Felix gives up runs early on... And it always feels like it's because he doesn't have a good feel on how his pitches are going to break. Mind you, he roared out of the gate with Bard as his catcher, but...
Felix will improve, but right now it almost seems like he has the curse of too much talent... His arsenal is so good break/run/speed-wise that I wouldn't be surprised if HE didn't know what his pitches will do on any given day. 
Combine that with umpires that will give you this, but not that, on any given day and it results in what looks like wild schizophrenia.
A cursory look at our rotation is kinda interesting because the Nintendo pitchers (Felix, Bedard) seem to walk batters more early on in the game than the more command-oriented pitchers (Pineda, Fister, Vargas) based on pitchcounts...
