Very true. People spent lots of time hand wringing over Perez too.
It is amazing how impatient fans can be with young pitching. I can still remember all of the bad mouthing Derek Holland got during his first couple of years in the big leagues.

The #astros are a dismal 4-18 in last 22 road games. Playoffs ONLY if they can prove they can win on the road.

It's shaping up to be a great off day for the team. Just what they needed before 2 grueling series coming up.

Chi Chi runs into trouble in the 7th after giving up two hits off of the glove of the SS. He gives up a 3 run HR, but somehow the batter who hit the HR passes the baserunner and is out. You don't see that often.

Couldn't pick up a game while winning all weekend, but get a half game back on the off day!

Great night so far. On top of that the White Sox are losing and Indians lost. All the teams in the WC hunt looks like will lose. Forgot, Tigers losing too.

But he played RF the majority of the time.

And he could damn near pitch from RF too. One of the best arms ever.

Must say, I sure liked watching Ichiro toss it in from out there too.

He sure could. May be the greatest RF of all time.

I know there's a bunch of Feldman haters here, but he sure pitched a great game tonight. 8 innings, 0 runs and walks.

I believe he's only given up 3 earned in his last 3 games, which covers 21 innings.

Wut...????
Knew I would hear back from someone. But I did use the words "may be". There is Aaron and Ruth. But Clemente still had some years left and was great all around not just offensively. He was Gold Glove OFer 12 years in a row and won 4 batting titles.
