everybody uses something  
WeatherMan : 4/23/2014 7:54 pm : link
you just have to not be so freakin obvious about it. I'm surprised he's thrown out, just wipe it off and go about your business knowing not to do it again that game. Lesson learned.
Meh  
Dunedin81 : 4/23/2014 7:54 pm : link
What can Farrell do when it is so ----ing blatant?
Lester  
MookGiants : 4/23/2014 7:54 pm : link
in a world series game, Farrell has a lot of balls. Every single time Lester or Buchholz pitches I'm having them checked. All bets are off now.

Definitely have to throw at Sloppy his next time up.

don't think pineda is too smart  
sinctybldh : 4/23/2014 7:56 pm : link
this was discussed ad nauseum last game he faced the sox so why would u go and do the same crap as last time knowing full well what the consequences could be?
What was Farrell supposed to do?  
Buck Dharma : 4/23/2014 7:56 pm : link
Just ignore it again? It was so obvious...
What a fucking crock of shit  
Kulish29 : 4/23/2014 7:56 pm : link
Fucking Lester and the RAM Burgler do it all the fuck time. Fuck the Red Sox and their hypocritical fucking fans and franchise. Such fuckig bullshit.
Farrell's just all pissy  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/23/2014 7:56 pm : link
because he's 1-4 against the Yanks this season. And it's a way to get a pitcher thrown out who pretty much dominated his team a couple weeks ago. Butt-sore.
when your pitchers  
MookGiants : 4/23/2014 7:56 pm : link
blatantly use it and have in the past yes he should ignore it. Especially when your pitcher blatantly did it in a fucking world series game too
as Mook said - all bets are off  
RasputinPrime : 4/23/2014 7:56 pm : link
I'd be choked if I was a Sox pitcher.
Farrell has some kinda balls  
B in ALB : 4/23/2014 7:57 pm : link
when his own fucking pitchers do the same shit. They're just better at hiding it. Great. You're better than the Yankees at cheating. Wonderful.

Drill Shrek right in his fucking neck.
he's not the first  
WeatherMan : 4/23/2014 7:57 pm : link
Kenny Rogers was even more blatant in a WS game.
he clearly put it on  
RasputinPrime : 4/23/2014 7:57 pm : link
between innings.
farrell's team is playing like shit  
sinctybldh : 4/23/2014 7:58 pm : link
so this was something he needed to do.
Phelps with a 1 pitch K  
WeatherMan : 4/23/2014 7:58 pm : link
don't see that often.
Hit him low  
Phil in LA : 4/23/2014 7:59 pm : link
not high.
I hope they beat the fuck out of this piece of shit team of  
Kulish29 : 4/23/2014 7:59 pm : link
transients.
hopefully this will make the yankee hitters mad  
sinctybldh : 4/23/2014 7:59 pm : link
and they can go out and terrorize lackey.
now the question becomes  
RasputinPrime : 4/23/2014 8:00 pm : link
why Pineda with oven mits for hands can't grip the ball without some tar.

You know, for all the crap hitters have taken for using ______, some leaguewide turnabout is fair play might be in order.
I would make  
MookGiants : 4/23/2014 8:00 pm : link
the umpire check the pitcher every single inning for the rest of the series if I'm Girardi. The only reason Farrell didn't check last game was because he knew his pitcher was doing the same thing that night, as Buchholz always does.

It's something that guys do most of the time and the managers know it. This is not going to end well for Farrell, blatant or not shouldn't matter. He knows his guys are doing it, if he doesn't he's a clueless fuck
agreed Mook  
RasputinPrime : 4/23/2014 8:02 pm : link
every

fucking

inning.
Lackey just licked his hands  
RasputinPrime : 4/23/2014 8:03 pm : link
and applied it to the ball.

Check his gum.
Can we have an ump call LabCorp  
Kulish29 : 4/23/2014 8:04 pm : link
to check Ortiz for the roids he so obviously uses?
I'm pretty sure...  
Dunedin81 : 4/23/2014 8:04 pm : link
Farrell told Lackey to double and triple check his shit before or at least after he left the dugout.
Typical whiny-ass Red Sox  
Model4001 : 4/23/2014 8:06 pm : link
Fucking hypocrites
Pineda clearly pushed Farrell's buttons by using tar again  
RasputinPrime : 4/23/2014 8:06 pm : link
but honestly, pitchers use "foreign substances" almost every pitch.

