If you told me that with Lester, Sale, Severino, and Quintana starting on a given day that Scott Feldman was going to be the one to earn a CGSHO, I would have had a good chuckle. A hearty, healthy chuckle that indicated we should be friends. But there it is, 9.0 IP, 0 ER, 4 Hits, 1 BBs, 5 Ks against the Giants. Feldman Schmeldman. Alright, you deserve more than that today after 27 outs of zero ER. He's a TEEs in my mind as his 3.54 BB/9 is horrendous, xFIP of 4.23 sounds about right, and his 7.08 K/9 rate doesn't give you enough upside to chase. Heck, his IPS is still under 6.0 even with this complete game. The reason for his "success" thus far has been an improved Curveball, but man do his other pitches fall way behind. I wouldn't be shocked if his deuce doesn't keep pulling the weight and everything falls down in a hurry.
