You should add Felix to the sidebar.

Long live the King.
I was at Busch stadium watching the Cardinals-Tigers game tonight, so I missed Felix pitching, but I love the offspeed stuff I’m seeing on Gameday after the first inning. He should be an All-Star for sure.

Where are you seeing how many offspeed pitches he threw?
DAMellen - June 17, 2009
Fourth and fifth inning, most notably. But I didn't look all that closely.

I'm not sure if this was DA's question, but I'm curious:
What is your source of information regarding the types of pitches thrown by one Felix Hernandez at last night’s M’s-Padres game?

PitchFX on gameday

I'd go with Brooks baseball's pitchfx tool
Here you go

Thank you. Fantastic.

Don't take its pitch classification as gospel, though
with certain pitchers it can mis-identify quite a few.

You know, I was thinking about that as I looked at marc's link.
I could see four distinct groupings in several of the plots, which seemed to contain approximately the same number of points in each graph. At no point did I see 5, though the tables list 5 different pitch types. Does 5 seem right for Felix last night?

Two/four seam fastball

Actually, looking at it again I think it's the sinker and change I'm having trouble separating.
Lanky - June 17, 2009
Yes, that's because they're probably the same pitch.
Look at the horiz/vert movement and velo.

Since no one can figure out which is which I say we call it the chinker.
