Dempster Vs. DiGeorge Syndrome

By bullpenbrian - April 7, 2010 - 12:15 am Leave a comment.

Ryan Dempster had a fantastic spring…2-0, 2.13 ERA and a team-leading 25 strikeouts.

But here’s the rub…in 26 career games vs. Atlanta–including 15 starts–he’s just 2-11 all time against the Bravos!

The pressure, of course, is on Dempster after Monday’s embarrassment.

But this pales in comparison to what the right-hander endured last spring with his newborn daughter, Riley, suffering from a rare disease that affects her ability to swallow and digest.
