I watched this a month ago. Darvish is a freak with the spin.
Darvish is good, could be great, but just do the math. He wants to strike everyone out. If you face 27 batters and throw all batters 3 pitches to strike them out, that is 81. You waste one, its 108, they foul a 2 strike pitch off, thats135. This is why it is rare that Darvish makes it thru the 5th or 6th since most hitters get 2 called balls mixed in.
Darvish will be great when he shows confidence in the defense and mixes in a few 5 pitch innings.