I can't believe the gorilla balls on their manager.
I hope Ortiz  
napoleon : 4/23/2014 8:07 pm : link
Gets found with child porn. I fucking hate him.
why can't they hit a 92 mph  
sinctybldh : 4/23/2014 8:08 pm : link
fastball? i don't get this.
Glad Jeter got in the way there.  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/23/2014 8:08 pm : link
Hope he did that on purpose.
Not sure what the Yanks are swinging at  
NYerInMA : 4/23/2014 8:08 pm : link
Lackey doesn't appear to have anything special tonight, just throwing the same pitch over and over. Stupid move by Pineda, by the way.
They can't hit  
Phil in LA : 4/23/2014 8:09 pm : link
92 mph fastballs. Thats what Leiter used to call "hitting speed."
Farrell was in a bad spot...  
Dunedin81 : 4/23/2014 8:09 pm : link
you can't ignore something that blatant. It's a nationally televised game. He's not stupid, he knows that will be repaid in spades when Lester and Buchholz are on the mound.
holy crap michael wacha has  
sinctybldh : 4/23/2014 8:09 pm : link
9k's in 3 innings pitched so far.

That would more likely be "Pedey's" brother.
you would think  
MookGiants : 4/23/2014 8:09 pm : link
Farrell would know better than to have guys checked when he has Lester and Buchholz as 40% of his rotation. This is not going to end well for the Red Sox, these guys aren't going to get away with the stuff they have for years now. It's kind of an unwritten rule not to check guys. It doesn't matter if its blatant, they know when guys are doing it and can have them checked whenever, but most managers never even consider it because they knew their guys are doing it too.

is beyond bad. Jesus christ

Come the Fuck on.
Exactly  
BigBlueShock : 4/23/2014 8:13 pm : link
Farrell was absolutely in a tough spot. Particularly since he was harassed by his ignorant fanbase/media all week following the last pine far episode as to why he did nothing about it. We all know why he did nothing, but their fans and Boston media can't seem to grasp that their lovable grinders would ever do something similar. Even with evidence to the contrary

No player who wears that uniform has ever done anything wrong or cheated. Just ask SOSH.
according the Pitch FX  
Phil in LA : 4/23/2014 8:16 pm : link
ball 2 to Ortiz was strike three.
what the fuck is the difference  
MookGiants : 4/23/2014 8:17 pm : link
if you're discreet about it? Cheating is cheating. Farrell's explanation is fucking bullshit, was Lester discreet about it in the world series last year?

Farrell is going to regret this. I bet Lester and Buchholz are not very happy with him, because he crossed a line that you shouldn't cross and now his guys are going to be checked, and its not just going to be the Yankees checking them
this ump is known for having a tight zone  
WeatherMan : 4/23/2014 8:18 pm : link
he painted the corner there, I agree.
Are the Yankees even gonna check  
Phil in LA : 4/23/2014 8:19 pm : link
them? They have a history of not. They let Kenny Rogers beat them in the playoffs cause they wouldn't have his hat checked. Kenny Rogers.
Phil  
MookGiants : 4/23/2014 8:20 pm : link
if the Tigers had their guys checked you can bet your ass they would have had Rodgers checked.

Farrell crossed the line, now all bets are off.
Gardner playing some great D today  
ronzo : 4/23/2014 8:21 pm : link
Along with Jeter
and pretty  
MookGiants : 4/23/2014 8:21 pm : link
much every team has a history of not checking guys. Everyone knows its used often, but Farrell for some unknown reason decided he needed to have Pineda checked.

Fucking clown ballpark with the stands basically right on top of the foul line
Gardner  
MookGiants : 4/23/2014 8:23 pm : link
pulled up because he didnt want to go flying into the stands. I don't blame him, if this ballpark wasn't such a joke he wouldn't have to worry about that.

Gardner is a great outfielder and also playing right field which he rarely ever does. Jeter is pretty pathetic routinely at short
loaded for Xander
