Shut it down, shut it all down.

Yu Darvish had been waiting a year and a half to get back at Justin Verlander over a tweet, and he finally got his revenge.

First, let’s travel back to April 2018 when Darvish tripped while rounding second base after hitting a double and had to dive back to the bag in an embarrassing move. Verlander mocked the Chicago Cubs pitcher for the blunder.

Yu…. . Not doing a lot here to help us dispel the pitchers aren’t athletes thing. https://t.co/685zoAJzXf

— Justin Verlander (@JustinVerlander) April 27, 2018

Well guess what happened? Sure enough during Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night, Verlander committed an equally embarrassing play on the mound. And guess who was there with a nearly identical payback tweet?

What goes around comes around, eh Verlander?

Darvish man, the guy is an even better tweeter than pitcher.
