06/24: Farnsworth

Posted by: Jason

Is he a finesse pitcher trapped in a power pitcher's body?

Does he think he's Francisco Rodriguez?

On a night when he was throwing 97 to 100 consistently, he hangs off-speed pitches to the Marlins to the tune of 3 hits, 1 run??

Guidry should enforce a version of Gene Hackman's (in Hoosiers) rule on Farnsworth: You can not throw an off speed pitch until you've thrown 5 fastballs...

Yeah, I'd have to say it really bothers me how he uses the slider as his out pitch. That's just like using a Brillo pad to wash a glass and then cleaning a frying pan with an old used up cloth.

Except then people will say something like "He has to mix his pitches up or else they'll just look for his fastball."

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

Thing is when Farnsworth is on his fastball is tough to hit even if the batter knows it's coming. It's been too common where he will blow someone by with two fastballs and then hang a slider over the middle of the plate. Basically a wasted at-bat for a pitcher. With that kind of heat I'd be more concerned with changing locations then speeds and pitch selection.
