Well... he won. But yeah, bad outing for Darvish. He'll be fine once he gets comfortable.

2nd start was today, he got squeezed early and michael young was unfortunately playing 3rd today instead of adrian beltre which led to the 2 runs he gave up (one was an unearned young error)

but he lost all control by the end of his start and again is really struggling w/his fastball command and by the 3rd time they saw him today they were squaring up on his pitches or not swinging at anything out of the strike zone.

i wouldnt say im worried but i'm curious where this is going (and not exactly in a good way)

His first two starts remind me a lot of Daisuke's and Kei Igawa's. He's got the stuff to make American hitters look silly, but his control is severely lacking right now.

You can have the greatest stuff in the world, but without command.......ummmmm

I imagine he'll sort things out soon.

Darvish has gotten better with each passing start now, and last night is why we paid for him, the movement he gets on his pitches is absolutely filthy
