Ryan Dempster has been shockingly effective in his two starts. 13 IP, 4 hits, 4 BB, 2R (1 ER), 10 K. Kudos.

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 (eleven years ago) Permalink
Yeah the shock is from years of mis-having him as a closer.

i mean ok i guess there are dimensions where poncedeleon works 5-pitch innings in the 8th and 9th and gets gatorade dumped on him after throwing a 126 pitch no-hitter. but in the larger scheme of things, it's his debut, it's a mid-july game for two teams that aren't making the playoffs

If it's endangering a career, then yeah, but is it always? Pitchers throw a lot! Maybe there are occasions where they can just take fewer long tosses in the outfield the next day or something. (Not saying this was such an occasion - 116 pitches after seven innings is an awful lot and he's a kid.)
