I love it when athletes show us that it’s ok to have fun on social media. After all, isn’t that what it’s all about? If you have followed Yu Darvish at all you know he’s quite the character. From his “eat fried chicken till death” comments, to Wednesday night’s roasting of Houston Astros pitcher, Justin Verlander.

545 days ago, Verlander posted this roasting of Darvish. Verlander, himself, is a pretty good Twitter follow as well.

So when Verlander made a pretty good barehanded play running to his right, then following it up by tossing the ball off his own leg, Darvish pounced.
