The Yu Darvish thread.

[teknetic]

Debut tonight, I'll be watching and weeping. Here he is making CarGo look like a noob.

Too depressing to think about all the "coulda/shouldas," especially considering that he wouldn't have cost a body. One "coulda" is that we could have had Darvish and kept Montero. So sad, so sickening and why I'm hoping Darvish fails at MLB, but I don't think I'll be so lucky.

Why? Other than him sucking terribly against the Yankees I wish he succeeds at the highest level....its good for baseball.

And Ichiro loops one over Beltre's head...Ichiro 1 Darvish 0

[MoVaughnEatsAlot]

Doesn't look great tonight. Stuff has been unimpressive so far

[THEBOSS84]

Getting slapped around.

[THEBOSS84]

He's given up 4 runs in the first and has recorded only 1 out. Bases are still loaded.

[MoVaughnEatsAlot]

He looks horrible, he might be done this inning or right after it

There were costs other than a body that were in play though. For a guy that has never faced MLB hitters, those are not trivial in any sense.

The Rangers gambled HUGE signing Darvish and letting Wilson walk at less than half the cost.

[THEBOSS84]

He's getting boo'd off the mound. Welcome to the big leagues, kid.

[MoVaughnEatsAlot]

1st inning, 42 pitches, 4 ER, 3 BB, 2 K

[teknetic]

I'm following this on gameday in class, is he nibbling like DiceK?

Looks to me like hes just straight up missing. Looked a bit better last two outs, interested to see how he looks this inning.

[THEBOSS84]

5 runs allowed now, through 1.2 IP.

[hardrain]

Does this guy really deserve his own thread?

[MoVaughnEatsAlot]

His fastball has been consistently up in the zone

[False1]

Aaaaand Rangers fans probably love that CJ Wilson went 7IP of 1 run ball for a victory for LAAoA today.

[MoVaughnEatsAlot]

But does CJ Wilson have 8 pitches??

[Billy #1]

Sayonara Yu overated pitcher you.

[Yanksfanintoronto]

Does this guy really deserve his own thread?

Yes...considering the lack of quality of some of the other threads I see nothing wrong with this one.

[Ram Man]

Thank goodness the Yankees didn't get this guy.

[lolwut]

Sample size.

[Yankee Fan in Boston]

Oh, it would have been fun on here had he had this debut for the Yankees

[nnysiny]

how was his velocity?

[awy]

oh boy
