At the age of 38, R.A. Dickey is 8 and 8 for Toronto. Through 115.2 innings he has a 4.59 ERA, 42 BBs and 82 Ks and his WHIP sits at 1.288. Those aren’t BAD stats for a starting pitcher, but I’ll point out the Jeremy Hefner’s stats are better. Dickey is rounding into form [...]
On Friday night in Milwaukee, Zack Wheeler made his fourth career start for the Mets. While it wasn’t a thing of beauty, Wheeler did collect his second win on the year nonetheless.

The Mets look to win their third straight game against the Arizona Diamondbacks behind as Matt Harvey looks to solidify his case to start the All Star Game next week. [chat id="115" ]
When he debuted just a few weeks ago, Zack Wheeler was met with tremendous fanfare. Since then, and a 5.09 ERA with nine earned runs given up later, there have been whispers amongst the fan base, the amateur pontiffs in social media, and overly-opinionated professionals like Craig Carton of WFAN, that Wheeler is a bust.
