Any chance he retires in embarrassment?

Wacha's first hit was pure luck, though. He bounced a ball down the third base line with a 73 mph exit velocity, and Bote was playing pretty far off the line. That ball is an easy out almost all the time.

That’s part of the weirdness.

9 pitches in the 5th for Darvish, 8 balls, and another ball that was called a strike because the umpire felt sorry for him. Just awful.

How can a guy who had been so good his entire career suddenly be so bad?

And by the way, that was another 81 pitch start for a Cubs starter...just with drastically different results. 41 balls thrown today, up from 18 yesterday.

Martinez flies to the wall in CF. 1 out, DeJong tags and goes to third.

Molina HBP, bases loaded. Fowler up. Cardinals are threatening to get all four runs right back.

Grounder to Bote gets the Cubs out of the inning. The Cubs really might have hit on something with Kyle Ryan.

He looked decent the other day, too.

Almora is not much of a hitter.

Ryan gives up a 1 out single to Carpenter in the 6th, so Joe has to overmanage and go to Brach.

Problem is people keep thinking this. Darvish has basically had one excellent season and two good ones. The rest of the time he either hasn't been very good or he's been hurt.
