Buxtons “double” had an xBA of .140. Just shows how lost he is. He reacted like he hit it 110mph and 450 ft. What a fool 😂

Vazquez, designated sac bunter. There, I found something for him! 

[Jocko87]

I might have Castro try to steal before the bunt attempt? That's the real small ball.

Don't get me wrong, glad Buck tied it up,  but...has he put a ball in the outfield anywhere except between the left fielder and the left field line all year?

At least I can go back and edit my post.  A bit harder in this case...

What ever Wallner had , Farmer has.

With luck for artist and subject, getting melted down as we speak!

The reaction also could have been routine fly out, maybe.  Hitter knows best.

Farmer has gotta be hurt, no?

[mrtwinsfan]

Farmer  W.T.F. was ??????

Farmer is one of your boys, isn't he?

[Parfigliano]

Just switched to Mets @ LA.  Much nicer weather.

[OvertheHill]

I’ll admit I was OK with the Farmer signing last year, then he got beaned and it was hard to tell if he was going to contributing much. I think I have my answer now.

Maybe, he's a slow starter every year. Maybe just not as bad as the other guys.

It was in Celeron, New York. 

Was... the locals complained about it until it was finally replaced by a much better representation.

Here's his hits spray chart, which seems to support what you say.  I'm not sure where to find one for outs.  (Probably a massive pile of dots on F2.)    

Edit to add - I see someone else posted the full spray chart.  It tells a different story.

Pitcher's got a big butt!!!!!!!!

[OvertheHill]

Is that Todd Jones on the mound?

I can't tell who that is either.

None are one of my boys, I just do not treat the young ones like they are my son , as so many here do.

[USAFChief]

JFHC, Rocco. Farmer gets to hit against a RHer. But Julian is out

 

I'm so done with this manager.

 

[David HK]

My memory may be faulty (OK, IS faulty), but did we have a choice to make between Farmer and Donnie Barrels?

Because if so, we messed up big time.

Sir Mix-A-Lot, is that you?

[Riverbrian]

Who could have predicted that Chafin would enter in this spot with Julien, Kirilloff and Larnach hitting 1,2 and 4 in the lineup? 

 

[Vanimal46]

My word, this Detroit reliever looks like he's smoked a few Marlboro reds and shotgunned a few Miller Lites in his day.

[OvertheHill]

Damn, they wasted that brilliant sac bunt.

Billy Martin?

Why oh why,  did they not let Julien bat against a lefty, OH the humanity.😅
