Nine Years Ago Today The Blue Jays won game 4 of the ALDS over the Rangers. The Jays had lost the series’ first two games and faced an uphill battle. However, we won this one pretty easily, 8-4, scoring early and often. From the recap: There was a bit of controversy. R.A. Dickey started and went 4.2 innings, allowing 5 hits, no walks, 3 strikeouts, and just one earned run. He hadn’t run up his pitch count, sitting at 78 pitches.
I would have liked to have Price in the pen for game 5, just in case Marcus didn’t have it that day. And I would have wanted to let Dickey get the win he earned. But I didn’t understand why we’d like to use up a pitcher when Dickey could have gone 6-7 innings and kept us with a rested pen for game 5. Gibby’s stated reasoning: Anyway, with 2 outs in the 5th inning, with a runner on first, there was a 95% chance of a win. It’s the definition of a low-leverage spot.
