95% of the time he's safe. CF had about a 2 foot diameter target he had to hit and even still may not have been enough had 3B not come forward to receive it.

I don't hate the call, but I don't really like it either. We would have had no outs and a man in scoring position. I just don't see much a reason for being that aggressive there. 1 out, and I think it is more justifiable.

He’s in scoring position at 2nd base with no outs. There’s no reason. It’s a 1 run game. We could have moved two guys up with the bunt.

Did it take a great throw, yea, but this is division 1 baseball. Great throws can certainly happen

I hear what you're saying, but I'm saying it took an absolute monster throw and catch/tag to make the play.  I don't see it as being "dumb".

When Volantis and is on, his shit is nearly unhittable. 

He is going to be so good. When is he draft eligible? I'd like to see him in burnt orange for as long as possible.

Galvan hadn't hit 2nd base yet when the CF had the ball.  As long as the throw was reasonably on target they were going to have him - as evidenced by the 3B being able to come off the bag to get the throw and still being able to tag him out.

I know he has been the beneficiary of quite a few HBPs but Farmer is 4th on the team in OBP. I really don’t get the gripe over him

He gets on. He can't hit. Both those things can be true.

Looked safe to me.

ticky tack interference, wasn't much there.  

Frustrating that this guy walks the bottom 2 but we run into an out.

I gave Farmer the speed card, but nvm he's getting caught to many times.

 

At this point he's a negative

Not a single team in the country has 9 guys in their lineup you fear. Up until Belyeu and Rodriguez got hurt he was the worst player in your lineup. You are doing pretty damn good when Farmer is your worst hitter

He leads the team with 34 SO's.  So, he has that going for him.

Got a shot here now.

Would have been nice if Duplantier had gotten a steal ahead of the hit.

Duplantier has the speed, but he may not be able to read pitchers and get good jumps.

I agree and I'm not hating on Farmer. But it is a legit criticism that he often looks lost at the plate.
