It was Dickey's fourth start allowing six or more runs this season, leaving his ERA at 5.18 one season after he won the NL Cy Young Award with the Mets. Dickey chose to make excuses as he said he gave up a lot of soft hits. That's even a worse sign for fantasy owners.

"My velocity hasn't been there this year so far, I haven't been able to go to the harder knuckleball."
