Lock Felix up, Now

Anyone else like how we’re the reason the Rangers are in first, and they’re the reason we’re not? Or…its one way to look at it.

We should have gussied up Betancourt a bit.

Gotten his hair done or something. We were caught unawares!

by royalcurve on Jul 9, 2009 10:06 PM PDT up reply actions

Oh, on a side note

Felix’ reaction made Guti’s HR about 10x better for me

by JLC on Jul 9, 2009 9:52 PM PDT reply actions

It's not even a side note for me, the reaction was amazing.

That homer was priceless, and the reaction by Felix made water come out of my eyes. He so deserved that. I absolutely love these guys.

by Sinking Away on Jul 9, 2009 10:08 PM PDT up reply actions

Yeah, Felix was absolutely pumped.

I love how he had the towel over his head, then heard the crack of the bat and jumped up and went crazy. I’m sure you could hear Felix screaming from CF if you were at the game.

Adam Moore is now hitting .310 in Tacoma.

I know he’s not ready and batting average is a horrible metric but I want to so badly.

Am I retarded

Or has Felix modified his delivery somewhat so his back is more to the hitter before delivering the ball to the plate.

Like, Kevin Brown back to the hitter-ish.

Fans are typically idiots.

by The Typical Idiot Fan on Jul 9, 2009 9:59 PM PDT reply actions

I noticed that too. He's rotating his trunk and turning his back on the batter alot more in his windup now than before.

by Decatur on Jul 9, 2009 10:44 PM PDT up reply actions

Yea, I pointed that out at the game.

His wind up was very Bedard-ish.

Heh. That's when I noticed it.

by Decatur on Jul 9, 2009 11:44 PM PDT up reply actions

My only issue

Is that Kevin Brown had a ton of injury issues that a lot of people attributed to that wind-up. So that kindof sucks. Felix was interesting tonight as he was working very quickly. On a few occasions, it seemed like the Rangers weren’t even ready by the time the pitch crossed the plate. It was an excellent game, and Felix was using some new techniques that intrigued.

by Bodhizefa on Jul 9, 2009 10:53 PM PDT up reply actions

So your only issue is completely irrelevant

that’s good, right?

For the first time in years I no longer miss Mike Cameron

I mean, I still kinda miss Cameron, but I feel as if we finally have a replacement I can really like.

I can't get over Felix striking out the side, and throwing repeated change ups in the dirt top of the 8th.

Nuts!

by Kermit. on Jul 9, 2009 10:07 PM PDT reply actions

That was quite a inning. The pitches could not have been better.

by Sinking Away on Jul 9, 2009 10:10 PM PDT up reply actions

His change-up...

has basically become a split-finger pitch these days as it’s running in the low 90’s most of the time. And I gotta say, I’m fine with that.

by Bodhizefa on Jul 9, 2009 10:48 PM PDT up reply actions

I personally wouldn't know a split-finger pitch from a change-up, and

I don’t care. It didn’t look like the Texas could figure it out either.

I didn't realize that Torii Hunter was that average defensively.

I thought he was supposed to be really good.

He was a few years ago.

But ESPN still thinks he’s God.

Well he is almost 34 now.

And most of that time he’s been crashing into walls.

I got into a very long argument over this with an Angels blogger

The only thing he could say was that I obviously wasn’t watching him play, and that he was making ESPN’s top plays frequently.

He makes a lot of jumping and diving catches but his range is not what it used to be regardless

Dogs catching frisbees occasionally make ESPN's top plays.

Tonight, right after the cute guy in the chart hit the home run

some delinquents in my neighborhood (who have been lighting their left-over fireworks all week) lit off some more. Unlike last night, I didn’t even notice tonight. It seemed so appropriate, the homerun, the fireworks, it seemed natural. I only mention it because my daughter just reminded me that they were out there. I told her, of course they’re out there, they’re M’s fans.
