With full knowledge of the fact that hitting 97 mph fastballs is crazy hard, why was everyone so late on them all inning when that was literally all he threw?
Darvish did well with Davis in Arizona, I'm cool with latching onto any shred of an idea that the combination would help him. And it might be working if not for piss lucky doubles and Vanover repeatedly screwing Darvish on pitches at the knees.
At one point in late June 2008, he led the NL in strikeouts (or was really close, I can't remember exactly), which I just thought was completely insane as a reliever at that point of the season.
The guy who has 7 home runs in 90 PAs after 10 in the previous 947? Sure? I don't think it's a hot take to say you'd rather have LaStella's April over Descalso's, but I remain pretty confident that we'll have the better player going forward. And it's not like Descalso has been a scrub either. He's had a pretty good go of it so far.
3 of them were because we played in 3 home openers, all outdoors, and they have the auto-day off after those. The rest I'm just assuming was the schedule makers trolling us.
This isn’t an example of what you are saying but I do remember the Brewers blowing a bases loaded 0 out situation in like the 13th inning of a 2016 game but the Cubs ended up winning The Travis Wood escape. It did occur to me as that last inning was playing out
