Felipe was fantastic during the first three innings ... he was popping his fastball at 96 and 97. He throws a very HEAVY balll.
Then in the fourth the wheels fell of ... he stopped locating his pitches and started throwing the ball straight. He got tattooed .... w/ the Brewers scoring 5 runs .... hitting the cycle during the inning and Johnny Estrada capped it w/ a grand slam!!! Ouch ....
He's still young ... got called up for Double A ... he's got to locate his pitches better and change speeds against big league hitters.
Overall, it was so exciting .... Danah and I got to sit behind homeplate about 20 rows up .... WE HAD A BLAST!!!
Felipe said we'll be able to sit and grab a bite to eat in a couple of weeks when the season ends .... I'm looking forward to our meeting.
