Dugout Digest - Dickey time
You know, maybe it really *is* the American League. RA Dickey started on Tuesday night against the Giants, and his performance was positively DIckey-esque: two runs on six hits in six innings, walking two and striking out ten. Dickey also tallied 15 whiffs on 115 pitches, a little above the rate he sat at last season. Unfortunately, Dickey's next start will come on Sunday...against...
R.A. Dickey’s Lost Velocity
Knuckleballers aren’t like other pitchers, or so the saying goes. Their pitches flutter like butterflies, they pitch at less than max effort, they don’t depend on velocity, and they can pitch into their fifties. All of these things seem true, and yet the more we know about knuckleballers the more they might actually be more like all the other pitchers out there. So when 38-year...
R.A. Dickey introduces new phrase to baseball lexicon: ‘Hard as crud’
The Toronto Blue Jays are struggling. With lofty goals for the season, the Blue Jays have underwhelmed thus far. The team is scuttling along (to put it nicely), sitting at a 13-23 record, bad enough to already be 8.5 games back of the East-leading New York Yankees. During Thursday’s 5-4 loss to the Tampa Bay [...]The post R.A. Dickey introduces new phrase to baseball lexicon: ‘Hard...

Dickey Deal Keeps Looking Better And Better For The Mets
As the title says, the R.A. Dickey deal just keeps looking better and better and that’s with the key piece to the deal sitting on the disabled list for nearly a month.
A post by Josh Chapdelaine of Around Citi brought to my attention just how bad things are going for the reigning Cy Young this season.
“The knuckleballer racked up his fifth loss of the year”, writes Chapdelaine...
Dickey Trashes His Teammates While Buck Keeps Homering
Former Mets legend R.A. Dickey is on my fantasy team in which I put down 40 bucks to try to once again make a run at a title after finishing fourth last year and second two years ago.
(In the interest of trashing my Co-Owner Michael Charles Ganci, he missed the playoffs last year and I beat him in the playoffs two years ago)
He is pitching to a 5.36 ERA so far with the Blue Jays...
Blue Jays' R.A. Dickey cleared for Saturday start
Toronto Blue Jays right-handed starting pitcher R.A. Dickey has been cleared to make his regularly scheduled start on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners. He underwent an MRI on his neck yesterday, which resulted in a diagnosis of mild inflammation in his neck, according to The Associated Press.

NY Mets look like winners following R. A. Dickey trade.
After last season break out numbers from R. A. Dickey, and his Cy Young award, the Mets were under a lot of pressure to sign him. For starters, the Mets needed a headlining name on the pitching staff, and Dickey's own personal testimony made for a feel good story. Then the Mets traded him in what became almost a nightmare for public relations for a club that needed all the positive...
