The Chicago Cubs’ Yu Darvish doesn’t have his split-fingered fastball working. The future is now for the Cubs pen. And Nico Hoerner is making adjustments, albeit small.
The Chicago Cubs’ Yu Darvish doesn’t have his split-fingered fastball. At least not now. It was evident as he allowed five consecutive hits, including a grand slam by former Cub and current White Sox’ Eloy Jimenez. I know he was going to be good–but not THAT good.
The inning was ended after a 29-first inning. He recovered after that and retired eight out of 10 batters.
