Series Preview: Yu Darvish is pitching better and the Cubs looked poised to make a run

Yu Darvish has not been elite since returning from Tommy John surgery, but in the four seasons following the procedure (he missed all of 2015), he’s been good, but closer to fine (113 ERA+ in 436 IP); although, really, not much worse than his first three seasons (pre-Tommy John): 128 ERA+ in 545.1 IP.

I guess I’m trying to convince you that he’s still a talented pitcher with some of the coolest, weirdest, and nastiest stuff out there.

Closer-type stuff, and I’m happy to see it. He’s a personal favorite of mine.
