I'm really pullin' for the M's this year. Signing Bedard will hopefully complete the rotation. But this post is dedicated to Felix. He's off to a great start.
He picked up his second win of the season tonight against Oakland. Currently, Oakland is off to the best start in the A.L. West, so every win against a team in the division is crucial.
Here's his stats: (2-0) 30.2 IP, 1.47 ERA, 24Ks
Felix is only 22 years old and this has been his best start since the M's brought him up 3 years ago. He struggled with injuries the last couple years, and this year he looks as fresh as ever. The great thing is that he can be a nine inning guy. He showed that tonight against the A's throwing a CG and only 115 pitches. That's what manager John McLaren likes to see.
Of course behind every good pitcher there has to be stellar defense, as well as a powerful offense. Luckily, both are picking up, and they can put something together to get the win. The wonderful word momentum comes back again. The M's are on a 2 game win streak with momentum going their way. It should be an interesting week. The M's face Oakland again tomorrow, then head south to face the other divisional leader, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
