Yu Darvish

Two notes from early in Yu's first MLB game...

Fox Sports Southwest made a huge deal out of his debut. Big pregame stuff. Then they go to commercial, and when they come back, he's already thrown his first two pitches.

Later in that really long top of the first, Tom Grieve said (something like) this, "A couple of balls have been hit pretty hard, but a couple of them have been chinkers." Yes. Chinkers. I assume he was referring to Ichiro's bloop to left, but maybe that's just his new word for weak hits off of Darvish.
