Edwin Encarnacion on a roll
If I'm getting ready to judge and compare two pitchers, the absolute last thing I'm going to be looking at is how many wins they have.
Look at last year...does anyone really think an average pitcher like Zimmerman or Colon or Tillman or De La Rosa had better years than guys like Harvey or Anibal or Felix or Sale or Darvish? You can't really assess other pitchers against other pitchers on a stat that is so team reliant. It's like using batting average to tell people player A is better than player B.

^Felix for his career.
Troy's home:road splits are crazy, but even so....552 is still ridiculous.

He does have a point though. I would love to see Felix on a contending team

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Braves players Gerald Laird and Chris Johnson visited the young boy who was hospitalized after being hit in the head by a line drive during the Braves’ game against Milwaukee Tuesday night at Turner Field.
Laird and Johnson presented the 8-year-old with a signed bat, shirts, hat, tomahawks and a glove.
The Brewers' Carlos Gomez, who hit the ball, also visited the youngster and signed a baseball for him. Gomez later tweeted that the boy "was in great spirits."
Braves pitcher Julio Teheran was pitching to Gomez in the seventh inning when the Milwaukee player hit a foul ball that was lined into the stands along the first base side, behind the Braves’ dugout. The ball hit the youth, who was tended to by stadium officials. Fans gave an ovation to the boy when he was picked up and carried out.
A team official later released a statement, saying, “The young fan was hit in the head by a ball but conscious and talkative while he was being treated on site before being transferred to the hospital. The team and all of Braves Country have him in our thoughts and prayers.”
Teheran and Gomez were aware of what had happened. Both players kneeled down and play stopped for a couple of minutes.
Teheran said after the game he knew the ball hit a fan and heard the sound of the ball hitting somebody. But he but added, “I didn’t know if it hit a kid or a big person. I knew it was going to hit somebody because it was fast and hard and nobody would have a chance to get (out of the way). … I hope he’s fine.”
and i just got tickets for tonights game

No one does. I heard on the radio yesterday that he takes close to 90 seconds in between pitches. That wasn't verified, but even if that number is off by 50% (which I cant imagine it is), that is WAAAY too freakin long.
