Dickey Credits Orel For Success

All, Baseball Jason McIntyre June 19th. 2012, 10:01am

Hershiser, that is. Buck Showalter, too.

“He gave me the canvas to be able to operate on. He was the guy; he and Orel kind of pushed me in that direction. I’m thankful they did.”

R.A. Dickey, 37, is New York’s new Jeremy Lin. I’m just waiting for Johan Santana to play the role of Carmelo Anthony.

Had enough Dickey? Brace yourself — there’s more Dickey coming later.

Well, at least you didn’t mention Phil Niekro. Because Dickey is not that no matter how many comparisons have been made in the last week or so. Nice little run for him though. Considering his past, I doubt he maintains this in the 2nd half of the season. Sell high.

He’s just practicing for when the NBA is over in 5 days and there’s gotta be a way to wedge it into posts for the next 4 months.

Is this more in that he’s a MVP Candidate, or that he has had a Kung-Fu grip on the league for the last week.

There is no mention of Jeremy Lin in that article.

At first I was thinking the linked article was making the Lin comparison so I was ready to think that writer a fool but alas, a CNTL+F on “lin” only brought up the middle of words

Jared Diamond is a phenomenal name for a baseball writer.
Alternatively.
Jared Diamond? That’s a stupid name. Who would read that?

Sunday vs. the Yankees is when that scoreless inning streak comes to a close. That’s a lineup that has a fair amount of experience against knucklers and a ballpark that can produce a 314 foot home run.

Definitely a good job, good effort

That’s what Tigers fans thought too, but maybe they were just spelling “Chris Sale” wrong

If you don’t know Dickey’s story (elbow issue diagnosed by Ranger’s team physician looking at an SI cover photo) – it’s interesting.
Especially noting the fact that the Rangers withdrew their original offer to him. I hate the Mets but it’s a good story.

Orel Hershiser is fucking terrible on the College World Series.
After enduring Billy Ripken for the Braves-Orioles Fox game, Hershiser is a dramatic step toward positive.

As someone with a lot of experience dealing with a knuckleballer, don’t get your hopes up too high. It’s a fickle pitch, and it can turn for the worse very quickly.

True enough, though Wakefield certainly never pitched at this level.

I’m not the one to get offended really at all, but “Dickey credits Orel for success” may be in a bit of poor taste in this instance. Just a couple months ago he detailed his history of being sexually abused as a child and was suicidal while in the minors. Heard him discuss it on Rome.

Sucks he didn’t pitch that well for the Rangers.
