R.A. Dickey

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Tonight the Mets face a career fringe major leaguer who was out of baseball last year and has an ERA+ of 69 this year. I'm putting the over/under on runs the Mets score at 4.5.

so...

Over or under?

[Centerfield]

Over. Way over.

He'll be gone by the end of 4.

[Frayed Knot]

He's a freakin knuckleballer - so the range is anywhere between a 2-hit CG shutout and gone by the 3rd down by 7 after 8 hits, 6 BBs, 3 PBs and 2 HBPs.

[Guest AG/DC]

Over.

A few flutterballs may teach the Mets to take a few walks.

[G-Fafif]

We need some Over right this very minute.

Dickey's had 3 starts this season prior to tonight:

- 6 IP; 5 ER, 8 H, 2 BB, 2 K

- 1.2 IP; 7 ER, 8 H, 2 BB; 1 K

- 3.2 IP; 5 ER; 6 H; 4 BB; 4 K

- and now tonight.


He does have 2 seperate 5+ IP scoreless relief outings, but c'mon.

[Guest AG/DC]

1-11, 8.93 ERA over his previous 18 starts.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

sigh.

Unfortunately, Frayed called it. Dickey really stuck it to the Mets.
