Goodbye to Yu

Yu Darvish did not help his trade value Wednesday night as he was tattooed for ten runs in 3 2/3 innings by the Miami Marlins. The Marlins kept up the scoring all game, winning 22-10. Darvish is the subject of trade rumors, so this may have been his last game with the Rangers.

The low point might have been the home run by Dee Gordon, Gordon’s first of the season. Gordon came into the game with the most AB in the majors without a home run.

The game also included this bit as Adrian Beltre moved closer to 3000 hits:

Adrian Beltre inched closer to 3,000 hits, with a solo home run in the fourth, an RBI double in a three-run sixth and another two-bagger in the seventh. The third baseman is just four hits away from the milestone.

Beltre didn’t get a chance for a fourth hit because he was ejected while waiting on deck in the eighth. Second-base umpire Gerry Davis told Beltre to stand in the on-deck circle — Beltre was on the home-base side of the circle. Instead of moving toward it, Beltre picked up the on-deck circle mat and moved it to where he was standing.

Davis immediately ejected Beltre, who was left dumbfounded after the game.

You need to keep a sense of humor in a blow out.
