The walks are mistakes too. He always seems to get himself in trouble. I know it's hard to control a KB but his walks are way up from his better years.
When he first came up he seemed to really have a good patient approach at the plate. It's just gotten worse since then. I would have to blame it on combination of pitchers adjusting to him and him trying to do too much.
It starting to appears evident that Dickey is what he is. Gives up too many walks and too many HRs, often seems like the HR follows the walks. I don't really understand how you can go from a CY winner to this pile of dog crap.
