Last night we saw something from Felix Hernandez that we don't see very often. Three innings of perfection followed by 5 walks and 7 runs. A stunning turnaround that had many scrambling for answers when the game ended. Was it the muddy pitching mound or was he just off?
"I just thought he got a little fast with his delivery," Rick Waits told me on the radio pre game show today. "He got a little out of his mechanics a little bit, something you rarely see it from him, but you do see it. If anything, the timing was off and he was missing with his fastball and knowing Felix, he was trying really hard to find another pitch, change up, curveball, slider, something that he could get back in the count with and he just battled.
