This morning, while clickin' around FanGraphs looking for something to write about, the following tweet showed up in my timeline on Twitter:

I'd been aware of the fact that Felix Hernandez has been a strikeout monster throughout his career (duh) and that he has been steadily climbing the strikeout leaderboard this season. However, this tweet really reinforced the fact that King Felix has been absolutely bananas.
