R.A. Dickey

[skeletore2002]

How is it pitching with him this year? I'm contemplating doing a Jays franchise when I get the game, but only if it's possible to succeed with him. With guys like Tim Wakefield in past games, I've never been able to have any success with them. I've never used Dickey before, so I'm just wondering if it's hard to do well with him, or if he's comparable to other pitchers with a similar rating?

All I'm gonna say is...I'm glad he is off the Mets so I don't have to pitch with him lol.

I just played a game with him on Jays and its honestly kind of boring after awhile. I mean all you do is hit the knuckleball pitch and throw down the middle...He's a great pitcher though and I did win the game, but if I was to use the Jays as a franchise I would probably just skip his starts after awhile lol

It seems to me as if the knuckleball underwent something of an overhaul. It controls a lot better now and actually looks like it does in real life. It'll still dance and on occasional be uncontrollable, but for the most part it's a lot more realistic and you can actually be somewhat consistent with it when pitching.

Killed me using Cleveland. 8k. 1 run allowed. Lost 4-0

I just wanted to say I hate R.A dickey. I lose almost every game I play against him. People use him every time. He starts out on 0 energy and throws that knuckle ball almost every pitch. I hate it

No joke. Three straight years of using Dickey in The Show and I'm glad that I don't have to use him this year.

And I'm glad I don't have to face him.
