i LOVED dikkey.

great story.

I was at the game where he won 20. I saw Mets fans legitimately in tears watching him pitch.



We need knuckleballers in baseball again

Generational fall off for the brehito Julio

 

[Derek Lee]

1B free agency market looking weak so far. Alonso fukked up by declining the Mets contract extension. Clearly overestimated his value.

Only team that has 2 in the same year

I miss that guy

Him and Zambrano could hit too, Colon (although he’s been tied to PED usage) really was an ageless wonder

You'd think Mike Hampton would have won 20 for Colorado but I guess he just took their money did didn't do squat.

He did well here in Houston and when the Rockies pried him away he had a gigantic case of the fkits

Rosenthal said blue jays tryin to extend Vlad jr and are listening to offers for bichette

Mike Hampton was told not to sign in Colorado and as a fly ball pitcher to stay away from there, of course he didn't listen and took the money. Before the ink was dry on his contract his ERA had ballooned up over 5

Two years later he had to pull the plug on the mile high experiment

A 7-15, negative WAR, and 6+ ERA will do that to a pitcher

But Hampton hits home runs as a pitcher

Yeah and he gives them up too

That’s what happened. The Astrodome was flyball friendly (our A/C was rumored to kill flys) and he decided to jet to Mile High where it did not go well at all. Moose was a fan favorite here, he pitched for us alongside Lima-Time, that was a really fun era for us.

I'm not mad at it.

I'm for the players but sometimes it has to go both ways.

It doesn't make sense for teams to waste their time chasing a player who doesn't want to be there anyway.

If Philly was a viable destination for Sasaki his agent would have been pushing them.
