Yu Darvish was not at his best Sunday night.
His fastball, as it occasionally is, was willful when he tried to command it. He gave back two early one-run leads. He exited after five innings a day after the Rangers maxed out their long reliever. It was, quite frankly, about as badly as he has pitched this season.
I've seen enough.
Offer the man a contract, already.
Even when he's been "bad," he's found a way to pitch effectively.
If I'm Jon Daniels, I'm ready to offer him a contract right here and now.
