Hernandez allows 2 Hits and K's 8 in 3-0 Win over Round Rock

Felix Hernandez had by far his best start of his season. Going 7 innings hes allowed just a measly double and single. Striking out 8 batters in the process. If He keeps that up he and Campillo will be in the M's rotation by Mid June.

[Steak]

Hernandez needs to come this year if the Mariners desperately need fannies in the seats at Safeco Field after witnessing lot of empty seats this year.

[Porter]

If he keeps pitching like that, he might be up very soon. Boone kinda brought it up in yesterdays News-Tribune.

[MarinersFan87]

Seriously, I gurantee that we would average probably at least 2k more on days that Felix starts, the hype of this phenom has been around for 2 years now, and he has just torn through our system. His K/BB wasn't beautiful in his first few starts, but 8/1, I sure as hell ain't complaining. Porter, do you know how his slider is coming along?

[Porter]

His slider is beginning to look better than earlier this season. But is the CHANGE UP thats been devestating hitters this season.

[MarinersFan87]

He goes again tonight against Albuquerque.

Go Felix!

[MarinersFan87]

Tacoma starter Felix Hernandez was knocked out in the second inning, taking a hard grounder off the left ankle, and the Rainiers went on to lose to Albuquerque, 5-2. Hernandez has a contusion and is questionable for his next start.

Dammit.

[Witlon]

He needs this. No reason to rush him since the Mariners aren't going to win anyway this year.
