Game 4 Starter

[Grant77]

How can you not go with price? WTF

 

I won't believe it until I see it.

AA must be trying to justify the Dickey trade or something...

Yeah because AA decides the rotation.

He's explicitly said he doesn't interfere with Gibby, I trust him.

Retarded

[Atothe]

I think AA has a talk with Gibby

[Dr Negative]

My worry with playing Dickey is that DeShields has been a problem all series and he will be looking to run wild on the knuckleball. I assume the Rangers are starting Gallardo? Starting Colby Lewis against this lineup seems a bit suicidal.

[Angrioter]

Dickey

[SSTP]

unreal.

[BlueJayWay]

looks like Dickey

[JFD]

Price please

dickey is exceptional at holding runners....... that being said, price should start

[EMK19]

I'm sure Dickey will be on an extremely short leash tomorrow. I'm thinking like a 2-run leash. But it is worth it to see if Dickey can be on one of his good starts IMO since when he IS on his game, he can be dominant.

Are they not starting Derek Holland?

[bowld]

I still think price will start tomorrow. I think him warming up tonight was sort of a throwing session. Dickey is too inconsistent to pitch in a do or die game

[RealAccountant]

Really. Derek Holland?

[jays_fever]

Holland, Lewis, Gallardo, they're all s***. We're due for 1 of our slugfests

[havok24]

I hope so.

Do pitchers usually have a warm up session the day before they start?

[havok24]

Really. Derek Holland?

 

I hope so. Perfect pitcher for our offense to pound out a bunch of runs.

He isn't exactly a scrub.

Presumably they are going to go to the pen quick if they start Holland.

[havok24]

He isn't exactly a scrub.

 

I'm well aware of who Derek Holland is, thanks.

[reedjohnsonfan]

You guys should stop assuming they will pound Holland. He's had a rough stretch but has more upside to put together a good start than all their pitchers outside of Cole Hamels.

[reedjohnsonfan]

I'm well aware of who Derek Holland is, thanks.

 

No exactly my point. He could pitch really well tomorrow. Odds are he won't be lights out but it's possible.

[bowld]

Well there it is. Gibby just said dickey is starting tomorrow on mlb network during his press conference. God I hope he is on tomorrow

[burlingtonbandit]

Holland has been pretty bad vs RHH.

 

What I'd like to see is Dickey go through the order twice (take him out earlier if needed) then go to Price for 3 innings. After that go to the bullpen as you usually would.

[RealAccountant]

Holland is also the guy who threw a complete game 2 hit shutout against the Jays recently, If I recall correctly

[bowld]

I am just scared to death that Dickey will have one of his 4-5 run outings
