Huge move for the mets!

[Kingdom]

They signed....... wait for it..... wait for it....



...some random but old Asian pitcher! New York Mets, Japanese pitcher Hisanori Takahashi agree - ESPN

Takahashi, a 34-year-old left-hander, posted a 79-66 record in 10 seasons with the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants. He attracted interest from the Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres.

Mofo breathes a sigh of relief as his dodgers lose out on a caddy for Clayton Kershaw.

This is the Mets answer to all the rumored pitchers prior to this? Hilarious! Jon Heyman is going to be baffled and I think it is funny.

Now watch this guy come out and be amazing.

[Kingdom]

He's on the mets. He'll come out.. and go on the DL

[missionhockey21]

So, what is funky about his delivery? Because this has to be a move where a strange pitcher comes into the league, fools a lot of batters, than his game is solved and quickly becomes a near 5.00 ERA pitcher.

Hideo Nome esque? Let's hope we see another invention from Japan! I can't argue that they did bring in one of the best players we have ever seen. And a pitcher that took America by storm. Who knows, maybe this guy will be something...

[DirtyKash]

We laugh at Takahashi no more. Two straight outings of 6-shutout innings. Against the Yankees and Phillies no less. Huh. Who'd have thunk it.

[Kingdom]

Continue with the laughter. DK's ***** was good for 6 ER, 2 walks in 4 innings. DK's other Asian *****, Igarashi, gave up 6 ER, 2 walks in 0.1 innings. Yeeaaaaaah boy.

Against the murder's row that is the Padres offense.... in PetCo Park.

[Kingdom]

Muwhahahahaha.

5 more ER for Take a Shitti
