Happy Felix Day. It *almost* feels like old times, doesn’t it? The M’s are in a bit of a nose dive, and turn to Felix to pull out of it. Felix’s K rate doesn’t exactly remind you of 2010-2014, but on this staff, it’s noteworthy (as is Mike Leake’s, which is nuts). It’s been one of the stories of the early season that the M’s have taken pitching to contact and keeping hitters off-balance to new heights, and it’s another way that they’re moving in an opposite direction from the game as a whole. Of course, more starts like the one we saw yesterday from Erik Swanson should boost the M’s team whiff rates.
