Great news for Japan! Yu Darvish
won “his much anticipated major league debut in the Rangers’ victory”
over Seattle last night, according to the Associated Press.
Please. You had as much to do with that victory as Yu.
Darvish got rocked out of the gate for five runs in the first two innings and
ran into trouble again in the sixth before reliever Alexi Ogando and the
powerful Texas lineup bailed him out. Down 4-0 thanks to Darvish, the
Rangers pasted Mariner starter Hector Noesi and three relievers for 11
runs. Ian Kinsler, Josh Hamilton, Nelson Cruz and Mitch Moreland deserve
the credit for going yard and erasing the ill effects of eight hits,
four walks, one hit-by-pitch and one wild pitch allowed by a whirling
Darvish.
It’s another example of how irrelevant the W is for starting pitchers. Would
the Whigs who defend pitching wins like to argue that Darvish
pitched to the score when he allowed four runs in the top of the first
inning to the worst-hitting team in baseball?
