Yeah and like Eck mentioned, he seems to be working faster. Thank God for that!
This game is probably a good example of why paying to bring a knuckleballer to the AL generally and the AL East specifically does not make much sense.
Rare for a knuckleballer to not at least leave one or two up and doing nothing. But in the NL you could get away with it. Not as often likely to see a dinger go screaming past your ears. But here, Dickey has not made more than a couple mistakes with the knuckleball today. But still and all he has given up 5 runs through seven innings. If anything his ERA is on the way up today.
You can have a knuckler without paying big money for him and have that work out these days. Wake certainly was a worthwhile contributor at reasonable money. But giving up guys and paying big money to bring one to the AL East just makes no sense at all.
The guy is very knowledgeable-- a valuable member of the team FO and a huge fan too. What a great job he has!! I'd take the job just to get his seat. LOL!! I'd even wear the dopey looking headset.

Remember Beckett, Buccholz, Dice-k, Papelbon...how long they take to throw a pitch? LOL
Oh yeah! Excruciating!
Morales...
Farrell is testing out Morales as the other LHP.
No time is a good time for Morales.
Davis is such a pain in the neck. Glad this team went nowhere. I could see where Reyes and Davis could make life miserable for pitchers if they were constantly getting on in front of big boppers.
Morales is a nightmare, just get him the hell out of there before he gives the game away.
Koji man...
Funny how we have two guys pitching from the left side that are kinda' the same guy. Thornton and Frankie both sort of lose it all of a sudden more times than not...and once they do lose it there seems to be no getting it back. Its like you are hoping to survive them more than anything else.
Koji is the man.
Koji still on his roll!! The guy is money and this unlikely team continues to roll. 95 wins and counting!!
