I can't remember FG getting much love at mlb.com, and to see Dave used as an expert instead of generic ESPN ex-player brings joy to my heart.

Franklin Gutierrez, showing some nice power by hitting a HR 444'.

The immortal Joel Pineiro is running with a 3.01 FIP, 3.23 tRA and a major league leading 61.4% GB rate over 203 IP, good for 5.3 WAR.

Oh crap.

17.2 IP, 5 H, 22 K/BB!!, 1 ER [HR].

The only good news is his 100% LOB%, .126 BABIP. And his velocity is slightly down to an average fastball of 96.8 mph.

Please never, ever make him a starter, Texas.

Good lord. Seriously, we are boned. Just wait until the Rangers have him and Holland as their one-two.

He looks so awesome. Watch the highlights of his performance last night on the Rangers website ... unbelievable tailing action on his fastball, a Felix-like power changeup and a breakingball of doom that makes me want to kill my own mother so she does not have to suffer the pain of being subject to the new world dominion that Kaiser Feliz's arrival heralds.

The Rangers will meet Felix six times this year. Soon, they will have their revenge.

Can you imagine Yuni against this guy?

He questions why we have Langerhans in the lineup when Saunders has been tearing up [well, hitting well at] AAA.

What level of defence and plate discipline could we expect from Saunders if he was called up this year? Personally I have been impressed with Langerhans approach so far, and his defence has been as advertised. I don't think rushing Saunders through is the best idea at this stage, regardless of Langerhans line so far.

This is the first perfect game I have ever thrown, a 63 pitch one against the A's with my 09 The Show player. My LHP dominated their stupidly LHB lineup [seriously they had 7 LHB] with his 99 mph cutter and running fastball, mixing in a few curves and splitters and using the circle change as the strikeout pitch.

Seriously I was so happy to do this, I must have pitched 2000 games since I first bought MVP 2005. I once threw a no-hitter with Joel Pinero in MVP [?!?!?!?] but I have never had perfection, until now.

Bwhahah!
