GDT(1/4): Toronto Blue Jays @ Oakland Athletics - Dickey vs. Gray - 9:05 PM ET

[Daniel Labude]

If you place the blame on Dickey for that inning, then baseball may not be the best sport for you to follow

 

Obviously you have never pitched...dickey will blame himself for the inning because he walked the leadoff batter

[guylaroche5]

kawasaki is the coolest

[pickoff22]

Dickey is tied for 5th in the league in BB surrendered. Only Burnett, Masterson, Jimenez and Shelby Miller have surrendered more BB.

 

I would have guessed Dickey was up there, but I'm surprised who the other 4 are. Some decent names

[Anemic0ffense]

Well on the bright side, none of them look like they have SIGNIFICANT injuries. Should be a couple 15 day DL stints but nothing too bad.

 

15 Day DL trips in the middle of a pennant race are crushing.

[saskjayfan]

Dickey gave up the runs...he is pitching. If he doesnt walk the first batter none of the above may have happened.

 

it was 1 earned run.....you can debate whether it should have been 1 run or 0....but there's no way both those runs were on dickey.

Competent defence gets him out of the inning. Walks suck, but they happen. LF and the passed ball are the culprits here.

A pitcher being delusional doesnt make him right. Once the ball leaves the pitchers hand, the results of the play are out of his control.

[Daniel Labude]

Giving up runs is not all about pitching you douche.

 

Kiss my ass

[pickoff22]

Obviously you have never pitched...dickey will blame himself for the inning because he walked the leadoff batter

 

Obviously you have never played left field. EE will blame himself for the inning because he should have easily got the second out and no run would have scored.

 

Obviously you have never played catcher. Those will blame himself for the inning because he should have easily caught that passed ball and no second run would have scored.

[Jonzo]

C'mon Gose, do something.

[Anemic0ffense]

Gose blows

[Jonzo]

Wow.

[John_Havok]

That curve is filthy...

[Inklink]

Down he Gose.

[Candy Maldonado]

I hate you Gose so much.

[Convo]

I f***ing hate RA DICKEY. That is all.

There is no blame on edwin unless he drops a pop up. The ball was hit almost to the wall. When rasmus fails to catch those its because its a great hit...same should apply to a 1B playing LF

[Stangstag]

15 Day DL trips in the middle of a pennant race are crushing.

 

Playoff-caliber teams should be able to overcome a few 15 day DL stints. And its July, not September.

[pickoff22]

I f***ing hate RA DICKEY. That is all.

 

Fair. He's been pretty good today though.

[S33n]

Over under on RA Dickey BB this inning: 0.5. Who's got what?

[Stangstag]

Oh my god just f*** off already.

 

Mods?

[Governator]

C'mon Robert Allen, get 'er done

[Anemic0ffense]

Edwin praying nothing comes his way

There's every bit of blame on EE. That missed play is what caused those runs to score. Was not a great hit at all, was a brutally misplayed ball that led to runs being scored.

[Governator]

Edwin praying nothing comes his way

 

He used up all of those baseball prayers yesterday.

Are you drunk? That ball wasn't almost to the wall.... Edwin took a bad route, he's not a good outfielder. A half competent fielder gets that ball every time. Stop blaming the pitcher for what should honestly have been scored an error. It's like blaming the pitcher for a ball that gets lost in the sun because he should have thrown a pitch that just couldn't be hit a fly. Give it up.

or the manager for sticking him in LF...

[TheHurl]

Dickey would be so much better in this park for 16 starts. He can't get away with that high non-knuckler in the RC

[Daniel Labude]

Oh my god just f*** off already.

 

Mods?

 

My gosh quit it already...if u disagree thats fine, edwin shouldnt be in LF but he also shouldnt be expected to catch a hard hit ball to the wall in my opinion

[Dylan]

Just watched the reviewed play, wow that is messy!! That doesn't happen often, lol
