Seriously, who could you put over RA Dickey right now to start the NL all star game

[zoo youk]

???????????????????

[Pew Pew]

they should rename the cy young award to the dickey award. and david price is a piece of shiiiieeeet

[Brock Landers]

no one in the NL is even close to him

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Ryan Dempster has better numbers.

Don't think you should pick starters based on W-L

But if you are going to go with W-L, might as well go with Gio Gonzalez since he has better numbers and a similar record.

[LT Profits]

Gio Gonzalez

[PickWinnerAllDay]

But for the record, my more serious answer is Matt Cain.

His 0.94 WHIP is obscene.

[Brock Landers]

RA Dickey is throwing nothing but blanks right now, guy is basically unhittable

[zoo youk]

Ryan Dempster hahahahahahaaha. Gio is a good candidate. Dickeys whip before tonights game was 1.09 so its droppin as we speak

I am not knocking Dickey at all, it's just that Gonzalez has been better.

[KingJD31]

gio only one I'd consider, Dickey is the man and should be pitching a no no infield hit could easily been ruled an error

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Stats are stats man.

W-L is pointless when Dempster is on the Cubs. Dempster's WHIP and ERA is better than Dickey's, so no point in laughing.

[zoo youk]

I used to be a mets die hard but gave up on them and ever since Dickey came up i thought he was going to be a flash in the pan but he just keeps proving himself over and over.

Think him and Gonzalez are neck and neck

Don't laugh at Dempster, he sits just outside the top 10 in the majors in FIP right now. It's not his fault Cubs offense is putrid. By the way, Gio and Greinke have been 1-2 in FIP practically all year, although they keep swapping positions.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Dempster is also the best road pitcher starter in baseball currently.

1.06 ERA in 42.1 innings on the road for Demp. He seems to not like Wrigley this year, a little strange.

[Brock Landers]

Regardless, Dickey is an all star, he may not start the game, buy very well should

Dempster will absolutely be traded, and I think that if he stays out of the AL East then he could really help someone. I'm more curious as to what the Cubs could land for him though, obviously.

Doubronot is throwing lights out tonight too.
Reyes hit a solo shot, that's it, 1 hit, 9 K's through 6

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Is Dickey's ERA really sustainable though?

Hitters have a .653 OPS against him, which isn't that far below the league average. Hitters have a .578 OPS against Dempster.

[zoo youk]

Ra has a much better K Bb ratio. Gio 80k 30 bb 2.35 era



RA has 88ks to just 17 bb 2.30 era and dropping

Difference is Dickey has been doing it all year. Whuda thunk it?

Not knocking him, was just funny

[KingJD31]

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Dickey is a UT graduate baby

[wtt0315]

Funny thing is mets were suppose to be as bad as the cubs this year.

I wouldnt look at OPS to tell weather a pitcher can sustain an era or not. Would look at strand rates, xfip xERA line drive rate, gb fb ratio etc

[allabout the $$$]

dickey and the mets have to be the biggest surprise in baseball this year. he has a 30+ scoreless inn streak

[stevex]

I don't understand how a Tampa team that was playing great baseball goes home to get blown out by a Mets team who just got swept?

Does that make any sense?

[zoo youk]

RA was doing it last year too. Just didnt get as much attention. Not to this level tho, he is getting way more strike outs this year.

[wtt0315]

Actually Dickey only had 1 bad start in Atlanta in that day game where it was raining like crazy. You take that game out of the equation and they guy has a 1.80 era. Freaking amazing for a guy that didn't even throw a knuckball when he came into the league.

this is baseball.

[KingJD31]

should be 0 hits threw 8ip bullshit call by tampa scoring

[antifoil]

greinke

[zoo youk]

Dickey shoulda been credited with a no hitter tonight. Uptons hit shoulda been scored an error in the 1st.

[Brock Landers]

almost forgot about Lance Lynn, guy has been super as well
