Let's take a moment and talk about universally pre-season praised Felix Hernandez and how owners are in denial that the King is the main reason their pitching is in the dumpster.  Yesterday against the Red Sox, he had one of the worst SP outings we've seen all year with  2.1 IP, 10 ER, 12 Hits, 1 BB, 2 Ks.  There is a reason we call this getting "Felix'd" as it's the fourth time all season he's allowed at least 7 ER.  Currently, Felix is still hanging on in the Top 10, but it's time for a major change.  I'm not sure exactly where yet, but think near the back end of the Top 20, maybe a little farther.  I don't blame you for benching him in his next start, and while we have to believe he gets back on the right track, you have to be patient as we regain our trust.
