Game 50 Thread - Dempster vs. Bass

Submitted by Rob G. on

The Cubs go for the sweep and Dempster hopes to be awarded his first win of the season.

Padres Cubs
*Venable, CF
 *DeJesus, RF
#Cabrera, SS Castro, SS
*Alonso, 1B
 Mather, CF
Quentin, LF
 *LaHair, 1B
#Headley, 3B
 Soriano, LF
Denorfia, RF
 *Stewart, 3B
Hundley, C
 Barney, 2B
*Amarista, 2B
 *Clevenger, C
Bass, P
 Dempster, P

Fun facts: If Dempster does not win today, it'll be his 18th straight start without a win, a feat not done by a Cub pitcher since 1991-1992.

wait for it...

Danny Jackson.

I have to say, Shark has really impressed. I notice he's 16th in MLB in pVORP. I'm especially surprised by his consistency - after those two tough starts in mid-April he has had seven excellent starts in a row, six of them quality starts.

Bud Black goofiness... Barney steals on an 0-2 count (ended up being a wild pitch so he would have taken 2nd anyway). 1-2 count on Clevenger and decides to go after him instead of intentional walk. Clevenger singles in the run.

Rob G. it should be Mather at 3B and Campana in CF. Sveum is right when he says try someone who can provide a little slugging, but he's replaced the wrong player. Campana wasn't the problem. LaHair was figured out, Stewart's bat slowed down, Castro forced everything, and we didn't have a catcher. Mather did deserve a shot at sometime. His at bats were impressive. So, put him at 3B for a while. He looks pretty comfortable over there. Better than Baker. That would have taken away a lefty bat in the lineup. We still would have had DeJesus, LaHair, and Campana instead of Stewart or Baker. Not like this would make the lineup .500 worthy, but it sounds better to me.

Stewart isn't the problem either, he has an .800 OPS in May which is what people should be expecting. There's no great options or anything, but Campana had slowed down significantly since his hot start, worst OPS among the regulars. His OBP wasn't too great either if you want to discount his slugging entirely. 267/323/333 in May with 14 K in 60 AB's, 6 R, 5 BB Stewart 238/333/463 in May with 13 K, 11 R, 8 BB in 67 AB's Campana's nifty when he gets on-base and is getting lucky, but crying over him starting is silly. The team sucked with him and they suck without him in the lineup. His future is the bench, might as well get use to it. Not that I'm advocating Mather either, cause his future is even dimmer. But neither is worth caring about who starts.

My friend in Columbus, GA said that the sports radio guys down there are all talking about Dempster to the Braves. Food for thought.

Jim Callis‏@jimcallisBA Heard that #Cubs are working out Correa and Fried today. Not sure Correa makes it to them

from what little I know of these players, my current hope is Zimmer magically falls to them at #6 and they take Giolito with a supplemental pick and pay the tax since they saved some major league payroll money this year. Obviously w/o paying him too much or the rest of their first 10 round picks that it would cost them a draft pick.

I know it's trendy to trash on former Cubs prospects once they leave the system, but Cashner has the most hittable 100mph fastball since Billy Koch.

he doesn't have a real out pitch. he doesn't throw his fastball for an out pitch. it's kinda hard to set up a 90mph "circle change" with nothing but a fastball even if it is 100mph when they both don't have much movement on them.

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 05/30/2012 - 05:50 pm

- C. Denorfia in right field - W. Venable in right field - W. Venable in right field - C. Maybin in center field - C. Denorfia in left field - A. Amarista at third - A. Parrino at second - D. Thayer relieved A. Cashner lulz, gameday.

Did anybody notice that the same guy who caught Quentin's first home run and chucked it back on the field also caught Barney's walk-off dinger? He was in the first row of the left-center field bleachers, wearing a red long sleeved shirt (with a fielder's glove) and there was a girl in a red-and-white striped "Where's Waldo" shirt sitting immediately to his left. Caught both taters on the fly. What a great day at the ball park for him!

    Well, game 29 on the year was a hell of a game. That felt like a throwback, too. I had a feeling Morel had a shot at catching up to that fastball.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts/details on Carico and/or JP Wheat?

    MIL loses!

    cubs finally get to sole control of 1st place in the central.

  • crunch (view)

    MIL out here stealing 3rd with 1 out and down by 1 in the bottom 9th.

    it worked.  this MIL team is annoyingly fun to watch so far this year...

  • crunch (view)

    it took him 24 pitches, 2 walks, 2 Ks...but he got it done.  woo.

  • azbobbop (view)

    Full pack!

  • crunch (view)

    neris still doesn't have his command/control...

    i don't expect it to dog him all season, much like i don't expect alzolay to be a HR machine.

    i'll take alzolay over neris to close out a game, though...over leiter, too.

  • crunch (view)

    MOREL HR!  his first homer in like, 3 years or something...or feels like it.

    top of the 9th, 2 run shot off f'n diaz to break the tie.

  • crunch (view)

    swanson breaks it up in the 8th with a single.

  • crunch (view)

    1h and 6 minutes to get through 6 innings.

    also, the cubs are getting no-hit.  neat.
