You may have missed it, but our own Colby Patnode took to our Twitter account to share his thoughts about Félix Hernández following his three-inning, seven-run performance against the Indians yesterday. In short, Colby believes that Félix’s struggles should warrant his exclusion from the Mariners’ Opening Day roster.
Needless to say, these comments did not go over very well with some in the community, even prompting a response from former Mariner and teammate of Félix’s, Eric O’Flaherty:
He’s had one of the greatest careers in Mariner history and the team is having a “step back year” anyway.
