What is happening? Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast. You're more pitching podcast from PitcherList.com. My name is Nick Pollack. Today is July 8th.

And yes, we are going to talk about baseball. You Darvish returned. You back man.

Like you Jackman, we even added sideburns on the SP Roundup image. It's beautiful. Thank you so much of Justin and Paris but how did he look I loved it

3.2 innings of 200 runs 3 hits 3 walks 5 case is not the line that you really wanted it's 63

pitches but this is why he's a still ill it's why we don't start pitchers on their first game back

we're gonna do it for Tyler Glasna because he went 80 pitches or so and it's Tyler Glasna fine

but in general we don't do it unless we expect it to be like a top 10 pitcher.

Okay?

So here we go, Darvish, 63 pitches.

What he did was lean a little bit too much on his curveball is a sub 50% strike rate on that

curveball.

I don't like that, but I really love the sweeper in the slider.

Both of them went 80% plus strikes on them.

Really nice.

The fastball was a good velocity at 94.

All of this was quintessential Darvish with just a little bit of weird sequencing at times.

And we're happy.

Twelve whiffs over 63 pitches is fantastic. So you should have Darvish on our teams. It might not be

great over the weekend against the Phillies. But after that, the second half, yeah, Darvish is going

to be a guy you don't drop in your 12th teamer. Zach Gallen, are you going to be holding on him now?

I put him so low on the list last week, 98. And then he had a really good start against the Giants.

And now he had another good start.
