GDT(1/3): Minnesota Twins @ Toronto Blue Jays - Nolasco vs. Dickey - 7:07 PM ET

[Corporal Valdal]

He will start game 1.

 

Good Lord there is no Jesus shoule be MB

[gruber92]

He is frustrating to watch at times, i'll give you that. But people calling for his head are way overreacting

 

Considering his price tag, they are not overreacting.

[Corporal Valdal]

Ivonka i want you in and around my mouth

[Stangstag]

Well when you give up the type of talent we did, and ended up with someone who performs like a no.4/5 starter, ppl had the right to be pissed.

 

But why be pissed at Dickey? Its not his fault that AA traded D'arnaud and Syndergaard for him.

[Solaxys]

only 51 pitches through two innings.

 

Inb4 225-Pitch Complete Game.

LOL That's fricken awesome. You should've taken screenshots.

 

ECJF posted some... not sure if I saved them lol I'll check

[saskjayfan]

He will start game 1.

 

There's no way...Buehrle would start game 1 if we were to start the playoffs next week. Gibbons will do what is best for the team.

According to many here, his one good year as a starter is considered to be of more value than entire career as a reliever

 

Morrow has more years as a starter than as a reliever, and has better numbers as a starter than as a reliever overall... There is no "Morrow was at one point an 'ace reliever' but the Jays converted him into a starter" argument to be made. He's been inarguably more valuable as a starter than a reliever.

[gruber92]

I doubt he's available today

 

Jenkins long man today?

[Dylan]

Good hustle lawrie, almost beat it out

[Inklink]

He was almost safe yo, at least waddle out there Gibby!

[Captain Adama]

But why be pissed at Dickey? Its not his fault that AA traded D'arnaud and Syndergaard for him.

 

AA gets shat on a lot on this board anyway. Just add Dickey for not performing, let alone up to expectations, and no one was even expecting him to duplicate 2012.

I don't think anybody is pissed at him personally, its his performance.

[Corporal Valdal]

anyone notice we havent used delabar in a while? why is he even still up here ?

[Dylan]

The other frustrating thing about dickey is that he must have his personal catcher taking up a bench spot, luckily thole has contributed nicely so far.

[Deadpool]

What the f*** does this have to do with Dickey getting "paid like an ace"?

 

If I rephrased it to "paid as though he were expected to be the #1 pitcher for the 2014 Toronto Blue Jays, but with the understanding that there are higher paid pitchers of varying quality around the league" make you feel better?

 

Motherf***er is paid as though he should be the best pitcher on this team.

LOL FOUND MY SCREENSHOTS. This is ECJF's trolling in action... so many lols that dat

Why in the God's holy name does RA f***ing Dickey have a personal catcher?????

 

have you seen JPA catch Dickey? that's why. Knuckler is hard to catch.

[o2cui2i]

3rd highest salary on the Jays this season, highest for a pitcher... He makes 2 million less than David Price... He's getting a stupid amount of money that is not at all relative to any reasonable expectation of what an old man with a bad back can do on a baseball diamond.

 

comparative salary is nonsense bro. Jays have a lot of really good salaries. there are only a handful of aces in all of baseball. the Fact of what price makes is completely irrelevant. what he makes doesn't make him an ace. what he does on the field and the expectations of what he will do make an ace.

 

you need to move on bro.

 

and he's 4th.

 

even if you want to go buy pay check, Dickey isn't even in the top 50 for starting pitcher salaries. You're just wrong

[saskjayfan]

Well when you give up the type of talent we did, and ended up with someone who performs like a no.4/5 starter, ppl had the right to be pissed.

 

We gave up D'arnaud and Synder.....we got tricky dickey and Thole. Thole's numbers in the bigs under the age of 25 were better than D'arnaud's have been. Dickey has underperformed, but if he ends the year with an era under 4 and 200 plus innings that's a number 3....we wanted him to be a 1/2...he hasn't been that, but he hasn't been a total flop. Dollars played into things too...we got him at 10 mil per season for an extended time and those are not ace type dollars.

[G-Snarls]

anyone notice we havent used delabar in a while? why is he even still up here ?

 

We've all noticed yes

 

Gibby is smart and knows he can't trust Delabar in any high leverage situations right now. He has been using McGowan as that right hander in big spots.

[Chappy]

Dickey's contract is excellent. The issue is what we gave up for him, not what he is making.

That's a good question. Baltimore is right behind us but Boston is Boston

Buehrle gets paid more. have another drink and give up. your sense of logic is broken.
