King Felix was "meh" tonight- 8ip 1er 6h 5k. W.

 

[gt2590]

"King's" ERA is 1.52. He's now allowed 1 or less ER in 6 of his 8 starts.

Zito out-dueling Pettibon and also had RBI single to make it 3-1 at SF...

its crazy how great he is. he doesn't come with his A-game and he still tops everyone else. I will mark him down as the CY this year.

also, its worth noting the strike zone was tiny today.

Alan Webster and Doubrant not pitching so well against the Twins.

Webster - 1.2 IP, 6 H, 8 ER
Doubrant - 0.1 IP, 3 H, 3 ER

And Pedro Hernandez isn't pitching well for the Twins.

Hernandez - 1.2 IP, 6 H. 6 ER


Any guesses on the final score?

 

[gt2590]

I guess Peavy doesn't need to go on the DL.

And some of the Tweets, posted on MLBN about the blown HR call in Cleveland, especially the ones by A's were pretty funny...

Could Carlos Gomez be any hotter right now? I know it's only been a month and some change, but after going 4/4 tonight with a triple and a double, he's hitting .386!
