fathom Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Please don't compare Felix hernandez to Brandon McCarthy. That's not fair to either player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Didn't he have two good starts before this vs. good teams. Why can't we get kids like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh trust me, I know. It was a pre-emptive statement before anyone said that it was only against the Royals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

fathom Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 I'm just happy he's not in the AL Central or on the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

GoodAsGould Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Sox Josh Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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, 2005 by hammerhead johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does El Felix compare to Dwight Gooden in '85 stuff/command-wise? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
