August 16, 200520 yr Yeah, he's good. Thru 5 innings, 1 hit and 9 K. I know, I know...it's against KC. Remember how great our pitching phenom did against the Royals?
August 16, 200520 yr Please don't compare Felix hernandez to Brandon McCarthy. That's not fair to either player.
August 16, 200520 yr Didn't he have two good starts before this vs. good teams. Why can't we get kids like this?
August 16, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 03:33 AM) Please don't compare Felix hernandez to Brandon McCarthy. That's not fair to either player. Oh trust me, I know. It was a pre-emptive statement before anyone said that it was only against the Royals.
August 16, 200520 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 10:34 PM) Didn't he have two good starts before this vs. good teams. Why can't we get kids like this? He faced the Tigers in his ML debut and his last start was against the Tigers. He the best pitching prospect in baseball and possibly the best since Doc Gooden, which means noone gets pitching prospects like this.
August 16, 200520 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) I'm just happy he's not in the AL Central or on the Cubs. It would be nice if he was tucked away in the NL West never to see daylight. We'll have to face him once or twice a year, it's not going to be fun.
August 16, 200520 yr Idonno I love watching good pitching so ill be happy when we see him even if it means will be a tough game to watch. Good pitching is more enjoyable than good hitting to me... especially if its our team doing the good pitching

August 20, 200520 yr Author Well, Cy Hernandez has given up 2 runs in the first inning to the Twins. Not only that, but Lew Ford is doing his best Torii Hunter impersonation in CF.
August 21, 200520 yr According to the SI that i have with an article on Felix his Hero growing up was Freddy Garcia. It would be cool to see them face each other.

Not only that, but Lew Ford is doing his best Torii Hunter impersonation in CF. And then he gave up only two hits over his next 7 innings. Altogether, he allowed 2 runs and struck out 9 over 8 innings. This kid is f***ing insane. I got lucky and I picked him up on my soxtalk fantasy squad before he made his first big league start. I wasn't expecting straight-up dominance like this. Edited August 21, 200520 yr by hammerhead johnson

Roger Clemens? Pedro?

Roger Clemens? Pedro? Brando, He is along the lines as the early Gooden, but we truly wont know how good he is until he matures a bit and they let him throw all of his pitches. But his curve his very remminicent of Gooden's.
August 23, 200520 yr QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) We may even face him next week at Safeco. I was looking at the probables, we will face Felix on the 1st game of the series.
