GDT: Toronto Blue Jays @ Texas Rangers (Game 4 of the ALDS) #WeAreTheTrueBelievers

[bowld]

Had Dickey been getting hit I would see bringing Price in. Up 6 runs in the 5th is retarded

[fireballW]

Im not convinced this means Price won't start the next game, but if he doesn't then we just skipped David Price in the playoffs.....

[JFD]

If Stroman gets lit up in game 5 Gibbons should be fired. Incredibly stupid to waste Price right now

 

he should be fired regardless.

[Inklink]

Maybe this is one way to get Price that postseason win#1? Get into his good books so he re-signs here.

[Dylan]

Didn't want dickey to start now I didn't want dickey out lol

[NaturalGrass]

I would have started Price in Game 5.

[Slade]

All part of Gibbys plan to f*** the Rangers up. Dickey and his Knuckler + Price Power = No Rangers offense for Game 5.

 

Right Gibby???!??!!

[guylaroche5]

am I the only one that doesn't mind this move? I mean I would have loved to see Price start game 5 but Stroman is not a bad option by any means. Also with the day off tomorrow we can use Price out of the pen for game 5 to fill the gap left by Cecil

[jays_fever]

Stroman is just as good IMO but would have been nice to save Price for tmr as well. O well

[Ehjays]

Do we not have other pitchers in the bullpen?? If dickey was pitching that bad, could we not have picked someone different than the Game 5 starting pitcher!!!!!

[Atothe]

6 run lead and Dickey was going good

[Jonn]

I don't want to hear s*** about Ned Yost anymore. Gibbons is the worst manager in Baseball and its not even close.

[HammerJay]

The disrespect this shows R.A. Dickey is incredible. Dickey looks shellshocked in the dugout.

[fatcowxlive]

Maybe this is one way to get Price that postseason win#1? Get into his good books so he re-signs here.

 

Why would we do something so stupid to try and resign him in the playoffs?

[JFD]

once Gibby gets an idea in his head he can't stop himself. doesn't matter if things change. it was the plan all along!@!!!!

[Jimcanuck]

Dickey's chance to shine, and he was doing his job. I'd have a puzzled look too. I'd also be seething inside.

 

These are professionals Gibby, don't overmanage like an idiot

[comeon sense]

Must have something to do with the extra days rest.

Gibbons answer should be interesting.

[Dr. Dinger]

Price pitches today, and if we win Wed he can pitch game 2 of the ALCS on four days rest. I'm with Gibby on this decision.

[DickeyJohnsonWang]

I'm fine with it, it's an elimination game. choo had good abs against dickeyy

[Auldphartt]

so price is the new cecil now

Exactly.

 

Could have let Dickey get one more out and qualify for the win in Texas though. It's 7-1 ffs and Dickey was dealing. One stinking unearned run?

[THANOS]

Literally the only issue I have with that move is the timing.

 

Why not bring in Price in the 7th to work 3?

[Atothe]

I don't want to hear s*** about Ned Yost anymore. Gibbons is the worst manager in Baseball and its not even close.

 

wow, that might be the dumbest post of the year

[gruber92]

Why would you. Then who do you start in the ALCS? Estrada? Please. He shoulda let Dickey go 6 or 7 and let Price go Game 5 and Stroman go ALCS game 1

 

Nah.. Stroman looked considerably better than Price in his start. I like the decision to start Stroman if there's a game five.

[fatcowxlive]

Price pitches today, and if we win Wed he can pitch game 2 of the ALCS on four days rest. I'm with Gibby on this decision.

 

We're betting on Estrada doing well in game one at this point then

[Candide]

Price pitches today, and if we win Wed he can pitch game 2 of the ALCS on four days rest. I'm with Gibby on this decision.

 

I agree as well with the logic. I still think it could have waited 1/3rd of an inning though. Would have been nice to see Dickey get the win.

[xposbrad]

You just wasted one of the top 5 starting pitchers in the game to use in relief in a 6 run game...

[Atothe]

Nah.. Stroman looked considerably better than Price in his start. I like the decision to start Stroman if there's a game five.

 

I don't mind it because Stro is great

[Jonn]

Does anyone know when round 2 starts?

[bowld]

Bats have gone cold. Need some more insurance

[MorrisSmit]

we cant solve ohlendork wtf
