Sure not been what I expected so far. Pitching was supposed to more than hold them in games till the mighty offense struck. Glad it's a super long season cause they don't look very good at the moment.

R.A. is no stranger to struggling in April according to this:

Fortunately for Dickey, he doesn't have far to look. In April 2012, Dickey surrendered eight earned runs over 4 1/3 innings in a 14-6 loss to Atlanta, his worst performance as a New York Met. The good news for the Jays, though, is Dickey posted a 20-6 record last season.

It is sounding like his opponents are starting to figure out his plan out there so he may want to switch things up:

"I faced R.A. in spring training so I kind of had an idea of what his movement was and his velocity, because he throws a lot harder than a lot of guys," Middlebrooks said. "I know certain counts he likes to go to fastballs when he's not locating his knuckleball well, he tries to get ahead with the fastball and that helped knowing that."
