Why is Luke Farrell warming up. Someone hurry go tell Joe he is bad and this is a 1 run game....as of now.

 

This is what he does. He keeps guys rested in July to the detriment of the team that day so that they are strong in Sept-Oct. since our starters only go 5-6 innings the pen has been used a lot

Is it just me or is Farrell's glove ridiculously small for his hand? Maybe it was just the one angle

That umpire is disappearing tonight.

Happ definitely invited him over for a “drink” tonight to discuss strike zones

Morrow hasn't thrown a 4 out save this year has he? Odd that Sloppy Joe wants to protect him but woud pitch him there if Bass doesn't get hat out

I thought he just did the other day

I think you're both getting caught by recency bias. I'd adjust my forecast for both of them south of where it started the year, but each has a track record of getting things figured out during the year and being damn fine pitchers. Quintana had a 4.49 ERA last year when we traded for him and he was money down the stretch. Hendricks had a 4.09 ERA in the first half last year and a 2.19 in the second half.

 

There's still more than enough time for them to get their horsefeathers together and pitch like we expect.

 

Neither are really trending like they did last year, and I prefer they don't hinge their chances on Fluke Skywalker, the animated corpse of Yu Darvish and the hope that these two will figure it out.

Last year at this time Hendricks was either on the DL or throwing 75 MPH fastballs and Q had like a 5 ERA. They are trending just fine.

 

Nooooope.
