August 16, 200521 yr The kid has thrown 5 shutout innings so far with NINE strikeouts, ZERO walks, and only 1 hit allowed, and has a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 5th.
August 16, 200521 yr Author it is the royals remmber.... ps: How'd the White Sox do tonight? 903713[/snapback] We finished the night with a 12 game lead and the best record in baseball, so i'm feeling good.
August 16, 200521 yr Felix is just unreal. It's scary to think how good he can be and that he is only 19.
August 16, 200521 yr Mike Maroth pitched 8 and 2/3 innings of shutout ball against the Royals Sunday... :plain
August 16, 200521 yr Author Ugh.....the kid doesn't control who he pitches against.... but yeah, let's hate on Felix and his 0.49 (and falling) ERA.... :plain
August 16, 200521 yr Author Through 6 scoreless now, but he did have 0 k's that inning, hit a batter, and threw a WP. :plain
August 16, 200521 yr Gonna make a bold statement right now: I take Felix Hernandez over anyone else in all of baseball if I am given 1st choice to start my team with. Let the hate begin.
August 16, 200521 yr Author Back to back singles to start the 7th.... It's 6-0 Seattle, safe lead, but interesting to see how Hernandez responds here (even if it is KC).
August 16, 200521 yr Author He rolls up a potential 6-4-3, but the throw to 1st pulls Sexson off the bag. 1st and 3rd 1 out for KC.
August 16, 200521 yr Author Back to back 6-4 fielders choices, run scores to make it 6-1 And now Teahan is strikeout victim #10 to end the 7th inning.... If the 2B could throw, it's another doughnut for the king this inning.
August 16, 200521 yr Ugh.....the kid doesn't control who he pitches against.... but yeah, let's hate on Felix and his 0.49 (and falling) ERA.... :plain 903725[/snapback] Im not hating, Im just saying he has faced three weak opponents. He is a huge talent, I just wanna see him dominate a good lineup, not the worst team in baseball.
August 16, 200521 yr Gonna make a bold statement right now: I take Felix Hernandez over anyone else in all of baseball if I am given 1st choice to start my team with. Let the hate begin. 903739[/snapback] Over Albert Pujols?
August 16, 200521 yr Gonna make a bold statement right now: I take Felix Hernandez over anyone else in all of baseball if I am given 1st choice to start my team with. Let the hate begin. 903739[/snapback] Over Albert Pujols? 903758[/snapback] I was thinking the same thing.
August 16, 200521 yr Author Ugh.....the kid doesn't control who he pitches against.... but yeah, let's hate on Felix and his 0.49 (and falling) ERA.... :plain 903725[/snapback] Im not hating, Im just saying he has faced three weak opponents.

August 16, 200521 yr Author Rough outing for Andy Sisco, who has been good for the Royals. Gave up a 2 run homer to Sexson, and now a single and walk before being taken out with 2 outs. I would be surprised if Hernandez pitches anymore tonight, a long break here, thrown 90 pitches, and has an 8-1 lead. EDIT: Showing yet again i'm a dope, they showed Felix heading back to the mound as they went to commercial :lol :notworthy
August 16, 200521 yr Author 1st pitch of the 8th.....fly out to center 2nd batter with the good old backwards k for #11 of the night overall 3rd batter grounds out to 2nd. EASY inning, only 9 pitches (99 for the game). Might as well let him finish it now (with that said, he's coming out now I bet :lol )
August 16, 200521 yr Author This is a bloodbath, 11-1 Seattle now.... Kansas City has 38 wins right now, not sure if they will even make it to 40 :plain And ANOTHER pitching change for KC, brutal...
August 16, 200521 yr Author The 8th inning is over (thank God) And Hernandez is done for the night: 8 IP 3 H 1 R (earned) 1 BB 11 K's 99 pitches Out ratio: 11 SO, 9 GO, 4 FO And we can safely say he gets the win (and now it's official, he has the win with an 11-3 final) so he's 2-1 with an 0.86 ERA. EDIT: Wow, the Royals have lost 16 in a row... :plain
August 16, 200521 yr Gonna make a bold statement right now: I take Felix Hernandez over anyone else in all of baseball if I am given 1st choice to start my team with. Let the hate begin. 903739[/snapback] Over Albert Pujols? 903758[/snapback] I'd take Albert #2. I like pitching over hitting. I just honestly think Hernandez is the best pitching talent I can remember seeing. (Don't remember watching Gooden).

I just honestly think Hernandez is the best pitching talent I can remember seeing. (Don't remember watching Gooden). 903778[/snapback] There are way too many variables and things that can effect a young pitcher with injuries, teams figuring him out, etc. As for me, Id have to see him do it for a t least a year before I thought he would be a player to develop my team around.
August 16, 200521 yr I know Felix is only 19, but if I had to take 1 young pitcher to start a team with, right now it's Zach Duke. I'll take the young stud lefty over the young stud righty everyday(not to discount our own very young and talented Olsen and Vargas, they'd be picked down the line).
August 16, 200521 yr I am not hating, He wont me 2 catagories in two different fantasy leagues :dances: Him and Franscour are both great pick ups Seriously though, this kid could be a monster. For as long as he is up there, He should be enjoyed by seattle for a few years before he ends up in pinstripes or bosox red. Or Cubs or ...
