    I am not doubting he's going to be an outstanding pitcher. But best stuff in the game? Not just yet.
    Okay, I already mentioned that the M's are keeping a tight rope on him. They're making sure his pitch count doesn't get too much higher than 100 for health purposes. They don't want his arm to blow out at a young age like every other young phenom that has come out throwing blazing fastballs like that.

    ...does anybody read a damn thing that I say? I mean, I'm not right all the time, but I think I do have some information that could help out sometimes. I feel like people see the length of my post and just pass it by. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm taking offense to something stupid, but I am an aspiring writer; it bugs me when I have to repeat something I've already said or written.

    I'm not really upset or anything, just wondering if the info got through at all.

      I am not buying he's only pitching 4 and 5 innings a start based purely on pitch counts. He has not been effective for the most part. Although last game he was.

      As far as reading what you wrote. I didn't know we were obligated to take what you post as the final say

        wow that would be nice if it was like that, but teams don't care about blowing arms out, sure they say that, but it is all about winning. My friends Chris Gambs were drafted in the 2nd out of high school by the Giants and was up their with Todd V, and Brien Taylor in 91. He had wicked stuff too, blow his arm out. My other friend Scott Harrison, same story. I am not saying they are heartless, but if you can win games now, they will do it! That is the business side, but I could be wrong, those are just my experiences! Hopefully they are taking these special percussion on this kid!

          My guess, he's wearing a uniform that says "Mariners" on the front, hence he's pitching below average to crappy. J/K, really I think he's just young and going through a slump, he's way to good to stay like this. He'll turn it around soon.

            Re: What's the scoop with Felix Hernandez?

            Short answer: Command and Velocity

            Long Answer:

            He's had four starts this season, 22 innings is nothing.

            He struggled in two starts this season, where his velocity wasn't consistently 95+ the entire game, and he didn't have the command of his fastball and curveball that he had last season.

            He looks a little out of shape and his shin splint issue that caused him to miss the end of spring training probably didn't help.

            He is on a strict 100 pitch count but that has nothing to do with why he hasn't gotten past the 5th inning consistently. He walked four guys in his first two starts and he was going deep into counts, he just didn't have command in those games.

            This all being said...there is nothing to be worried about at this point.

            As bad as he's been he STILL has the highest strike out rate in the major leagues and the 3rd best ground ball percentage.

            His last start: 7 innings 1 ER 9 k's 1 walk .......98 pitches. During the game he recorded every out with either a ground out or a strike out....no fly balls.

            I think he will be fine. I'll use this thread to keep everyone updated.

            Anyways.....what's up with Peavy? 5.17 era....dominate one game, 6 runs the next.

            Or Santana...4.81 era 0-3?

            What was the point of this thread? I could make a post about both those guys.

              He may have the worst stuff in the league, but a few starts (good or bad) to begin the season doesn't mean anything.

                If that's the case, then he needs to go back to the minors. IMO age isn't very relative here. Experience and knowledge of MLB hitters is. I know the Mariner's are being careful with him, but pulling him early has much more to do with Felix not performing instead of watching his innings.

                A lot of factors could go into this. Despite his very good stuff, maybe he's lazy? Maybe he doesn't spend enough time in the video room analyzing hitters? Maybe he's just in a funk right now?

                Regardless, it's too early too tell.

                  Peavy has been inconsistent this year. I am not yet going to say pitching in the WBC had anything to do with it, but he has not been the same pitcher this year.

                  As far as the point of this thread, I didn't know we needed your approval for thread topics.

                    Jonny Gomes leads the AL in homers...and rbi's...It's very early.

                    I could understand the topic if Felix was getting lit up but he's just been a little inconsistent in two of his starts.

                      You are missing the point. A while back all the Seattle fans were calling this guy the next great one. And talking about he has the best stuff ever and all this B.S, which is funny, but I understand because that is how fans are. I just know he is young and he will take his lumps just like Matt Cain lol.

                        Heh. That's funny, I can't seem to remember anyone saying that Felix had "the best stuff ever", and all I can recall about him being "The next great one" is that fans in Seattle HOPED he would become as such. Hopes and Dreams are all you've got when your team has been in a "rebuilding phase" for the past 3 years...and still pretty much sucks...

                        But yeah, if any Mariner's fan ever gave you any B.S. about Felix being some huge guaranteed future hall of fame superstar or something...then you must be talking to one of the few ******** M's fans.

                          I don't know who it all was, but it always cracks me up when some player is young and tearing it up their first season and then all the fans come out and say this is the greatest player ever! I am hype about Cain, but he has a lot to learn, if he does then he can be something special, but you never know! He could be a flop too!

That's funny, I can't seem to remember anyone saying that Felix had "the best stuff ever", and all I can recall about him being "The next great one" is that fans in Seattle HOPED he would become as such. Hopes and Dreams are all you've got when your team has been in a "rebuilding phase" for the past 3 years...and still pretty much sucks...

                              But yeah, if any Mariner's fan ever gave you any B.S. about Felix being some huge guaranteed future hall of fame superstar or something...then you must be talking to one of the few ******** M's fans.
                              Here you go.

My friends Chris Gambs were drafted in the 2nd out of high school by the Giants and was up their with Todd V, and Brien Taylor in 91. He had wicked stuff too, blow his arm out. My other friend Scott Harrison, same story. I am not saying they are heartless, but if you can win games now, they will do it! That is the business side, but I could be wrong, those are just my experiences! Hopefully they are taking these special percussion on this kid!
                                You must have went to John Swett, no? I played against Scott Harrison. Dude could bring it for sure.
