Nice dive, Schoppach

There is no way in hell that ball hit Schoppach.  It hit the end of the bat, and Schoppach hit the deck.

He ought to be tossed from the game for that stunt.  Instead, he’s awarded a base, and Torre pulls a dispirited Wang after one and a little more.

They should have cut Farnsworth last season.

And tonight’s performance is Exhibit A.

He’s entirely too inconsistent on a night-to-night basis to trust.   I cringe every time he comes in to relieve.   Because it seems (and this could just be selective memory afflicting me in my old age) that he blows more games than he doesn’t.

And the last thing you want in a relief pitcher is to give up four runs in the bottom of the eigth.

Joe, if you want to go all the way this season, CUT FARNSWORTH.
