It's been a rocky 18 months for Darvish, from a poor performance in the 2017 World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers, to an injury-shortened 2018 for the Cubs, to a roller coaster start to the 2019 season.
Despite the slapstick comedy of the pitch above, Darvish pitched well enough to get his first win in almost a year for the Cubs in a 7-2 victory. But it's unlikely he'll ever repeat the 3-men-in-1-pitch feat, so let us continue to revel in its glory.
