Hutch should be starting over Dickey

[G-Snarls]

Also Hutch will almost certainly get more starts this year

 

Any injury or when Sanchez moves to the pen, it's either him or Floyd getting starts

Dickey has allowed 3 ER or less in 5 of 7 starts this season. he has gone 6 or more innings in each of his last 4 starts allowing 3 or less earned runs in 3 of them, while avg 2.67 run support this season, wtf does he need to do? Dickey is doing exactly what he is getting paid to do.

[intentional wok]

This is such a dumb narrative....the season is 162 games long, not 81. We should not have to let Dickey s*** the bed for half a season every year, a win now is the same as a win in Sept. Not to mention Dickey wastes a roster spot with his caddie Thole.

 

At some point he's probably not going to turn a corner in mid-season. The guy is ancient by baseball standards, so even with his relatively low-attrition techniques his ability is eventually going to end. Who knows when it will happen, though? I also hate the insistence on having to wait for a guy to find himself until mid-season, though.

 

But I don't even really think he's been all that terrible. I mean, I hate watching his starts because I find those games to be low energy (all the wasted pitches, full counts, etc.) and totally frustrating (passed balls, wild pitches, random clusters of walks).

 

Dunno, if I were in management I might try to line up his rotation spot against more SP4s and 5s. Might help mitigate the perception of him being absolutely terrible.

It is what it is.

 

So don't change it?

I argued this point about Sanchez last year...wasn't received well at all
