The Ms impressed me last night. After the back-to-back humiliations at the hands of the Rangers, the lost to the Cubs, but, strange to say, in a way that shows they have some of that most basic baseball stuff: heart. I was most impressed with Felix. He gave up a home run on his second pitch to start the game and just settled down and ground through six innings. He wasn't stellar... he gave up three more runs, but he was steady and solid, notching 8 strikeouts along the way. It would have been easy for him to fold, but he hung in there tough and waited for the offense to wake up.
And it took a little time for the bats to get going... Hamels is a tough pitcher... but they fought back, squeezed out a couple of runs to take the lead. Felix was actually sitting on a win when Brennan, really for the first time this year, blew it.
This was a mature rebound after some bad bad baseball.
