    Looks like the Jays will lose their opener
    Must I remind you, they were down 4-1 in the 9th last year and preceded to send it to extras and won in 16. I should have been there since I lived in Akron.

      I'm still rather perplexed as to why a team that plays more than half of their games indoors would covet a knuckleball pitcher so much in the first place.

        I was there. Granted, I didn't last all 16 innings (I left in the 11th) but I was there for the Chris Perez meltdown.

          I figure being pessimistic will yield better results

          The Jays plan to have the roof open more often this year though you'd think that'd be great for a knuckler except the dome is even MORE of a launching pad with the roof open.

            I thought Dickey was ok to good at points. If he can get on a trajectory of improvement from where he is now things he'll work out fine. Arencibia wasn't good enough getting his body in front of the ball so it's Blanco's turn next time. Cabrera's HR was a weird one, and Masterson and the other pitchers for Cleveland have done really well. Credit to them.

            Opening Day is always a toss up. Guess the Jays will have to go 161-1.

              Should Yu stay in if he has the perfect game thru 100+ pitches?

                I thought Dickey would be better with roof closed? Didn't he WANT roof to be closed during WBC?

                  If he makes it through the 7th still under 100, leave him in until he wants out. He knows how his arm feels, nobody else.

                    The Rangers announcers are letting everyone know what's going on and are discussing if Ron Washington would leave Darvish in.

                      Yep that's his thinking I was answering the question which seemed to imply that it was better for Dickey to pitch with the roof open which is counter to his wishes. Beeston has made it publicly known that even if Dickey asks for the roof to be closed on an 80 degree sunny day they're still gonna keep it open.

                        Dickey can write a check to the local weather service to put a high chance of rain in the forecast for each start.

                              Free MLB Extra Innings preview, unless it has a poor HD selection, then I don't blame you.
