Memories of Dillon Gee

themetfairy Dec 14 2015 09:00 PM

Dillon Gee has signed a minor league contract with the Royals. What do we remember about him? He was a good guy, and an oftentimes effective pitcher in his time with the Mets. He was one of those guys who was constantly signing autographs. The Mets must have had something against him this year, because they gave his Number 35 to Logan Verrett the minute that Gee was gone. A decent back of the rotation guy who will hopefully bounce back from his recent struggles (except for when the Royals are playing the Mets).

Was it Spitty who sat next to Kari Anne during his debut or some such? Way too cherubic a face for his demonic beard thing.

He had the equivalent of one great season starting with his May 30, 2013 [7.1 IP / 4-Hit / 12-K] gem vs the Yanx. That started a string of nearly 30 starts thru early '14 where his stats were as good just about anyone. Then he missed two months and was never really the same afterward.

Worked hard. But his major problem is that he isn't a hard thrower- probably can still have a career somewhere between Ed Lynch or Steve Traschell if he stays healthy. Later

Took the hill Opening Day 2014 against Stephen Strassburg. Performed passably, but tired in the seventh, giving up an RBI double to Anthony Rendon, who came around to score the tying run against the Mets bullpen. The Mets bullpen ultimately coughed it up in extra innings, one of only two Opening Day losses in the last ten for the Flushings.

I was never his biggest fan. Hated the ridiculous beard, didn't care for his politics, and while waiting for him to turn into a pumpkin for three years I sort of missed appreciating a pretty good stretch there. Got ridiculously deep in the doghouse last season. Considering how desperate they were for 6th starters, let him rot out in Vegas and gave his number away. Ouch! Adios, Dillon Gee Your Hairs Smells Terrific

Guest-starred in "Rolling Thunder" by Australian reggae/hip-hoppers Astronomy Class: [youtube]FVG7AJyq4UU[/youtube] [list]I stay in Flushing like I’m Dillon Gee You ain’t gotta open up the comic book to figure who the villain be It’s me doing perfect dives in the Sicilian sea You know I like my bitch with a Brazilian V[/list:u] I know, you're thinking "Didn't I read that in Wordsworth somewhere?" but that's actually Astronomy Class. I'm curious as to whether he sealed his fate with his picking a public fight with the Mets on gun rights/gun safety sealed his fate as much as his public griping about his role. Dillon, we need to talk about the hand that feeds.
