    RA Dickey's Knuckle does not work in Moist air / Rain correct?
    He is pitching today in Minnesota and the weather forecast was calling for a chance of light rain or snow today. ( No not the kind of snow JJ does with escorts)

    Big Day can you give us more accurate weather update...?

    I remember a few years ago it was the year Dickey won the Cy Young the Braves tees off on him in the rain and he gave up about 10 runs....

    Anybody else want to give insight on this angle?


    Can we trust Mike Pelfrey/ Twins Bullpen?

    Technically yes it's true that knuckleballers have harder time gripping the ball in the rain..

    It's also true that Dickey a few times that I remember in the rain he has hard time and got roughed up

                              probably gorgeuous in the summer. but why not just skip playing any home games (maybe 1 series) until mid may

                                i think i would have built a retractable roof given the climate in minnesota.

                                  Doesn't seem very fair to schedule 40+ road games in a row.

                                    yeah that wouldnt be fair at all they would be out of playoff contention before they played their first home game.

                                    They will just have to embrace the weather like the Green Bay Packers do.
