What the fuck is Farrell doing, absolutely no reason to bring Price back. Baffling Can't think of any reasonable justification for letting Price start the 6th.

It's not as if Price was pitching well either. I get it when pitchers are lights out and are close to their pitch limit. In this game, I probably would have had someone up in the 3rd and taken him out before the 5th.

Top of 6, price at 104 pitches with 3 walks and Sox leading 3-2. I was thinking that has to be it for price and no need to bring him for few more pitches. Well what do you know what Farrell thinks.

Some day, books will be written about the reasoning processes of JF's brain. Until then, we can only be baffled.

In this game, I probably would have had someone up in the 3rd and taken him out before the 5th. Absolutely. I could understand if he were pitching well or if he had a low pitch count or there were several left-handed hitters coming up or if the bullpen was exhausted and he wanted to steal an inning... but none of that's true (perhaps a little bit of the bullpen rest). Plus he had sat for a fairly long time because the top of the 6th lasted a decent chunk of time. I just don't understand his logic at all.

sundried tidbit - twitter factoid - Astros 9-1 when hitting 3 or more HRs...let's make that 9-2!
Be a nice get, w/ the quick turnaround, tonight to tomorrow, this trip ending w an afternoon game, Wednesday, and this Thursday only off day < ASB, iirc

AND with 2 right handed power hitters coming up. I can only assume, it goes some thing like today I am gonna stretch Price to 110-115 pitches and as long as the game is still in hand, he is going for that irrespective of everything else. I am sure I second guessed Tito but probably not as much as Farrell.

Hope we can get some insurance. This has been an awesome Sunday night game so far.

I hope that the reason is along the lines that Price really wanted to come out for the 6th, and Farrell deferred to the veteran.
