Feliz 1st start Game Thread

64 pitches through 4 seems pretty reasonable. Seems like he's working faster as he goes.

How does Blake Beaven look? Looks like he's putting up some pretty good numbers so far.

He's doing well but we've given him some help. Some first pitch pop ups, Ian caught stealing, Beltre caught in a pickle.

Well he just retired our 3-5 hitters in order so...

Beautiful catch there Josh!

A LOT better about mixing in his offspeed pitches now and in any count now, just needs to get that fastball established and down

6 changeups & 2 fastballs in that 6th inning, including 3 straight to get Ichiro, I'm really impressed and I've been one of the biggest Feliz to the rotation advocates

The Beltre rundown was irrelevant to the score, all that should have happened was Beltre on 2nd & 1 out, but because of the rundown it ended up being Young on 2nd & 1 out

Only thing that changed was Young ended up scoring instead of Beltre

The willingness to pitch backwards in later innings, and doing so effectively is impressive.

Damn. Beavan at only 76 through 6. Kid's pitching a hell of a game.

 

[jta4437]

Last inning for Feliz, make it a good one

 

[kennyt12]

I'd be really tempted to run him back out for the 7th!

 

[kennyt12]

And there he is pitching the 7th. Go get'm Nefti

The low pitch count shows the impatience of the Rangers hitters more than anything

But he has pitched well

 

[kennyt12]

I love that they're leaving him in the game! Lets see what he's got and let him get out of trouble early in the year so he'll have the confidence to do it later.

It drives me nuts when they're like that. That's why the junk ballers always give them fits.

*feels good about always being a Nefty to the rotation guy*

I'm glad to be proven wrong. Lots of games left though.

I know this is only one game but I still think scotman should come in and say he was wrong about Nefty
