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

[Trouba95]

Dickey has to change speeds on the knuckler. Can't always throw the firm one.

[Chappy]

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

 

Cheer for Boston. We need as much distance as possible from the next best team in the division.

[Deadpool]

and he's 4th.

 

Yeah, 'caught that, dunno how I misread that, but multitasking... Regardless, the overall cost of R.A. Dickey was far greater than what the expected return could possibly have been. They have made him the opening day starter twice now, which implies that the team as a whole expects him to be the best pitcher in the rotation, and he's been exceptionally sub par with those expectations in mind.

 

I simply dislike having R.A. Dickey on the Jays and I am going to continue to be vocal about it until he is gone, or he does something to change my mind about it. If he was brought in to be a #4 starter, I would be pleased with the results, he was not and I am not.

 

All will NOT be forgiven by me if he does go another 6 shutout innings.

[G-Snarls]

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

 

Exactly

 

He's making Scott Feldman money

 

But cost us a probable 1/2 caliber young starter

 

I think D'Arnaud is going to bust but it still hurts. We probably could have had any of a number of starters for the same package.

[Trouba95]

There ya go Dickey. That's what we want to see more of.

[Inklink]

First clean inning, good job. Down to 20 pitches/inning.

[Chappy]

a terrible bus crash for both teams?

 

That is really f***ed up man.

Dickey gets close to anything firm and he'll write another chapter in his next book.

Cheer for a meteor to slam in the ballpark

[Dylan]

Who tips a visor???

[shortstop]

cheering for the O's...want the defending champs to fall very far behind; when they're 'out', i'll cheer for them against division rivals...

[Inklink]

I thought that head-nod would be gone with the country day promo, but guess not.

 

WTF how's that a strike.

[G-Snarls]

Good inning Dickey

[o2cui2i]

[Solaxys]

Ummmmm...have you seen JPA catch anyone? That guy makes catching anything difficult

 

lol most of the time he failed at catching was because he was arrogant, so he reached instead of blocking the ball etc...

 

But the first time Dickey pitched to him, he looked like a tool because it was so hard for him - as is for a lot of catchers who don't practice catching it.

Navarro can't do s***; Kratz is a fastball-inclined catcher --- both being risque for Dickey.

[Angrioter]

Frank Viola III debut as a Knuckleballer

3 scoreless, HBP, 2 walks, 4 K's (Groundouts-flyouts: Viola 4-1)

It's OK guys, they met twice in Nashville over the winter. We OK.

golfers in gay pants tip their visors?

That's why I haven't given up on him. He shows periods of brilliance so you know it's still in there.

[Trouba95]

What's the consensus here, Orioles or BoSox?

[Chappy]

Dickey will go on a huge roll at some point. He will always have his ups and downs, but when he is going right he is devastating.

[Corporal Valdal]

AA better f***ing tweek this team in the next week or two and i mean fast do it i dont care what it takes this is our year

[Dylan]

What's the consensus here, Orioles or Sox?
