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

[Leafs at Knight]

On that note, it's still damn early in this game. Our bats are special so I believe. It'll be hard, but ya just gotta believe.

Well were vs. Young so yea, but if the first inning was any indication.. uh oh.

 

[Tundra]

Bullpen?

 

[Daisy Jane]

Dickey went full Cueto.

 

[leafsfan5]

get out dickey

 

[Woll Smoth]

These playoffs have been brutal.
0-2 against Texas at home
Failed to split the home games at KC
Now Dickey implodes

 

[GoodKiwi]

Pathetic performance.

 

[teeder333*]

thank god he is out. Now lets win. Do NOT resign that guy, he is a joke.

 

[Tony Romo]

At least if our bullpen gets taxed today... There's always Dickey who can throw out of the pen tomorrow...

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Damn it Dickey just didn't have it.

 

[stavs*]

pitching has been absolutely brutal, and pitching is by far the most important element to playoff success. I'm sorry guys, but until our pitchers bare down, we aren't winning anything

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

On that note, it's still damn early in this game. Our bats are special so I believe. It'll be hard, but ya just gotta believe.

Didn't you see the first inning!? The fly ball pitcher throwing 86 mph is going to throw a no hitter, with 27 k's.

 

[bigred50]

Bullpen time!

 

[Tony Romo]

Did I just see a guy say he would Start Sanchez today? oh boy.

 

[WTFMAN99]

This loss won't hurt...we were out of it from the start apparently.

 

[Cor]

Only hope?

It's better than hoping someone dies and the World Series is cancelled right?


I mean, I guess we could win the next 3 games, then lose the first two games of the World Series

 

[Swervin81]

Putting Dickey out against the K.C. lineup was suicide to begin with. The most disciplined hitting team in the majors against the DICK? Insane to begin with.

I would have started Sanchez myself, truly would have.

Dickey had a really good start against the Royals earlier this year on 3 days rest.

And obviously, you haven't seen the disaster that was Sanchez earlier this year as a starter.

 

[t0nedeff]

Really though, for those wanting Dickey out, who do you put in? Estrada? Sanchez? I don't think pulling him yet is smart.

the only strikes he is getting is from foul balls at this point. when do you pull him when its 10-0 after the 3rd and the game is completely over?

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Didn't you see the first inning!? The fly ball pitcher throwing 86 mph is going to throw a no hitter, with 27 k's.

Yea I saw one of our best hitters caught looking at a 85 mph strike right down the middle.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Our BP is too bad for us to be able to come back from five down.

 

[Daisy Jane]

suck it escobar!

 

[Entiae]

Woah, nice!

 

[p.l.f.]

Cool

 

[Muston Atthews]

Nice Hendriks.

 

[Del Preston]

Hendriks

 

[LaCarriere]

22 doubles over 634 PAs is still very low.

Again, I bet almost if you looked back, situationally almost all of those of those 30 whatever steals were to second base after a single -- so you're sitting at close to 50 (manufactured) doubles -- Donaldson had 41 doubles.

My point was he's not the worst player ever, he's went dry, just like Tulo went dry until this series, just like Bautista has been a ghost in RF, and combined with ridiculous untimely errors that have lead to losing leads and innings extended -- they Jays that have played an exceptionally high level game for the last 2 - 2.5 months have basically beaten themselves this series.
