Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu DARVISH!

what a gem that almost was...
8 2/3rds perfecto, 14ks (which would have tied the most K's in a perfect game) 1 ball out of the infield! (course, it should be said, it was against the Houston AAA-stros)

I love that he pitches out of the stretch all the time... doesnt have to change his delivery at all if someone actually got on base.

Raymond, you son of a bitch!

Remy has been on this guy's case for years; there's finally a real reason to be.

I think I could strike out at least 3 Houston Astros without issuing a walk...

I don't think you could.

Are the Astros the worst non-expansion team ever assembled?

did anybody else really enjoy the dugout reaction to middlebrooks almost 4th HR?

i feel like last season, bobby-v would have told guys to sit down so that the camera's could show him on the top step.

Name 3 Astros not named Pena, Altuve, or Ankiel? LOL
what was the stat i saw the other day? 46 strike outs to 1 walk in the first 3 games?

and 14 more strike outs today!

thats 74 K's in 6 games
to 9 walks
a TEAM batting avg of .199
and a team obp of .234

I was gonna say I can still throw a pretty good knuckle... but after what R.A. Dickey did today...

R.A. looked like a deer in the headlights today. Guy is going to finnish with a 4.5 plus ERA this year....

I would feel worse about his start yesterday... but then I remember he's two starts into the season and was just as good as Price, Cain and Hamels yesterday.

Loved that reaction. I'm not going to lie, I love this team so far. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

Also, trading their best prospect for dickey and then giving him 25 beans is looking like a great deal by the jays so far.

Norah · Post by **Norah** » Mon April 08, 2013 9:09 pm

Yeah, they've sucked me back in.

I think two starts into the season is a bit early to make that call.

If he werent a 38 year old knuckleballer with one great season, one decent season, and 15 years of mediocrity when at his best, sure, it would be. That trade/contract looked just as insane when they did it as it does now.

unless he goes on to have a tremendous year after two bad starts. with all the things to talk about at this point in the season and this thread in general, this seems like a useless street to drive down.

He's had two very good season followed by one outstanding season. I don't see how the fact that he's a knuckleballer reflects negatively on his value.
