Gave up 4 runs in .1 innings. Anyone know why Arizona let him back on the team?

Must be nostalgia for the 2001 World Series championship.

Which Kim singlehandedly almost cost them.

Which Kim singlehandedly almost cost them.

Precisely.

Kim used to be a solid closer, but he bombed when starting, and I don't see why they would make this move. It's like they want to lose the division.

 

[Vercingetorix]

All most of us will ever remember Kim for is those two terrible outings in Yankee Stadium. I don't know that I'd agree that he BOMBED when starting, completely; his ERAs weren't that bad, considering that he was playing for Colorado. Still, for Arizona of all teams to bring him back and give him meaningful innings in a pennant race is pretty weird.

They released him.
