There are countless stars and numerous heavenly objects to which the eye can see across the panorama at night – Alpha Centauri, Proxima, and Sirius are just a few of the celestial bodies which runs our imagination wild in the darkest of hours. These are heavenly gems which shine brightly when called upon to illuminate the sky with wonderment. Sadly, the Dickey-Thole constellation is not one of them. In fact, it’s in danger of quickly becoming an asteroid belt.
With a 10.44 ERA over his last three starts, Dickey is struggling mightily. He’s not simply scuffling, he’s labouring, and there seems to be an abundance of rising anxiety spreading across Jays nation with repeatedly short outings, visibly lackluster efforts, and disturbingly bad pitch selection wrapped around a fundamental lack of control.
