Blue Jays GDT: (2015 v61) ALCS Gm 4: vs KC | Tues Oct 20 | 4pm ET/1pm PT | Young vs Dickey

[Scion]

Gotta pull him, even if it'll exhaust all the arms in the pen

No, you need to get as much length out of Dickey as you can. At 5-0 you need to start thinking about tomorrow's elimination game.

 

[LaCarriere]

Yeah I am done with Revere. Him, Dickey need to go. Would rather have Pompey or Saunders.

It's really just a matter of untimely performances. Revere is a .300 hitter -- he's not f***ing terrible. Yeah, it's a somewhat empty/inflated .300 that's mainly singles but he has like 22 doubles and 30-whatever steals, which when you look at a sequence like what happened with KC in the top half is basically a single-steal (essentially a double), and 50-some doubles + singles-steals is nothing to scoff at.

The problem is these guys have just disappeared at the worst possible times. Any other time for a Dickey first inning implosion, but why the f*** now?

They crank out 11 runs yesterday, looked like they were going to win 11-4, ended up nearly imploding in the 9th, and if I were a betting man I'd bet they Jays hitters won't show up for 4 runs today after that offensive outburst yesterday. That's just how the season has gone -- untimely implosions (at the plate and in the field) and sporadic offense.

 

[t0nedeff]

more runs than outs and the 2nd inning isn't even done.

 

[JoeyBeans]

going to bed.

 

[Eyedea]

That hit him

 

[Paneerboy]

"You can review it"

Are umps allowed to tell managers that?

 

[FlareKnight]

Well it's ok though right? I mean....Jays still got this....

 

[shaner8989]

Is gibbons f***ing for real? Worst manager in baseball

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

dickey sucked the life outta the building and team. Hard to rally when ur pitcher is just giving the game away

 

[leafsfan5]

and he hit a guy, dickey sucks. Get him out

 

[bullocks]

maybe gibby should have put buerhle in the pen for a situation like this. only using 3 relievers anyways.

really this series was lost when they gave away game 2.

 

[10coach*]

Ump is going to play a huge role as always. Hope there is no abnormal strike zone.

My goodness... MLB umps have something like 97% accuracy on the strike zone and are graded every pitch. They are the best officials in pro sports

 

[Autism]

So why is dickey still in the game?

 

[PJJ]

Dickey MVP

 

[fahad203]

That did hit him. It's a rather easy call

Dickey has no control over his pitches

 

[stavs*]

at least I'm going to work in a little over an hour

 

[Daisy Jane]

oh lovely. lovely, lovely.

 

[In It 2 Winnik]

This is the worst game I've ever seen essentially. Dickey is so f***ing brutal.

 

[Tony Romo]

On a positive, the last time jays gave up 4 runs in the first inning of a playoff game. We won 15-14.

 

[EpochLink]

Pull Dickey

Pull him

 

[teeder333*]

Just get this guy out of here, I just cannot look at that grey bearded face any more. Worst beard ever.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Essentially Dickey's only bad start in the second half and this is how he gets treated. Some of you guys are a riot.

 

[The Promised Land]

No, you need to get as much length out of Dickey as you can. At 5-0 you need to start thinking about tomorrow's elimination game.

I get your viewpoint but I disagree. 5-0 in the top of the 2nd at home with the Jays' offense and what they did yesterday? It's too early to give up on this game. It is disappointing they don't have a long reliever down there or I have a feeling this would be an easy decision already.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

This is the worst game I've ever seen essentially. Dickey is so f***ing brutal.

You've never seen a Matt Boyd or Sean Nolin start, clearly.

 

[trellaine201]

Totally agree! Can't do that at this level.
