Jays 1 game behind now.

Half-game, actually, but who's counting?
Me, I'm counting.

Dickey is going to pitch tonight and Buehrle will go on Thursday. Dickey has given up 3 earned runs or less in 12 of his last 13 starts. Over that stretch he has taken his ERA from 5.53 to 3.93.
Buehrle has 12 straight starts with 3 or fewer runs. I'm not really sure why they made the move unless they are planning on skipping Hutchison on Sunday against the Yankees.

They said during the game last night it had something to do with giving Buerhle and extra day off while keeping Dickey on his regular throwing schedule. Dickey has had some issues in the past when getting extra rest. With a knuckleballer, that's not super surprising. It's better to have a slightly tired arm so you don't throw it too hard.

Huh...I did not know that.

Gibbons, on why he?s giving Buehrle an extra day?s rest: ?He was a little beat up that last time out. You know, he?s an old man. This time of year, it?s not going to hurt him.?

I'm assuming he's implying Buehrle is getting fatigued and/or playing hurt because giving up 5 hits over 7 innings seems to not support the notion of his performance lagging. Gibbons has been pulling him with a low pitch count the last few games.
