Well even when Will is going badly he makes you pay for leaving the ball up or on the inner half. That is why I want him to keep away from that s*** on the outer third or outer third going away. Foul that s*** off or take it but don't for God sake swing at it. I want Pedey going the opposite way and Vic and Nava and even Ortiz going the opposite way. I want Will crushing that stuff up or in. He just does too much damage with that stuff inside or up to worry about trying to make him into the kind of hitter that sprays the ball around.

 

How can he foul it off if he doesn't swing?

Yeah but he's actually been pitching very good after a brutal stretch to start the year. Farnsworth has flat-out sucked ass.

 

 

I'd sign Farnsworth for a series against the Yankees and have him fight their lineup and put the rest of them on the DL.

You know what I mean...I know you do. Foul it off with two strikes..gotta swing to protect the plate with two strikes.

I do think Naps is battling a bout of tired bat though. I think that is probably the area of concern for Naps besides his hips. He sure looks like he is swinging a tired bat. So I would bet that Farrell is going to have to find a way to get him a day maybe every 7-8 games or something cause he is swinging through pitches more often now. Seems to me that he always swings through some number of pitches. But I think it gets worse when he is swinging a tired bat.

 

Heck if true I would rather that than Naps being in a genuine slump. At least Farrell should be able to figure out how often he has got to get Naps a day as DH or full rest.
