Dickey comes to Play


Recommended Posts

RA Dickey  :puke

 

what an embarrassing game thus far

Hehe... I was there. Not one of the morons chanting sweep in the EIGHTH inning, though, I've seen the WHITE Sox come back a few too many times this year. And the ninth got interesting when the ump decided to start squeezing the zone just a bit. He must be from Baastan. :lol:

 

Seriously, The Rangers with the best record in the AL!!! AND the Sox! Life is good.

 

 

:D

Hey Kap, what is the difference in the Texas pitching this year?  New pitching coach or something?  We all knew they could hit, I had no clue that they could pitch like this.

Orel Hershiser was brought in last year, but they got rocked last year. I think a year makes a big difference because these guys know what to expect from Hershiser - who I always thought of as a pretty cerebral pitcher.

 

One thing that occured to me as I was watching was just the pace at which they pitch. R.A., even when he got in trouble, was working pretty quickly yesterday. I really think that makes a difference - it keeps your fielders in the game and everyone involved. Last year, when they would get in trouble they would slow way down and get all nervous, and before you know it, BLAM, big inning.

 

I think there was an element to A-Rod being a "cancer" as well. The dude just brought the attention. These guys are playing well as a TEAM, aggressive, playing fundamental baseball. I think that A-Rod was always supposed to be the hero, and when he wasn't, everyone knew it. The guys this year just appear to be themselves, pitchers included... pressure's off, so to speak, to have to perform for PayRod.
