The Houston Astros rocked Los Angeles Dodgers starter Yu Darvish during his two World Series outings. After Darvish was pulled from Game 7, FOX analyst Alex Rodriguez suggested that the Houston hitters might have known what was coming.
By reading @astros body language in the box and their approach against Darvish, perhaps he was tipping pitches. Astros' hitters capitalized.

Looking at Darvish’s results, it’s awfully hard to argue with A-Rod’s theory.
Yu Darvish in Game 3: 1 2/3IP 6H 4ER 1BB 0K
Darvish in Game 7: 1 2/3IP 3H 5R 4ER 1BB 0K #WorldSeries

That all works out to a 21.60 ERA and a 3.30 WHIP for a pitcher in Darvish who already lost Game 3 and is in line to lose Game 7. It certainly has not been the World Series that he had in mind.
