Dickey Is Officially Below Replacment Level

[FrozenRopes]

Good effort, gotta beat these bottom dwellers. Slipping away quickly.

EE's shoulder isn't right, if possible he should sit the next 3 games and get an 8 day stretch off. Only problem will be his already messed up timing will be worse after the break.

Did you read something about his shoulder today?

No, about 2 weeks ago he'd grab it after swings, he was swinging with one hand (not his 2 handed swing), and I assume it hasn't healed fully though he isn't grabbing anymore. I just think they should let it heal 100%. If we can get EE to have just one month like last May we could real off 10 in a row or something close.

Oh, he's been hitting well the last few games. He's not hurting, Bautista's in rougher shape.

Yeah, im also hoping Jose says no to all star game.

[LTR]

Maybe Edwin had a blister on his thumb, or the flu, or slept wrong on his neck, or had a migrain,or any number of other things that could have kept him out today.

 

These are people. They miss work. The fans aren't always told why.

 

Unless I'm told and I know the reason then I will assume he's healthy, that's how fandom works.

[Statman]

Well after yesterday's start Dickey bumped his WAR to replacement level...lol

 

Oh, can one of the mod's fix the spelling of replacement in the title. It is killing me every time I look at it.

[RealAccountant]

Wow Wilner is vehemently defending Dickey. I don't really see how anyone can think he's been good or is expected to be good.

 

I wonder who they'd move to the pen to make room for Norris when he's ready.

 

It's a testament to how apathized Jays are in Toronto that Wilner has been able to host a post game show for twenty years

also, maybe Alex is dangling Edwin's name out there in trade talks?

ya don't want your manager rattling off all of Edwin's health issues in the media?

While I don't like how Wilner defends Jays player to no end - I do love that he tells fans when they are stupid....which is about 85% of his audience. I'm not sure I'd ever listened to a show that would be so blunt (and typically right) when people phone in with blabbering nonsense.

No, that's how sounding like a moron on an internet message board works.

Not much sweetums, just snorting a few rails, rolling a joint and getting ready to watch the Bahlooo Hyyayys get raped in KC tonight. You?

This was Dickey's best season as a Blue Jay.

 

His turnaround from June onwards was huge.

[SaskJaysFan_2]

I know we *should* start Stroman in game 2, but I'd like Dickey to go, and then maybe we get the Dickey effect for games 3 and 4.

[HERPDERP]

So who here still doesn't want to pick up that option?

[Laika]

The off day after game 2 probably mitigates the Dickey effect. Maybe. IMO.

[Governator]

With a day off between games 2 & 3, the Dickey effect would be negligible.

[Dr. Dinger]

The Dickey Effect would probably be erased, but the Jays also vastly prefer Dickey in the closed dome vs on the road, so there's a pretty good chance they'd rather have Stroman pitch game 3 anyway.

Likely, do they even know about the Dickey effect...

I think you go with your best 2 SP first and do everything you can to go up 2-0. Then hope your 3/4 or #1 on 3 days rest finishes them off in Texas. The upside of any possible Dickey effect is negated by the off day anyway.

[CHRIS]

Let's not try to get cute here. Pitch the best starters as much as possible.

The odds of Stroman winning on the road vs at home are more even than Dickey. I would be very surprised if they set up Dickey to pitch in Arlington.

[Laika]

I wonder if they would potentially start Price on 3 days rest in game 4 if they are down 2-1 in the series? Then Stroman would be lined up for game 5 if he starts game 2.

 

If they're not prepared to do that then Dickey at home in the dome for game 2 games sense.

[Dr. Dinger]

Let's not try to get cute here. Pitch the best starters as much as possible.

 

We need at least 3 pitchers this series anyway. Price would probably only pitch if it goes to game 5 or if we're down 2 games to 1 heading into game 4.

this is a good point
