“[Mariners 2, Athletics 0: Felix Hernandez allowed four hits and a walk in seven shutout innings for visiting Seattle, which left the A's 1 1/2 games behind in the wild-card race. Hernandez, 19, outdueled Joe Blanton and didn't complain when he was pulled.] Felix, if he had a mouth full of nickels, he wouldn't give you change for a quarter, ... He doesn't speak much.”
Mike Hargrove
“Felix, the first couple of innings, was struggling with his mechanics. His two-seamer was flattening out and he was having trouble throwing strikes.

“Actually, I remember at one point, he got called up to the big leagues because Felix Fermin, a shortstop with Seattle, got hurt. Alex went up there. When Felix Fermin got better, they wanted to send Alex back down. That was the first time ever I saw Alex say he was going to quit. He wasn't going to play baseball anymore. The whole organization was going crazy. They didn't want a guy like that having that kind of feelings. What they did, they kept the guy up there. He's one of the best players to ever play the game.”
David Ortiz

“There are some specific things we wanted to talk to Felix about. They're more mental things than anything else.”
“(Felix) doesn't do that. It's hard when you keep missing, but you have to keep shooting. He thinks he can hit the next shot. He always thinks that. That's what a good shooter does.”
Alonzo Gee
