I doubt many guys other than Cabrera could get in Felix's head...from the same country and he's the best hitter in the league AND a world class smack talker. Are there any other baseball players who do that sort of yapping while standing at the plate? It seems really unusual, but he surely backs it up.
The ump clearly did reconsider what was going into his report, because the inning after Lloyd got tossed, he started calling that strike at the knees for the rest of the game.
Hey if Felix didn't take that ball off the hip he might have stuck in there and kept the streak alive. Still only gave up 2 runs in 5 innings, that's a pretty good day for Erasmo Ramirez or Taijuan Walker :)
