Rob Dibble, a two-time major league All-Star relief pitcher from Southington, is out as a baseball analyst and radio announcer at ESPN. "ESPN has decided not to renew Rob Dibble's contract," ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said Thursday.
Dibble was co-host of "The Dan Patrick Show" on ESPN Radio and locally on WPOP 1410. He also worked ESPN's "Baseball Tonight," which has featured a revolving cast of analysts in recent years, including Steve Phillips, John Kruk and former Mets manager and Stamford native Bobby Valentine."
Recent additions have strengthened our MLB analysts team, and radio programming is constantly evolving,"Krulewitz said. "We feel that 'The Dan Patrick Show' is best hosted solely by Dan."
Dibble, 40, won a World Series ring with Cincinnati in 1990, when he was co-MVP of the NLCS. He combined with Randy Myers and Norm Charlton to form the "Nasty Boys" bullpen, a moniker he carried into broadcasting, including a year in the Fox studio in 1997.
