nope, you’re right on the money. i think it’s going to be a tough division really and both fellow coasties need to be handled firmly from the very beginning! i like what i’m seeing in these divisional match-ups so far though!

Phightin Phils: I was wondering what was up with that. I noticed him looking into his glove in wonder after the play, but I didn’t see the ball spinning.

One quick Beltre note:
That line drive he caught, I think in the 3rd off of Ellis…on HD, you can see the ball spinning in his glove, and him enjoying his catch.

He’s good at what he does, and he enjoys the little things

MSB – its so much talent at such a young age. thats what is scary. look at guys like prior and wood …

hes like neo / the ‘one.’ NO body knows what to do with the King .. but the fact of the Matter is he dominated the A’s in 115 pitches at age 22. Dominated.

I was just thinking. Lord, don’t let Felix get hurt this year. He looks real good this year. So much smarter with his pitches. That pitch on the DP in the 8th was amazing. Outside corner with two strikes set up to be hit into a double play. It would be so sweet for him to have a chance at 20 this year.

Nights like these make the rest of the week worth it. Maybe if we all concentrate hard enough we can collectively regenerate a hip and feel this way twice a week. Buen hecho Rey!

1) Felix asked to be put back in b/c of the backlash last time he was taken out with a similar pitch count

2) McLaren is somehow going back on his early season example and sending him back out so he doesnt look like a moron again

3) this game, when it is warmer as well as 2 weeks further into the season, Felix felt 100% when the 9th rolled around.
