Neftali Feliz, so far this season, has thrown 134 1/3 innings.
He has allowed 3 home runs.
3 home runs. In 134 innings. That's a rate of .20 HRs per 9 innings.
To put that in perspective, in the majors this year, among qualifying pitchers, Cliff Lee has the lowest HR/9 rate, at .37. Tim Lincecum and Mike Pelfrey are the only other pitchers to be below .5 HR/9.

3 HR in 150.2 IP. Ridiculous.

So...
6 home runs given up in 284.2 innings for the Rangers top two pitching prospects.
To put that in perspective, R.A. Dickey gave up 6 home runs in 3.1 innings of ONE start in 2006.
Amazing.

drool
and, for both Feliz and Holland, high k rates, decent walk rates, GB/FB ratios of about 1.20, good WHIPS and FIPS. Drool……….
O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!
Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen,
und freudenvollere.

pretty astonishing.
sounds like hitters are just happy to get any kind of wood on the ball.
