Ryan Dempster has been shockingly effective in his two starts. 13 IP, 4 hits, 4 BB, 2R (1 ER), 10 K. Kudos.
― felicity, Saturday, 12 April 2008 19:26 (thirteen years ago) link
not really shocked cuz dempster showed #3-type stuff in relief last year, mixing in a lot of above avg pitches but nothing super-special; having him in the bp was kind of confounding to me. havent seen him yet this year but my guess is that he'll be a quality starter
― deeznuts, Saturday, 12 April 2008 19:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah the shock is from years of mis-having him as a closer.

Back then, you didn't know whether you'd HAVE your throwing arm the next day -- lost to the combine out on the back forty, or combat, or what have you. You just threw like hell, left everything out there on the mound.

daniel cabrera, the consecutive reigning AL walks champion, pitched his third game WITHOUT issuing a walk this season last night. his three-peat is in peril as he has now tumbled out of the top ten on the heels of his 8th straight quality start.

basically they drove him into the ground for their own benefit, e.g. making him throw 134 pitches on short rest, from which his injury history may or may not stem

Because of a doubleheader, it’s only going to go 7 innings and thus can’t count as one. But through 5 Matz has only walked two.

if a pitcher throws 9 hitless innings and allows a hit in the 10th it’s not a no-hitter, so it follows that a complete-game 7-inning no-hitter IS a no-hitter
