I don't think Felix truly believes every game can't be a perfect game
and that's awesome.

yay defense!
Man, these first two games have been brutal for defense.
Texas is throwing out a 5 Kata defense, and the M's look about 3-3.5 (a new statistic based on expected runs allowed if Matt Kata played that number of positions; it's an exponential scale).
I kept hoping that the M's DER would regress to the mean, in large part because Graham told me it would. I'm still waiting.
Damn it. Eh, I guess if I was Felix I'd rather face Hamilton too.

The only thing I haven't like from Felix so far
Were those two high fastballs to Hamilton....but they did strike him out, so no harm no foul.
The rest of it, no problem at all, almost perfect.
