Sox @ Cubs ESPN 8 ET

HaloFever004 · Jun 22, 2008

Alright, let's get a thread started on this game. What is everyone feeling on this game? Heavy lean towards Dempster and the Cubs for the sweep right now.

Mr.Cover123 · Jun 22, 2008

Cubs are my game of the month, but with that said you should take the White Sox then.

I like Theriot speed at the bottom of the lineup.

Vazquez gave up 5 ERs to Pittsburgh... I mean, that speaks for itself.

terps13 · Jun 22, 2008

Anyone with a solid wind update?

Mr.Cover123 · Jun 22, 2008

Cubs 9-0 when Dempster starts at home, 13 game home win streak, and White Sox 0-8 in their last 8 road games.

I don't see how you can go against the Cubs.

MrRogers · Jun 22, 2008

cubs yes....over or under????

a153 · Jun 22, 2008

Why is this total only 9 these pitchers arent good and both teams hitting well.

Yeah Dempster's 2.76 ERA is pathetic

HaloFever004 · Jun 22, 2008

Dempster isn't as good as the numbers say he is. He throws way too many pitches and lasts maybe 6 innings. Vazquez also stinks.

Career ERA 4.68 he will come back down to earth, stop acting like this guy is a top pitcher

this is pretty much my game of the month too... got 7 units tied up on it as it is the 4th leg of my parlay and a straight bet as well. GO CUBBIES!!!!

Ryan Dempster has an interesting matchup against the white-hot White Sox, whose .922 June OPS is by far the best mark of any team. Dempster himself is a surprising sixth in the majors in ERA and tied for 20th in strikeouts, and he will be facing a short-handed Sox squad with Paul Konerko on the disabled list and Jim Thome likely only available for pinch-hit duty due to the lack of a DH. Dempster has been the beneficiary of a woefully soft schedule, and it's a good idea to see how Dempster does against a legitimate offense before feeling comfortable; not many 31-year-olds have career years, after all.

and dempster has been quality almost every time out lately. if you've been watching baseball in 2008 you'd see.

Fukudome's patience rubbing off with Cubs

Special to ESPN.com

Updated: June 22, 2008

Editor's note: Inside Edge is a professional scouting service that supplies reports and tools regularly used by major league teams. The following look ahead is based on its scouting data.
THREE THINGS TO WATCH: SUNDAY

Fukudome

1. Has Fukudome's patience influenced other Cubs hitters?

Kosuke Fukudome was known for his plate discipline from his career .397 on-base percentage in Japan, and his .405 OBP this season with the Cubs is seventh in the National League through Saturday. But Fukudome is not the only Cubs hitter with a stellar on-base percentage. Aramis Ramirez (.401), Ryan Theriot (.387) and Mark DeRosa (.378) also rank in the NL top 20 and have improved since last season. The Cubs' .358 OBP is the best in the majors and a big improvement over 2007's subpar .333 team OBP. The patient Fukudome rarely chases bad pitches and swings on just 62 percent of pitches in the strike zone, well below the 67 percent league average. Chicago's high OBP suggests that other hitters in the order have emulated his approach, but not all Cubs have been inspired by Fukudome's plate discipline. Hitters who have seen their OBP improve are all swinging less and seeing more pitches per plate appearance this season: <table class="tableheadFixWidth" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="450"> <tbody><tr class="stathead" style="background: rgb(0, 0, 0) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"> <td colspan="5">Higher 2008 OBP</td> </tr> <tr class="colhead" valign="top"> <td>HITTER</td> <td>'07 SWING%</td> <td>'07 P/PA</td> <td>'08 SWING%</td> <td>'08 P/PA</td> </tr> <tr class="oddrow" valign="top"> <td>DeRosa</td> <td>45.4</td> <td>4.0</td> <td>41.3</td> <td>3.9</td> </tr> <tr class="evenrow" valign="top"> <td>Ramirez</td> <td>50.0</td> <td>3.7</td> <td>46.2</td> <td>4.1</td> </tr> <tr class="oddrow" valign="top"> <td>Theriot</td> <td>40.1</td> <td>3.6</td> <td>37.4</td> <td>3.7</td> </tr> </tbody></table>  The two regulars from last year with lower OBPs in 2008 have gone in the opposite direction and swung at more pitches:  <table class="tableheadFixWidth" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="450"> <tbody><tr class="stathead" style="background: rgb(0, 0, 0) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"> <td colspan="5">Lower 2008 OBP</td> </tr> <tr class="colhead" valign="top"> <td>HITTER</td> <td>'07 SWING%</td> <td>'07 P/PA</td> <td>'08 SWING%</td> <td>'08 P/PA</td> </tr> <tr class="oddrow" valign="top"> <td>Lee</td> <td>40.3</td> <td>4.0</td> <td>41.6</td> <td>3.9</td> </tr> <tr class="evenrow" valign="top"> <td>Soriano</td> <td>58.1</td> <td>3.7</td> <td>52.1</td> <td>3.5</td> </tr></tbody></table>  Both the aggressive and patient approaches could work for the Cubs tonight against White Sox starter Javier Vazquez on ESPN "Sunday Night Baseball." Vazquez throws strikes in early counts (0-0, 0-1 and 1-0) and opponents have .350 batting and .567 slugging averages in these counts, both above average. Vazquez also has allowed a .386 batting average and .636 slugging percentage in hitter's counts, again above league averages.

I just laid $1,000 on the White Sox. I have played them each game of this series so they have to get it done tonight. I also like the fact the touts are all over the CUBS. GO WHITE SOX!!

Dempster will be lucky to last 5 innings.
