GDT: Today's Game

[candymartinez]

I can't understand why Thole is on this team.

[fatcowxlive]

Can we rid of him like we did with Storen and Chavez? Liariano can stick pls

[Daniel Labude]

I hope we go to a 5 man rotation without Dickey

[Plat]

horrible...f***er needs to retire after this game

[gruber92]

Just in case there was a throw - as per Tabby.....duh.

 

Tabby is pretty dumb considering he's a former player who actually played for a while.

[Pendleton]

Dickey did us a big solid in that short handed game, the bats will pick him up tonight.

[King]

Most of them are.

[fatcowxlive]

I am hereby retracting my statement about Dickey going the distance for the complete game.

 

Yeah I think chances for that have slightly diminished

[fatcowxlive]

i wonder what you'd say if you hear Kevin Barker!

[Pendleton]

I can't understand why Thole is on this team.

 

Love doesn't have to make sense

[intentional wok]

One batter too late despite Dickey basically feeling out the zone all game. Pretty obvious how likely that was going to go south.

[Angrioter]

DFA Dickey

[Jonn]

Will be interesting to see if they keep Biagini in the pen in 2017 or option him to AAA and have him start.

[Captain Adama]

Just like one bad game doesn't (shouldn't) tarnish the reputation of a good pitcher. One good game doesn't stop me wanting Dickey out of Toronto ASAP.

[Seanie]

Dickey is too unrealiable (aka he sucks)

[Belliss101]

I love Biagini

[EdwinsParrot]

Damn it feels good to watch anyone other than dickey pitch

[Pendleton]

Just like one bad game doesn't (shouldn't) tarnish the reputation of a good pitcher. One good game doesn't stop me wanting Dickey out of Toronto ASAP.

 

Oh that's all well and good, I'm just optimistic in regards to this game.

 

I don't think you'll see Dickey back next year, honesty strikes me as the type of guy who would rather retire and enjoy his millions than try to struggle through decline, and I don't mean that as a bad thing.

[gruber92]

I can't understand why Thole is on this team.

 

Stop and think for a second on how Dickey changed Thole's life. He has no business being in the MLB, but has made league minimum for three years with the Mets (and here is the kicker) and made $1.25M, $1.25M, $1.75M and $800K from 2013 - 2016 with the Jays. The realistic scenario should be him kicking around in AAA or AA riding the bus while molding young pitching prospects.

[glory]

Dickey and Liriano both in the rotation is going to be aggravating when they are not on.

[Belliss101]

Upton going long here

[G-Snarls]

Come on, Up

[BlueJays]

Upton going long here

Long K?

[Belliss101]

Upton going long here

 

3 pitches long for a K that is

[Governator]

lol Upton

[gruber92]

i wonder what you'd say if you hear Kevin Barker!

 

Oh i've heard plenty of Barker..

[Belliss101]

The rays offense is better than ours

[HERPDERP]

not a bad pitch

[EdwinsParrot]

Doesnt matter the year, Rays turn elite when facing the jays

[Pendleton]

I get the frustration with Dickey, but it's yet another night when he exits the game with the team having a perfectly good chance to win.

 

I realize this short start isn't the best example, but in general that's all we should really ask of a veteran #5 innings eater. Grind out 200 innings and give this deep lineup a chance to win most nights.
