badly came feeling good indication miss shut threw typical
It's not very typical of him to miss as badly as he missed. That was an indication that he was feeling it tonight. But he shut them down pretty good and came back and threw well.
balls breaking command good hanging night threw
He didn't have command of anything. He got away with some hanging breaking balls early, but he didn't get away with the one he threw to Barajas. It wasn't a good night for Felix.

He didn't have command of anything, ... He got away with some hanging breaking balls early, but he didn't get away with the one he threw to Barajas. It wasn't a good night for Felix.
couple early good missing threw
He was rushing, he was missing his spots. He threw a couple of good pitches, then he'd get away from it. It's still early in the season.
couple frustrated hopefully innings last settled threw
I think he got a little frustrated and got out of his rhythm, but he settled back in and the last couple innings he threw well. Hopefully this will get him going.
warming
I probably would not use him for more than one inning. And if I got him warming up in the bullpen, I'd want to get him in the game.
betting double run steal throwing tonight tried
You don't try a double steal very often, but we tried it tonight and it worked. When you run a double steal, you're betting on them throwing through. When they don't, it makes you look awfully foolish.
breaths shallow
Real shallow breaths in the ninth. But at least I was still breathing.
season shut soon
I'd just as soon shut him down after the season is over. He's pitched enough.
bragging common deep flowery love tells trying
I'm really trying not to go off the deep end bragging about this guy. I'd love to tell you the flowery things I'm thinking, but common sense tells me I shouldn't go down that road.
everyday hitter jeremy leading
He'll get some but it's not going to be an everyday thing. I don't necessarily think that Jeremy is a leadoff hitter or we want him leading off.
dugout floor found last
I couldn't look at that last pitch. I found something on the dugout floor to look at.
couple days wait
He's fine. We'll wait a couple of days on him.
chunk took
It took a chunk out of the back of his finger.
