09:56 AM ET 05.13 | During a rain delay of an hour, 56 minutes in the first inning Friday, Rangers manager Ron Washington and his staff discussed the merits of bringing back starter Yu Darvish when play resumed. There was sentiment to protect Darvish by removing him and bringing in long reliever Scott Feldman. Darvish ended the discussion. He was "ridiculously adamant," Washington said, about staying in the game. The Rangers granted Darvish's wish. He pitched an additional 4 1/3 innings after play resumed and got the win in a 10-3 victory against the Los Angeles Angels. Darvish reported no ill effects a day later and is scheduled to make his next start on normal rest against Oakland on Wednesday. "You don't think that fires the team up, when one of the pitchers won't be denied?" Washington said.

Odd headline. Darvish's record in Japan certainly indicates that he's a gamer and a team-player. The Rangers have to be happy with his record and attitude to date.

Campare Darvish with his adament refusal to leave the game and Beckett's unwillingness to pitch with a sore muscle but a muscle but not too sore to play golf. Who would you want on your team?

If it was in 2003 or 2007, I'd want Beckett, but right now I'd choose Darvish over Beckett.

I thought it was more odd that the Angels brought CJ to pitch the next day. I'd think that is more risky (you get tight after a start even if it's only for an inning) than having a guy stay loose during a rain delay and going back out there for a three or four more innings. But I was one of those who KNEW Darvish was going to be an effective top-of-the-line starter.

Your headline isn't an acceptable English translation of your story. At all.

Beckett is a tool. He once had the potential to be a great pitcher, but let his ego and childish attitude get in the way.

It wasn't for an inning...it was one-third of an inning. Besides, after CJ returned to his hotel room, he took a couple of Midol and was fine for the saturday start.
Seriously, what's so difficult about pitching on consecutive days? Relievers do it all the time and CJ was a reliever and a closer three years ago. He threw 22 pitches friday only went 5 2\3 saturday. it's not like he was expected to throw a complete game.
I think Scoscia took him out because it was obvious the Rangers were going to hammer him and Scoscia didn't want him to become even more embarrassed. Wilson is a self-absorbed, d - -k and always comes up small in big games. There is a reason why he wasn't wanted back with the Rangers after winning 16 games last season.

He seems to be the real deal but Dice K taught me to reserve my judgement on the Japanese imports. I'll give it a few years before I judge. Obviously Consistency is the key
