the Crawford Boxes.
-
Pence ran in on it. He misplayed it. Possible, maybe likely he doesn't catch it, but he definitely misplayed it somewhat.

Hard to give Ramirez an error on that, and they pretty much never give an error to a first baseman on a scoop.(which I disagree with, it's part of their job, that's an error on Lee.) I'd give the error to Ramirez. He made a good play fielding the grounder, but he had enough time to get the runner by a step or two. He made a bad throw, so to me that's an error. The throw bounced, but it was right on line, that's an easy scoop that most first baseman make. considering that lee is one of the best in the game at scooping balls in the dirt, i don't see how you can say that "most first basemen" make that play Wasn't phrased correctly, that play is made by the average 1B 95% of the time. Even the best in the business don't get it done every single oppurtunity(hence why I say it's an error on Lee.) There aren't many easier scoops than that one.(bounced a little too close to the bag) Is it your belief that every throw that doesn't get there on a fly that isn't handled cleanly is an error on the thrower?
-
Yes, but I disagree with the notion he should be starting right now.
-
I'm guessing the source of people wanting Stone as GM is Steve Stone. I'm guessing Stone's making clear he has no interest in being a GM is based on the actual interest in his GMing. Don't get me wrong, he wouldn't be the worst GM in baseball, but the other awful GMs get their chances because they've worked their way up through the system making excellent coffee.

I wouldn't be terribly opposed to taking him out as a precaution and letting Ward finish out the game.
