    Ryan Dempster has better numbers.

    Don't think you should pick starters based on W-L

    But if you are going to go with W-L, might as well go with Gio Gonzalez since he has better numbers and a similar record.

    But for the record, my more serious answer is Matt Cain.

    His 0.94 WHIP is obscene.

    I am not knocking Dickey at all, it's just that Gonzalez has been better.

    gio only one I'd consider, Dickey is the man and should be pitching a no no infield hit could easily been ruled an error

    Stats are stats man.

    W-L is pointless when Dempster is on the Cubs. Dempster's WHIP and ERA is better than Dickey's, so no point in laughing.

    I used to be a mets die hard but gave up on them and ever since Dickey came up i thought he was going to be a flash in the pan but he just keeps proving himself over and over.

    Think him and Gonzalez are neck and neck

    Don't laugh at Dempster, he sits just outside the top 10 in the majors in FIP right now. It's not his fault Cubs offense is putrid. By the way, Gio and Greinke have been 1-2 in FIP practically all year, although they keep swapping positions.

    Dempster is also the best road pitcher starter in baseball currently.

    1.06 ERA in 42.1 innings on the road for Demp. He seems to not like Wrigley this year, a little strange.

    Dempster will absolutely be traded, and I think that if he stays out of the AL East then he could really help someone. I'm more curious as to what the Cubs could land for him though, obviously.

    Is Dickey's ERA really sustainable though?

    Hitters have a .653 OPS against him, which isn't that far below the league average. Hitters have a .578 OPS against Dempster.

    I wouldnt look at OPS to tell weather a pitcher can sustain an era or not. Would look at strand rates, xfip xERA line drive rate, gb fb ratio etc

    I don't understand how a Tampa team that was playing great baseball goes home to get blown out by a Mets team who just got swept?

    Does that make any sense?

    RA was doing it last year too. Just didnt get as much attention. Not to this level tho, he is getting way more strike outs this year.

    Actually Dickey only had 1 bad start in Atlanta in that day game where it was raining like crazy. You take that game out of the equation and they guy has a 1.80 era. Freaking amazing for a guy that didn't even throw a knuckball when he came into the league.

    Dickey shoulda been credited with a no hitter tonight. Uptons hit shoulda been scored an error in the 1st.
