Happy to see Felix to finish out this season. Soak it in, this is it.

He had a great run here, should have much more impressive numbers if his team hadn't let him down so often.
For once i could not agree more....And it happened again tonight. I wonder if Felix is the all time leader in being dumped on by his team

Those are position players... They might have missed out on World Series glory, but Felix missed out on getting 300 wins (and World Series Glory)

Can Felix still get 3,000 strikeouts? Can he stay in the league as a 4th/5th starter? He needs to bleed it out like Ichiro did. Felix is iffy for HOF, but if he gets the 3,000 Ks he'll go in for sure. I don't see why the Ms don't just sign him for a 2 year deal with incentives. It's only money, and I would hate to see him "find it" with another team. Let's see how the rest of the season goes. I didn't watch the game, but I see he let up 2 homers and almost a 3rd. Put a few guys on base and you're right back to the 6.00 ERA. I will root for him, though. I love King Felix.

3,000 strikeouts is not going to get you into the HOF, nor should it, not the way the game is now. And there was no way Felix was ever even going to approach 300 wins. Clayton Kershaw probably isn't going to get 300 wins, which again is because of the way the game is now. Felix has a career bWAR of 50.7 and he has virtually no shot at the HOF.

points out there in the end of the article, you have the Yankees playing the Dodgers and you put those stupid uniforms on them

I am actually surprised that a conspiracy theory wasn't hatched that Trump pressured Manfred to go with a Black vs. White theme to promote racial division in the country.

These unis were such a bad idea. If they were going to try anything they should have tried a variance of the Thursday Night Football approach, like have the Dodgers wearing all blue and the Yankees black with white pinstripes. Or in our series, the Blue Jays wearing blue shirts and red pants while the Mariners wear teal shirts with navy pants. Or the other way around.
