The thing with Dickey for the 9th had more to do with KRod getting a chance to pitch than Dickey's pitch count. KRod at the time hadn't worked in a few games so he wanted KRod to get a chance to work...Originally Posted by NoQuarter
That was the reason behind it

Just because you have a reason does not make it a good decision, he had reasons for Jacobs and GMJ getting the nods out of ST as well. Originally Posted by kyubi256

Technically it is a good enough reason because you do not want KRod coming out there with dead arm in a crucial save situation. You have to keep the pen fresh so they don't get bombed like Nieve has been getting lately.
Getting your CP work so he does not get dead arm is more important than a personal stat for Mr. Dickey

His comments are totally hypocritical, but not because of pulling Dickey. From the day he and Warthen took over, they both said they wouldn't use pitch counts and wanted their starters going deeper into games. Yet how many times did Santana get the hook with 100-110 pitches after going 7 or 8 innings. Originally Posted by NoQuarter

Pulling Dickey, however was the right move to get KRod some work. A journeyman getting a shutout is not the same kind of milestone as someone pitching a no hitter. I'm okay with what Jerry did this time, but he and rosy cheeks are still hypocrites and habitual liars.-Sun TzuLet your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

I have to respectfully disagree with you two. KRod can get work any day, I think milestones like the one Dickey had a chance to achieve are very important for role players.

KRod hadn't pitched in 4 or 5 days, so the decision was made before game time that he was going to pitch that day. A complete game shutout would have felt good, but really has no historical impact like a no hitter. Taking Dickey out had nothing to do with pitch counts.
Jerry has made a lot of bone headed managerial moves in the last two years. This just wasn't one of them.-Sun TzuLet your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

Magoo put it best: Manuel has made many boneheaded moves in his tenure as manager. This wasn't one of them. Originally Posted by NoQuarter

You only annointed him when he pleased you. You crucified him (and Omar) when he was signed. Originally Posted by fanofclendennon

Yes, I mocked the signing as did many people in here. Truth be told, i never heard of him. Like everyone else, I saw his numbers and laughed. Originally Posted by Mr. Magoo

What's your excuse?
