Toronto Blue Jays: Typical Farrell Ball



Wow, crazy ending to a fairly entertaing game this afternoon.. Today was the fifth game of the homestand that I've attended and yet again it was another game thrown away by the incompetence of the players and managers to execute in crucial situations.. Just an embarrasing display of baseball shown thus far on the homestand.

Farrell's managing continues to dumbfound me. If you're going to have Villanueva intentionally walk Chase Utley in the 5th inning to face Ryan Howard (which was actually a WTF moment), you should certainly be intentionally walking Utley to face Howard with a lefty on the mound.

Chase Utley has a career .888 OPS vs. lefties (.894 vs RHP). Howard, on the other hand, has a career .759 OPS vs. lefties (1.027 vs. RHP).

If you're a manager, you at least have to be consistent in your logic. Farrell isn't...and this has become a trend.

I'll deem tomorrow a success if the Jays are even able to score a run off Cliff Lee who is going for his 4th straight complete game shutout... Unfortuantley, were stuck watching the shitty Jo Jo toe the rubber for the 17th time this season.. Fucking unbelievable..
