We probably shouldn't expect much from a guy who has varied from mediocre to terrible for most of his career, with a few scattered stretches of good performance. It is only $2.5MM. If he doesn't hack it, cut him.

If our outfielders were better at robbing home runs we wouldn't be worried about it.

Literally nothing surprising about reliever variance

3 straight games McFarland has come in trailing by 1 or 2 and let the game get out of hand.

Oli needs to stop using him in close games.

So far, this is looking like a bad signing by Mo.
Am I reading a dmarx criticism of Mo?

Every pitcher has sucked tonight. But it's Oli's fault and not Mo.

WPA graph says you're not likely watching the game.

Why is it ridiculous to criticize a manager for making the same mistakes over and over?

Is that no longer allowed on this message board?

Friday's game wasn't close. If he had used Helsley; that would have been ridiculous.

And making a comment like Do your thing isn't criticizing; it's deliberately trying to get a rise out of other posters and it's being a dik.

It was 3-1 when McFarland came in. That’s not close?
