Man, all those home runs sure don't help Josh Hamilton's BABIP.

That is fine if you don't want to believe in it, but there is pretty solid evidence for my position.

Dempster with a huge grab in self defense.

I understand where you coming from. I just thought you like that lol

Dempster has looked real shaky all night. I know they will get another inning out of him, but still think that perhaps you take him down in that spot in the fifth.

I think you do it if you have a good bullpen. The Cubs do not have a good bullpen.

As a whole the bullpen has not been bad. It is really just the backend from the start of the season that has really struggled. I think you could get four innings out of the bullpen.

Prearranged deal. Nothing they could do about it.

That and the whole connection with Jerry Narron (pretty sure that was the guy the Reds had at the time) was a big part of Hamilton's emergence at the big league level. The Cubs didn't have that guy to make Hamilton comfortable the way the Reds did.

i know. Then CIN blows it by trading him for Volquez lol

Made sense for the Reds since they had so much offense and needed the pitching. They just picked the wrong pitcher from the Rangers.

Cardenas can play DEF :elephant:

Bleacherbum said it before he got here, and what I saw in Iowa suggests he can be steady at 2B. It is the other infield spots that I am not so sure about.
