Dice-K fans 10, winning his MLB debut

[@seanhokanson4115]

I miss the 2007 Red Sox roster. What a solid group of guys.

[@PaloVerde1414]

💯

[@Wolfman12395]

Daisuke was one of my favorite pitchers, I miss him being on the Red Sox.

[@matthewdarling1482]

Same

[@RocketDescends]

Good pitcher, but not worth the money they actually paid for him

[@TsukiRaiki]

@@RocketDescendshe was in his first two seasons. i mean i know our offense was crazy in 07 and 08 but i just remember him going 18-3 and the previous year striking out 200. then he was just never the same idk what happened in 09 i think he got hurt

[@PorkTips]

I miss his early Red Sox years, not his later ones 😬

[@stoivenn7179]

@@TsukiRaikiwish MLB fans got to see him in his true prime. In his rookie year of the NPB he struck out Ichiro three times in a row in a game. In highschool as well his arm was definitely over used, 250 pitches in a 17 inning game then a few days later he threw a no hitter. 881 pitches in over two weeks is crazy.

[@江豐鈦-i1c]

Today is the day that he retired from NPB in Japan.Thank for the excellent performance that the world know beside Ichiro we also got a good pitcher.

[@TheyCallMeCyborg]

I’ll never forget this game. Dad took me out of school early for a “doctors appointment” and we headed to the K to watch Dice’s debut. A few years later the Sox were back in town and Dice was shagging balls in the outfield during BP. In a sea of royals fans he saw me and tossed a ball up. Only major league ball I’ve ever gotten

[@Aih1616]

Nice story buddy

[@EricDavidSotoPeralta]

Me encanta este pitcher. A parte de que es de Japon, una ciudad y cultura que admiro mucho, su lanzamiento caracteristico, la gyroball, es increible.

[@user-uo8od8vg1g]

Varitek is my favorite catcher.

[@ystmentu]

Retired today in Japan.

Being a Sawx fan in NYC I owned this town in 2004, 2007, 2013,.2018.

[@공대망령]

who is the voice cast?

[@BigWillyStyle9]

If you didn’t thrust your pelvis pretending to be Dice-K you aren’t a real baseball fan

[@dustinwroten353]

Wow watching this makes me realize that MLB broadcasts would be better if they removed the strike zone from the screen. Knowing every single missed call an ump makes just adds frustration and unwatchability to the game. And dont come at me with robot umps because seeing the umps call outs and strike 3s is one of the sickest parts of baseball haha.

[@croplaya]

So did he really have that special pitch? The gyro ball? Or was that all bullshit and hype?

[@derek4986]

Bullshit and hype but I will give him 2007.

[@Aih1616]

@@derek4986 🤟

[@Geep615]

He had a pretty good slurve, but it wasn’t a new pitch like you might expect. Was a decent to good pitcher until injuries got him

[@WannyPena]

Dice was a MAJOR flop.

[@Wolfman12395]

In the long run? Yes. But, he was no doubt a key piece to helping the Sox win it all in 2007. So I'd say it was money well spent at least in some way.

[@KentlandVFD33]

Wrong. Not a flop

[@um52]

all that build up and hype about him coming to the MLB/Boston...he turned out to be such a disappointment to say the least. A pitching god in Japan, his expectations were so great but he Just an average pitcher.

[@vincinuge]

His first year he was a god Id say. Next two years he was good, but the rest that followed was terrible

[@alexkarthik1064]

they won the championship the first year with him lol....

[@maji_eaarth]

Too much injuries

[@mychaelcorinthos809]

Too many walks !

[@lifeinjersey9846]

@@mychaelcorinthos809 Yep! He had really bad pitch control and I remember him pitching like 100 ball games for like 5 or 6 innings. He didn't pace himself and burnt himself out
