Yeah. I don't know why he stuck with Dempster for so long. He did the same thing in game 1 of the NLDS. It's pretty obvious when Dempster doesn't have it. His fastball sails up and he can't find the zone.

The BB is really becoming a problem for him. Last season was such an outlier it's ridiculous. Walks in general have killed us all year, actually they've been a problem for a long long time. Dempster and Marmol are the poster boys for walks killing a team.
