I'm just looking through Dickey's game log for this season
Last 3 games
6IP 6H 6K/3BB 3ER 99 pitches
6.1IP 5H 6K/0BB 1ER 95 pitches
6IP 5H 3ER 3K/4BB 105 pitches
Three starts where he was pitching effectively but still got the quick hook. Pathetic bullpen management. He's a f***ing KNUCKLEBALLER. One of the reasons why we signed the guy to a god damn extension at 38 years old was because of how knuckleballers, allegedly, don't get tired/fatigued...
Gibbons is in way over his head. Managers can only impact a game in a few specific ways in baseball but rotation/bullpen management is probably the biggest one. He's failed massively.
