    Think Yu Darvish was nervous?

    First inning line: 42 pitches, 3 BB, 4 hits, 4 ER, 2K.

    Hideo Nomo had a few seasons. Dice k worked, for a year. it's definately tough sledding here in the states, but you can tell Darvish has good stuff. The problem is that even though these guys come to America at young ages, they've already played like 7-8 years of pro ball. They're bodies are already about to decline.

    He'll be fine. Too talented to fizzle out. At least he has a western world delivery.

    Really? I expected a good performance, just based on the opponent.

    Darvish will be very good, nto everyone can be an ace on their first game... He's got great stuff, he just needs to adjust.. Let's not get all uptight on the first game unless some of you were retarded enough to lay the juice tonight on him.

    Yu kicking ass. He's gonna be good. Can't blame the kid for being a nervous wreck in his debut. He's settled in nicely now.

    Fortunately, Ranger bats taking batting practice on these fukks from Seattle.

    Yes. With everything considered, he handled himself well. If Feliz can pan out....they will be back in WS.

    yeah he mechanics were clearly ****** up, because he wanted to go out there and blow out the world. you can't do that and be a pitcher. give him a few starts, he will be fine. he has the best stuff out of any asian pitcher that has ever came over thus far. so its hard just to say, 'has asian pitchers ever worked out'.
