OK is the rating I would give Yu Darvish for his 3 innings of work today. In some sense he was less than I anticipated after the hype.
Darvish walked his first 2 batters, but benefitted from 2 attempted steals & 2 thrown out by the catcher. Inning #2 was better from a control standpoint. His 3rd inning saw more wildness which resulted in 2 runs.
Maybe he was nervous. Like any pitcher he needs to find the strike zone to be a front-of-the-rotation guy. Otherwise, it's going to be a long year.
