AA won't even consider extending these two, and that's the right decision even if one or the other becomes expensive in later years. Too much risk.
Lawrie OTOH...
Getting drunk at a buddy's place tonight. It's free!!! And he's cooking Vietnamese food. And I have to work Saturday morning. f*** this is starting to sound like a bad idea now that I type it out like this.
Oh my God you guys are giving me ulcers thinking about having to watch Happ or Dickey in a win or go home game
s***, the last game of the season against Baltimore could be win or go home too
I'd better buy some Tums. LOL
Honestly, what 23 year old rookie will just decide to start using a new pitch he just learned after 2 month in the bigs. Dude has balls the size of watermelons.
I honestly don't think he'd use RAD in this situation if he could use MB or Stroman
Game 1 of the regular season is about ceremony and respect
That wildcard game is about winning at all costs and he won't give a s*** about hurting Dickey's feelings or anything like that. He'd use MB or Stroman in a heartbeat if he could. Plus Hutch may look better by then too and be an option. No way he uses Dickey or Happ unless he had no choice.
Like Gibby himself says "I might be dumb but I ain't stupid"
2B is a given
But Kawasaki, Reimold or Gose, and Thole or Kratz is an acceptable 3/4 of a bench.
SP depends on Hutch and Sanchez and Nolin and Morrow.
BP yes though depends on Delabar and Rogers a bit too
