How could one realistically expect more from Boston when they have one of the worst rotations in the league? Farrell can’t fix that.

It’s just easier for fans to fire the manager than come to the realization that the team just lacks talent. Same situation in Atl.

Why can’t it be both? The talent isn’t that good and Farrell sucks as manager. Team played better second half of last year after Farrell went down with cancer. Would the Sox be an elite team without Farrell running the ship? Nope. But they would still be in a better place without him.

Not for nothing but Farrell was once donned the ‘pitching whisperer’ in Beantown…..granted he’s been given some mediocre talent via free agency to work with but with the alleged young arms the sox have, one would think that the talents that led to his ultimate hiring as a manager would equate to an improved pitching staff….then again, you can’t get blood out of a stone

How can losing Hicks hurt the Yankees offensively? He has been absolutely atrocious with the bat.

He hasn’t been giving a chance for consistency. Girardi is jerking him in and out of lineups. He needs to play. Gardner needs to sit

Get a clue. Outside of Beltran, Gardner has been the teams best hitter so far. He had the tying and wining RBIs, yesterday, and he has an obp of over .425. Hicks has been invisible at the plate. Hicks and Ellsbury should also not be playing CF over Gardner. Clueless Joe strikes, again.

It’s a little early to be firing Farrell, unless you buy into the trope that the Red Sox are so deep and talented that they can never lose 9 out of 17 games. That’s just not the real world. As for the Yankees, they are clearly treading water this year and probably next, until more of their ill-advised contracts shear off.

Not sure how you define “early.” It’s early in 2016, for sure, but Farrell has is entering his sixth season as a big-league manager. Save for one anomalous season (2013) his record as manager has been underwhelming.

Mr Ferrell has not arrived here and to this point in 20 games, two last place teams get you a very short leash, plus remember the SP staff totally stunk last year til they got to the end of July when Farrell left the team with cancer issues and wow it was like a light turned on, the whole team started playing better. Things have been slowly creeping out of Boston that the players are not thrilled with the MGR ….and then there is the bust Chris Young. He got pulled for a pinch hitter yesterday…patience has worn thin with him. Interesting to see where this ends up. So when will the light turn on? With this staff who knows…time for Mr Price to start earning his money and be the leader on this staff he is supposed to be…..go Sox!!
