I would actually PH with Molina. Take a shot, see what happens.


Well that would be even stupider, ill give him a 3 for his terrible lineups, Molina 6th???? It would be a 4 if he would stop putting Dotel in against lefties.

Yes. Rivera is a much better hitter than him and would have given the team a much better chance at coming back.

Pinch Hitting Rivera would have been a decent idea, pinch hitting Molina is like giving up.

I gave him an 8, I thought walking ichiro was fine rodrigez was just a champ and fouled off so many good pitches with two strikes. We are second in the AL in stolen bases so I don't see the problem with running except for the morons sliding head first. The bunt was beautiful just accept it and stop hating. Also, the lineups are bad but on the other hand some guys are **** the bed right now. If you want to blame someone it should be AA for keeping morrow from us just so he could get a longer look at these **** ballers. How much longer do I have to look at JoJo face GTFO.

Poor managing of the poor resources is no excuse for poor managing.

Gave him a 5. There are positives and negatives so far.

I like his in game philosophy. His aggressiveness on the basepaths, which'll lead to some mistakes but it gives the team another dimension.

Some of his in game moves have been questionable though. But I suppose he's just getting familiarized with his team.

Also he doesn't have much to work with yet. I think when all the guys are healthy and Lawrie/Thames finally get a call up, we'll see how everything works.

Gave him a 4. Mostly because of his terrible use of JPA.

After yesterdays game (Morrow's first start), my approval/respect is lower.

This is because of Farrell no action on two plays; Escobar's tag and Sniders bunt.

Both plays were close, but Farrell didn't come out to argue the play for his boys.

Has Farrell come out to argue a close play?

Gets a solid 4! I hate the constant changes to everything. He prob needs time to settle down him self. It seems like he is trying too hard to impose his style and his attitude on the team. Once he is confident that the team fully respects him he should be fine.

unfortunately, farrell would probably use the same excuses as jay triano in not having a healthy team. but the moves with the remaining players have been questionable.
