King Felix Hernandez has absolutely destroyed the New York
Yankees in his career with the Seattle Mariners and may be pitching some of his
best baseball of his career in 2015. This is not a great recipe for the Yankees
and will lead to another loss.

Yes I’m looking ahead a bit with one more game against
Oakland but what can you do?
I don't like going by historical numbers to determine future success or failure.
ReplyDeleteYou see it in college sports a lot, and it makes no sense to me. Unlike pro sports, where teams may be very similar to those in recent years, in college they can change drastically year by year. So saying Team A has beat up on Team B a lot over the years means little, as those two teams could be totally different at this point.
As for the case with King Felix, the Yankees are not at all like the Yankees in Felix's first few years in MLB. That's not to say the Yankees have a great chance of beating him this time, it's not because of past success, it's because Felix is still a great pitcher.
