R.A. Dickey is a spoiled brat
So it took 20,000 bobble head of himself to get R.A. to actually have him pitch into the seventh and did not even have a Temper tantrum (at least until Jonny boy came to get him) and only gave up a single run on 5-hits and k'd 6.
He has given up 5 runs in 3 of 6 starts this season and had two major temper tantrums as he against Minnesota in a very cold twin cities he throw 4 scoreless innings and then did not want to come out for the fifth as he gave up a 5 spot in the inning and only got one out. Then this past Tuesday @ the Rogers Centre he had shutout the O's on two hits throwing 70-plus % and the first batter
Steve Lombardozzi hit a lollypop into shallow outfield grass and the meeting (Brett Lawrie, Jose Reyes, Melky Cabrera, and Coby Rasmus) did not work as it dropped in-between all of them for a double and after that to finish the inning he gave up a hit (three-run homer to Nelson Cruz) along with three walks and a hit batter. Then he was asked to come out for the seventh and with his best I don't want to do this face and gave up two hits and left without getting an out.
Through 5 games he has two wins (beating the Yanks on 5 hits and the Soxs on 5 hits) and three losses (Tampa walking 6 and the two others) with an ERA of 5.09 and has walked 18 so far this season.
When gets in trouble his personal catcher (Josh Thole) and the pitching coach can not help him u will see neither of them go to the mound because they can not talk to him so they don't try to. I have no problem with Gibby going and getting him with one out in the seventh as he has done nothing to be rewarded with the right to call his own shots to if he stays or hits the showers.
Going back to national league will see if he pitches better against the Pirates
