GDT: April 15th Jays vs Red Sox 1/4 - Dickey vs Porcello

[jaysblue]

If Dickey settles down and pitches 6-7 innings, I'll be happy.

[KinofChaos]

Same goes for the supposed bullpen meltdowns. The bullpen has pitched as they do, the other team has just come up with some big hits. Blame the other team. Two teams contribute to decisions.

 

Except cecil has not had the same bit on his curve or command like he does when he gets going....he has not pitched like he usually does, do you even watch the games?

[jackie]

not even the broken bat hits are falling in wow

[jackie]

dickey always starts the season slow

[West Texas Forever]

Except cecil has not had the same bit on his curve or command like he does when he gets going....he has not pitched like he usually does, do you even watch the games?

 

The thing about Cecil seems to be that a lot of teams are laying off the curve, not sure if he is tipping his pitches or what but no one is swinging on those curves.

[intentional wok]

How many full counts do we see from Dickey in the next inning? How many that go full from 0-2?

[Patrick]

Can their be a cushier job in sports than that of being and AL manager.

[KinofChaos]

The movement has not been there yet, like it usually does, nor has the command. I think he will be fine though.

[KinofChaos]

He never throws his curveball for a strike. By some trick of fate, the other team just hasn't happened to swing at many of the ones in the dirt. It has nothing to do with him changing in any way.

 

 

Or it's nothing but randomness... usually a safe assumption.

 

False.

[Angrioter]

Pillar is annoying as a hitter.

[CJ-Freeway]

Its funny because this happens every April. We all talk about how Dickey sucks and blah blah blah.

 

Then come Mid May he turns into a really good pitcher for the rest of the season and by August we all say yeah he's not bad value for a number 3/4 SP.

 

Maybe in the regular season, but not in the playoffs, as he has shown us last year VS the Royals. Unreliable as f***.

[Krylian]

dickey always starts the season slow

 

That doesn't make it any better. Wins.... Or losses in April and September have the same value.

[KinofChaos]

Pillar is annoying as a hitter.

 

He is like the dickey version of a hitter.

[Atothe]

That mookie betts rbi single was pure luck

[bones10]

Pillar is annoying as a hitter.

 

His swing is disgusting. Same with Travis's too; atleast he gets s*** done though.

[burlingtonbandit]

Maybe in the regular season, but not in the playoffs, as he has shown us last year VS the Royals. Unreliable as f***.

 

I see you conveniently forgot about his other start vs Texas where he dominated...

[KinofChaos]

Dominated? Didn't he last 4 innings?

[frizzer1]

4 years of Dickey is cruel and unusual punishment which no fan should be forced to endure..

[frizzer1]

Dominated? Didn't he last 4 innings?

 

Only because Gibby panicked..

Yeah no s***. I swear half of the posters here a f***ing retarded. Dickey has always been like this. His stats will even out by the end of the season.

[KinofChaos]

Again why does this make it better? a win now is the same as Sept....it doesn't make it better, maybe you are retarded.

[Daniel Labude]

This thread is embarrassing. Dickey has pitched very well this season. Just getting BABIP'd.

 

Blame the Red Sox for making some good swings and driving the ball. The pitcher can only do so much.

 

All I ask is for him not to just throw batting practice...but in most games I think teams hit worse in BP vs hitting against Dickey lol

[KinofChaos]

Only because Gibby panicked..

 

So he never dominated then, 4 innings 1 run and he left with runners on....then got shelled against KC.

[Krylian]

This is the gambler's fallacy. He will be okay this season because he is an okay pitcher and has been one so far. There's not much analysis that needs to be done.

 

He's a frustrating pitcher that relies on a gimmick and takes up 2 roster spots.

[CJ-Freeway]

I see you conveniently forgot about his other start vs Texas where he dominated...

 

4 innings and one ER is not exactly "domination". But he kept us in that game, I'll give him that. But still, he's not a reliable starter that you should trust in the playoffs.

[CJ-Freeway]

Buck'd

[West Texas Forever]

4 innings and one ER is not exactly "domination". But he kept us in that game, I'll give him that. But still, he's not a reliable starter that you should trust in the playoffs.

 

The only time Gibby had a trigger finger to pull a pitcher before something bad happened.

[Stangstag]

4 innings and one ER is not exactly "domination". But he kept us in that game, I'll give him that. But still, he's not a reliable starter that you should trust in the playoffs.

 

Everyone knows he was dealing that day and could have kept going. Gibbons pulled him to put Price in.

 

Stop being a boob

[vdubmvp]

Yeah no s***. I swear half of the posters here a f***ing retarded. Dickey has always been like this. His stats will even out by the end of the season.

 

These GDT seem to have turned into what we all tried to get away from on the old board. I feel like a lot of the people here would fit much better over there. I should probably just learn to use the ignore feature a lot more than I do.
