What is his real name? I don't think it's King Felix. Is his last name Garcia? I'm confused.

His fellow countryman no less.

He's a total beast, and unfortunately, a shutout is about the only chance he has at a win. Not much by way of run support and his record was rough when he won the Cy Young award a few years back.

Congrats

Can't wait until he puts on the pinstripes in ~2 years.

His post-game presser was refrshing to watch. He credited his catcher the entire time and was acting like a big kid (what baseball players should act like). His wife and child are out of the country as well...seemed pretty humble and just enjoys pitching.

I love that pitching has become king again. I just wonder what Pedro could have done without everyone being on PEDs.
