RA Dickey Excuse Thread

[JFD]

Gibbons is too dumb to pull me when I don't have it.

Dickey "Umpire fault"

[Sorrow]

I like Thole, he just hasn't been the same since his concussion in 2012.

 

That being said unleash the Kratz.

Dickey "Umpire fault"

 

in fairness...that pop up single probably should have been caught.....next batter was a walk where pitch tracker had the 3 and 2 pitch as a strike....so that 3 run homer could have easily been a solo homer....we gave up 3 runs...we're going to win a lot of games when we only give up 3....dickey was decent tonight.

In fairness Dickey showed absolutely atrocious composure and inability to pick-up his team mates.

Bump. Predictions?

 

You know where i stand.

JFaS did crunch some numbers several weeks back and has him projected to a tune of a 3.5 ERA in 2014.

 

Think about this for a sec..

I wouldn't be surprised if some ******** along the lines of the knuckleball provides more randomness, therefore is harder to project accurately, is at play.

 

Although I'd still take the U on 4.5 ERA. If that was the bet.

What are we betting?

Didn't you have a bet with JFaS with an O/U 4.5 ERA?

[gruber92]

Yes, but with Spanky. It's in the wager thread and its for $50.

This thread is a f***ing joke..............hope you don't get on his nutsack when he shuts teams down.

 

In Dickey's Cy Young year his highest monthly era was 5.13 and his lowest was 0.8 or something.

 

I am a bit worried about all the walks... that is something to keep an eye on... but month to month variation is always large. Roy Halladay Cy Young 2003 year?? 0-2 4.89 in April, 2-4 5.40 in August. Still won Cy Young with those 2 bad months.

 

Beurhle is probably not a 30 game winner, Denny Maclain 68 like guy... Dickey is probably not the second comming of 1998 Joey Hamilton. What is happening isn't unnussual it is just very typical month to month variation.

 

If current trends continue for 6 more weeks then maybe you have a case.

Dickey seems to start very strong, looking like he'll through a CG 7-hitter. Then, after a walk or two he ALWAYS gives up a dinger. Never just a single. He's been in inconsistent, but he's been unlucky, too.

Does using a catheter hurt......I always flinch when they show those......medical commercials where old farts wax lyrical about.......their new catheters that......are apparently tapered at the end.....and are self-lubricating........unlike.......their dessicated wives........but still, at the.......end of.....the day............................................................................................................................................................you're still shoving......a plastic hosepipe into.........your cock and up into......your.......bladder.....I mean, just f***ing kill........me already ya.........know?

You're right...lets end the thread, Dickey is confident he'll get better. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball/dickey-confident-hes-close-to-ending-late-inning-meltdowns/article18122331/

Dickey was actually looking pretty good last night,until the ball fell between Reyes and Cabrera in the sixth,He didn't look too happy then.
