    Where's all the smart asses that were ripping on Yu Darvish earlier this year??

    Where's all the fukks saying he was a bust?

    4 and fukkin 0, biiaattcchhess    .

    Darvish is 3-0 and has an 0.89 ERA in his last three starts.

    According to the Elias Sports Bureau, since 1957 (when the first official rules for rookie status were implemented) only five rookie starting pitchers were 4-0 or better in April: 1968 Jerry Koosman (4-0), 1977 Jerry Garvin (4-0), 1981 Fernando Valenzuela (5-0), 1996 Mike Grace (4-0) and 2002 Kazuhisa Ishii (5-0).

    Guy is clearly going to be Rookie of the Year.

    they could have won 10-1 tonight, left men on base in almost every inning

    And this was without their best hitter!

    O.89 ERA in his last 3 starts, including against the Yankees. All he needed was one run to get the win.

    Try again, haters.

    personally, i love the kid, i am 3-0 betting on him, i will bet the juice, i think a good pitcher on a team with good bats vs. the anemic blue jays is a great idea. blue jays can't hit regular pitchers, they're gonna hit darvish? no way

    Ummmmm, might wanna check the stats, he gave up 4 earned runs in the first inning of his first game....and then 4 earned runs since in the remainder of that game and the next 4 games combined!

    Kinda makes "7 runs of support" irrelevant huh?

    then why did he say" 4-0 bitches"? most pitchers in baseball would be 4-0 with 7 runs per game of support... sure he has been solid, so point out those stats... dont say 4-0 and say the rangers win again when both those statements are foolish

    yes this is why pitcher wins are a terrible stat to prove how good a pitcher is. when someone does that, it shows how little they know about the true values used in sports. one can not help but assume they are also bad gamblers.

    also in the playoffs managing become more prevalent, which will continue to hurt the rangers.

    Wins don't mean anything, even ERA is questionable. His WHIP is incredibly high and will eventually catch up with him, I think.
