Felix appears to be a 5 inning pitcher. Either the 1st or the last of 6 innings and he sux. They should have him skip a start sometime. :229031_shrug:
The bullpen has been solid so far, one bad outing is no reason to panic. It does bite that we had a chance to overtake the 'Stros and dropped the ball. It's a long season. At least parts of the batting order are waking up.
I agree Sutz. For me, that's the most disappointing thing about Felix this season. He just doesn't seem to have the endurance. It seems he's stuck in spring training mode. He used to be the one that consistently was out there for 7+ innings now he barely makes it to 5 innings. Hope he can snap out of whatever seems to be holding him back.
I heard the term the other day. Every Felix start looks like a 'bullpen' day. The other starters have been going 6-7 on a regular basis. I was saying last season that Felix should probably not get more than 3-4 starts a month. I hate to say he's done, but if he can't get over thinking he can still throw a fastball by today's hitters, he won't make the transition to being a finesse pitcher. And if he doesn't or won't make that transition, he is done.
