He will be very much missed especially if the Sox hold on and make it to the playoffs, but I’d rather see him healthy. Knuckleballers rely on wizardry to get the job done, and a knuckler that isn’t 100% is more or less a BP pitcher out there. Pom and Porcello are great shots for wins in a playoff series. The question marks are Price, Buch, and Erod. If Price can get over his playoff woes and Buch continues to be the Buch of old, we just need to worry about the offense holding up their end. All in all if it’s that much of a worry, shut him down for the season. Wrights been great this year and it’d be nice to see him like this again next year.

Your faith in Pomeranz is admirable

He’s done just fine for the Sox. His record doesn’t indicate that though because they have given him damn near zero support when he’s needed it. His first and third outings were his only two bad outings. The 8 other starts he’s had for the Sox have been 3 earned or less and he’s only gotten 2 wins from that. The thing that worries me about him is that he lives and dies by his curve ball so he has the chance of getting roughed up at any moment if someone ever figures him out. Beyond that, he’s showing staying power so I think he can hold his own.

Another Farrell blunder, along with his inability to use the bullpen, failing to move runners over, etc. The Red Sox would be wise to let Farrell go after the season.

You really have to question Farrell’s logic in that situation. If anyone should have ran, if at all, it should have been Pomeranz who has NL batting experience.

Anyways, I agree. This should be Farrell’s farewell. Farrell handles the media well, but that’s all I like him for. Otherwise he is a terrible in-game manager and I’m so done with that. Hoping for Torey Lovullo, the interim manager from last year, to take the helm once again.

If he can’t pitch for the rest of the season maybe they can still utilize him as a pinch runner.

John Farrell is a shining example of being promoted beyond one’s level of competence – the Peter Principle. The Sox win in spite of Farrell and his horrendous game management.

Farrell has a great future in broadcasting. No need to delay this, he’s an idiot in the dugout! A FranComa disciple.
