GDT(1/4): Toronto Blue Jays @ Tampa Bay Rays - Dickey vs. Price - 4:10 PM ET

[G-Snarls]

Hutch came up to sign some autographs and he said "I gotta sign quick, I don't have long"

 

and I was like "Hey Drew, could you sign my ball"

 

And he took my ball and I was like "Thanks man"

 

and Drew was like "Yeah no problem man"

 

Cool

[G-Snarls]

It was a baseball?

 

LOL

 

Good one

[G-Snarls]

You live in Florida??

 

He is down in FLA with family according to previous posts

[GD]

Jose Molina was usually good for an autograph.

 

I'll never forget the time A.J. Burnett stayed and signed for every single person of a crowd that must have been at least 150 people. It was spanning multiple sections and rows. Love A.J.

No, on vacation.

 

 

 

Yes.

 

 

 

Bautista signed, I didn't expect him to. He signed in the dugout though and had security guards pass him the stuff to sign from above the dugout......

 

Nice!! I still have a glove signed by Travis Snider lol

Bautista never signs outside of events. I have a LOT of autographs and I've never gotten a live one from him. You're very lucky on that count.

Bitch I have a glove signed by Brandon League

Can you trade it for a Morrow signed glove?? lol

I have a Brandon Morrow signed photo in that sexy black alt jersey right beside my bed that I've had since shortly after he was acquired. Realistically, he probably won't be amazing, but I really, really hope he does well.

He will be, he's in that lowkey #4 spot

[G-Snarls]

LOL @ the signed glove throw down boys. Hahahahaha

[jayswin11]

I had signed d'Arnaud and Syndergaard gloves, but I traded them for an old bike. The bike isn't very fast but it's kinda wobbly so I thought it was cool. Regardless the bike isn't as cool as I thought it was going to be so I should probably just get rid of it. Maybe I can trade it for a glove signed by a player to be named later.

Did anyone notice Dickey's top knuckleball velocity? In his 2010-2011 years he was able to throw up around 82 with his 'faster' knuckleball... last year he was peaking around 80 or so I observed. Obviously this wasn't really the problem tonight considering his poor command... so just wondering.

It's too bad for Dickey, he's a stand-up guy who goes out there and gives it all he's got, like Buehrle. It's not his fault AA went full retard and overpaid the way he did to get him.

agreed

[Convo]

agreed

 

I liked that he didn't make any real excuses this time...

[G-Snarls]

Moogy: Time to move on instead of re-hashing last night's arguments

 

That's tiresome

[gruber92]

We weren't expecting to win the opening game anyway guys. Hutch will give a solid start tomorrow and we'll win 4-2. The Rays offense is nothing special,just don't walk anybody. They scored all their runs on Dickey and Jeffress ,big deal. Lets see what they can do against Hutch and the rest of the pen. I still say we split the series.

 

Anything else?

Why are you replying to yourself?

s***, can't get anything by such a clever boy like you.

Do you really need more dislikers?

Good point. The one thing about those guys that I love is they go out there and pitch every fifth day. It's not their fault they're called on to lead a rotation to a division championship. Still very useful SP's to have.

So having a little fun with the prediction I made is not considered acceptable behavior here? Why do you feel the need to trash? You insecure about something, I don't get it.

Huh? I never did anything to you, man you're defensive.

It's already been mentioned but more vaguely, so thought I'd share this. Dickey's max KN velocity was 77.8, he averaged 74.9 with it. Last season he was maxing out around 80-81 but the average was just slightly higher at 75.8. Though the average is a loopy stat to go with since I'm pretty sure Dickey throws a soft, medium, and hard KN intentionally.
