I misinterpreted an earlier comment that at a quick glance seemed dismissive of Darvish, and I stand corrected on that. Sorry.

If you have DirecTV they are doing a free preview of extra innings.

3BB and 11K would be a hell of a debut. I’m sure any ranger fan would take that any day of the week and twice on sunday.

I live in DC and pay for MLB.com every year so I can watch the Rangers. It’s worth it. You get to watch pretty much whatever you want.

pkswally, the MLB extra innings package currently has a free preview, so if you have DirecTV or a television provider with the MLB package, you’ll be able to watch.

As for the commenter who seems convinced already that Darvish sucks, you need to educate yourself a little. There’s a very strong chance that he makes the feeble M’s lineup look silly tonight and for many more outings going forward. Darvish is as legit as it gets.

I’m betting he goes 7+ innings with 3ERs, 3BB, and 11Ks…I think he walks a couple in the second inning, gets hit some in the 2nd and 3rd and then settles down. All ERs will be HR fed.

Im thinking it will take at least half a season til the hitters catch up to him – once they get the scouting reports together will be the real test.

I just cannot believe Nolan Ryan would throw $110 million at a guy who isn’t legit. My money says hes the real deal.

Oh and for the record im not a big fan of that ornery asshole grass salesman (Ryan) – but he sure knows his pitching.

I hope the nickname ‘Whirling Darvish’ gets picked up.

Not likely, unless you’re paying for Extra Innings or MLB.tv, or maybe have a dish.

This should provide a solid test for the new-look Mariner offense (25 hits, 15 runs in last two games) as well. A better opponent than ANY starter in Oakland, for sure.
