Why Did the Dodgers Lose World Series 2017? Yu Darvish Is Now Public Enemy Number One in L.A.

In the biggest moment of his career, on the grandest stage, under the brightest lights, Yu Darvish failed in a way that is unlikely ever to be forgotten by the Los Angeles Dodgers, Houston Astros or anyone with even a remote interest in baseball. Darvish, a four-time All-Star, gave up five runs to the Astros on Wednesday night, bringing to a dramatic conclusion one of the finest World Series in modern collective memory. By the time Darvish was finished, having registered only five outs and failing to complete the second inning—having thrown 47 pitches and given up a home run to George Springer with his 47th and last pitch of the game, “almost certainly the last one he’ll throw as a Dodger,” ESPN opined while sifting through the debris—the game was pretty much up.

I never figured out why they signed him at the trade deadline.
