One of my favorite things out of John Farrell's mouth this spring: he's instructing pitchers to pick up the g-d pace.

Posted by TFox Mar 18 '13, 10:56

�We�ve tried to get back to a basic formula. Attack the zone, throw more strikes. Work quick. Dictate the tone or tempo of the game. Guys are realizing if they�re in control it takes away the downtime where other thoughts might creep in. The defense likes it and umpires have made some candid comments,� Farrell said.

(Thank. You.)

Watching Yankee/Red Sox games if you're a non-fan could double as Gitmo punishment - Will Hunting Mar 18, 10:58 5
- I think this is ultra-important for Lester, who started getting a rep as a massive c-nt. - TFox Mar 18, 11:01 4
  - I truly wish the umps would enforce the delay rules....if you're not in the box, it's a strike. if you're not ready to throw, it's a ball. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 11:23 3
    - While I agree, I totally understand the umps hesitance. Can you imagine the sh*tstorm that will ensure after - musubi Mar 18, 11:28 2
      - Start it in the minors....by the time they get to the big leagues, they'll know the rules. - Will Hunting Mar 18, 11:29 1
        
        apparently it's far too little time for the NFL. it's outrageous how long they give them to get a play going. -- nm - zork Mar 18, 11:32
