It was time for Yu Darvish to prove doubters wrong and to start to show why the Chicago Cubs paid so much money for his signing; as for this Friday game against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Japanese was yet to achieve his first W of the campaign.

Even though he hasn't shown so far his best shape in the Cubs uniform, he surely demonstrates glimpses of greatness and some spectacular pitches.

One of his victims was the Brewers catcher Manny Piña, who suffered a nasty super-slow eephus pitch that left him frozen and perplex for the umpire to call the third strike to the delight of all the Wrigley Field.

That's pure filth from you, Darvish.
