If it was the Yankees I might wait longer before making that sort of call, but the Padres? I know Felix was rusty but he wasn't THAT rusty. I absolutely agree w/ you, Doc - Montero catches Felix next so we we can see some more off-balance whiffs or look to another cause.
They swung HARD at everything and mostly on time. He fooled no one and got his outs on stuff and location. Very weird. Last night I blamed Olivo, so he's my first option for replacement in the battery tandem.
Besides, that's a much easier thing to get immediate results on. It's possible Felix is tipping, or it took a month for the scouting reports to get around about Felix's velo and for guys not to fear the heat...
But of course Jered Weaver's been killing people for years with no more heat than Felix is throwing, and it's not like Felix lost his movement as you say.
Looked like Olivo (or the Olivo/Felix combo) at first glance, so let's make a quick move to investigate that please, Wedge.
TIA.
