I know people talk about sitting Martin (which doesn't make sense to me) but Guti should be the one that should be concerned as we head into the month of June... He hasn't done much of anything when he's gotten the call off of the bench...

Felix getting himself into a jam...

My biggest knock on Felix. 8 up, 8 down with the pitcher up who is batting .053 and he throws him curve, curve, curve and the guy puts it in play for a 15 foot single. He so badly wants to be a pitcher and not a thrower he does these cute moves instead of throwing; good morning, good afternoon, and then goodnight fastballs! Now bases are loaded when he should be on the bench watching the offense.

I agree. Just poor pitch selections by felix. He also loses focus when he gets himself into a jam.

Felix gets out of a bases-loaded jam... On pace for a 6 inning game...

Yep, which takes his pitch counts higher than they should be... He tends to do that to himself more than he should...

So he went from 31 thru 3 to 52 pitches thru 3 meaning on pace for CG to maybe making 6 IP. SMH!

Damn... That boomstick is scary. His exit velocity can hurt people.

 

[Podunkparte]

473... holy shit

 

[Anointed One]

Guti w/ the bomb, 3 rbi's... Good for him, he needed that...

4 runs for Felix through 4 so far...

 

[Itsmytime]

Felix just creamed his pantalones seeing this run support!

Absolutely destroyed. That was 473 feet and 112mph off the bat. Guti with the . Second-longest home run in baseball this year.

Damn, that guti home run was crushed

 

[Anointed One]

Wow... A STOLEN BASE!

 

[Anointed One]

Nice turn by Cano/O'Malley... I hope it's nothing serious w/ Marte...

 

[NWinAZ]

 

[Anointed One]

How can you walk the dang pitcher?

 

[cezero]

felix walking the pitcher and all hell about to break loose with bases loaded and 2 out, just like earlier in the game

he deserves this loss if it happens

 

[Anointed One]

Something w/in me doesn't feel too comfortable w/ only 4 runs up on the board... Felix may only go another 1/3 or 2/3's of an inning...

 

[Anointed One]

Very happy to see Guti finally have a solid game at the plate... He's hit the ball hard each of his 3 ab's...
