Dempster has sucked ever since his daughter got sick.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
He has quality starts in 6 of his last 7 starts. I wouldn't say that's sucking.

Yeah. Dempster has been pitching much better lately. This hurts us.

I guess I didn't realize that he had turned it around recently. This hurts only because Harden is starting to look really hittable.

Hey, look at me I'm the guy who doesn't look up stats and just goes off the last game he saw the guy pitch.

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] He hasn't been dominant or anything lately, but he's been solid like Rok said. I absolutely agree with you that what is going on with his daughter certainly isn't helping him though, I think it's amazing he's been able to pitch as well as he has considering that.

And yeah, Harden's the real problem in all of this. If he could just be somewhere between what he's been this year and last year, he'd be just fine. Last start was particularly annoying because of how good he looked in the previous start at Pittsburgh, best fastball he's had all year.
