Farrell gets dipshittier by the day.

Certainly seems like it

What a douche . . .

not sure where I stand on Farrell at this point, but yesterday was pretty lolworthy.

Nunez reaches and promptly gets thrown out. Good start

Fister is pitching on borrowed time. He was destined to get lit up.

I was hoping so would Bauer (so I didn't start him) but based on how this game is starting I'm wrong...

Fister never should have been on this team to begin with... Hell make Barnes a starter.... Maybe he can do something

 

[redseat]

Damn Devers with a "what was that swing" and it goes out! WOW!

 

[redseat]

Xander was out by a mile at 2nd, how was he safe?

 

[redseat]

Replay and he DID get in there, wow!

Should have been out twice and was safe both times, wow

Come on Holt!

 

[richig07]

Jesus.

Devers is a beast.

Jesus.

Devers is a beast.

Love this kid! Really hope he can keep this up..

I do wonder however if pitchers/league will figure him out... Hope not

 

[richig07]

Holy cow...

Stanton already hits his homer for the day, in his first AB. Two run shot.

This is unfathomable. lol

 

[redseat]

probably should take Fister out now Farrell

 

[redseat]

@navamind thoughts on Farrell allowing Barnes to continue to pitch, even when he sucks and loses a game, yet "pulls" Reed after 1 pitch... i just don't get him

 

[redseat]

and there you go.. Fister never should have come out for the 5th! NEVER!

 

[osubuckeye89]

Drone Boy back to his meatball antics, luckily theyve all been solo shots.

 

[osubuckeye89]

That ball was CRUSHED.

 

[redseat]

Farrell should have had someone WARMING to start the 5th period....

Now he will just pace around the dug-out saying, "ho hum"

Every young hitter who starts hot will eventually hit a valley when pitchers adjust to them. The good hitters adjust back. He's clearly very talented.

I feel like he could stand to get in a little better shape. Kind of a pudgy/average build for an elite big league prospect. But eh... it's not like that's stopped others from having great careers.
