Well that was a terrific pitch Demps. There is up in the zone and there is served up in the zone. That was disgusting.

5 demerits to MJantomaso for f'ing with mojo.

 

I may have to PM him for hanging my ass out to dry like this.

Eventually Demps got so tired of seeing balls buzzing past his ears that he started throwing balls into the ground in an effort to keep it down. That didn't work either as he still could not throw it over the plate and down in the zone.

This is the first time I can remember Dempster this year totally incapable of keeping the ball down.....AT ALL! The M's could have 5 more very quickly if Farrell does not get him outta' there. I would let him start the next inning cause we are so depleted in the pen. But if he still can't keep the ball down and gets two guys on, I might be tempted to get him out while we could still get back into this game. Somebody should be able to get these guys out. It's still the M's.

You must not remember that span of starts when he really struggled. His stuff was up all the time.

I told him this weeks ago, he said otherwise. Dempster have had location issues since May. His walks is also too much along with the HR ball.

I just don't remember Demps completely incapable of keeping it down. An inning yes....several pitches in an inning yes...just not hopelessly incapable like this. Farrell has to get him out next inning if guys get on base, especially on pitches up as we will need a calculator to count the runs if he stays up like this. That is really what I was saying when we had this discussion last time. He never (as I recall) got into the situation he is in today where he simply cannot get it down and he CANNOT pitch up. Nothing he throws gets by hitters when he is up...much like the way Cook was.

Get somebody up or we are headed for double digits.

 

Demps has not gotten a single ball down yet this inning...please get him out of the game.

 

I would have stalled for time rather than have him pitch to ibanez.
