The Sizemore Show: Indians 4, Tigers 3 (Bless You Boys)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 03:01:46 GMT

We had a little bit of Home Run Derby at the ballpark tonight, with the Indians smacking one more long ball than the Tigers, and doing it when it counted most in the 10th inning. I realize Jim Leyland had to go into "extra innings" mode with his bullpen after using Kyle Farnsworth and Fernando Rodney for two scoreless innings, but it didn't inspire much confidence to see Casey Fossum...

Catching Up: Pudge for Blockhead Kyle (The Weblog That Derek Built)

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:28:00 GMT

Yanks get Ivan Rodriguez (C), give Kyle Farnsworth (RHP) to the Tigers. This trade was basically obligatory once Jorge Posada elected to have shoulder surgery, and Jose Molina (.581 OPS when the trade was made) made it abundantly clear that his bat wasn't ready for prime time. Cashman was basically waiting for two years for Farnsworth to have an effective six-week stretch so that...

From the LoHud Yankees Blog : "The Yankees are 3-7 in the games Pudge Rodriguez has started since he came over from the Tigers. He is 8 for 35 (.229) with one RBI. Andy Pettitte threw to him once then asked not to again. The Tigers are 3-4 in the games Kyle Farnsworth has pitched in. Over 7.3 innings, he has allowed 13 hits (three HRs) and six earned runs. Obviously it’s a trade that...

From Tom Gage 's Detroit News blog: "Wondering? How Kyle Farnsworth occasionally gets hit hard with good velcoity and seemingly good stuff? This could be the reason why. 'He needs to throw with the same velocity inside that he does outside,' said Jim Leyland . 'He throws 96-97 miles an hour away, and 92 in. His stuff shouldn't get whacked like that.'"

Without Farnsworth, bullpen gives away another game (http://riveraveblues.com/feed)

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 03:59:06 GMT

Since joining the Detroit Tigers on August 1, Kyle Farnsworth has been a bit less than impressive. He’s thrown 4.2 innings, allowing seven hits and four earned runs. By all accounts, his Detroit performance has been something of a market correction after a stellar four months in the Bronx. But, right now, the Yanks actually [...]

CHICAGO -- The Tigers have three pitchers who could close, but they do not have a full-time closer. Manager Jim Leyland said Tuesday that right-handers Fernando Rodney, Joel Zumaya and Kyle Farnsworth are candidates to pitch the ninth inning in save situations.

It's simple, really... Kyle Farnsworth as a New York Yankee. Kyle Farnsworth as a Detroit Tiger The Tigers' bullpen as a whole... Like I said, simple. Damn, the Tigers' bullpen, Bobby Seay excepted, is God awful.

Ah, the closer by committee (The Detroit Tiger Weblog)

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 23:37:56 GMT

The Tigers are going the route of closer by committee. Sort of. In the sense that Kyle Farnsworth, Fernando Rodney, and Joel Zumaya will all get opportunities there is definitely a committee of people who will be closing games. But it seems as if it will be pre-determined heading into the game [...]

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:40:00 GMT

At one point in time in my life I think I could have been nominated for president of the Kyle Farnsworth Haters club. I didn't want the Yankees to sign him, thinking he would never come up big in a clutch spot and I got ticked off every single time (and it was often) that he gave up a big home run or struggled. For the first two years I was amongst the leaders of the anti-Farnsworth...

Because they never, ever close. (Puns! Love ‘em.) When Todd Jones closed out games, Tigers fans would get ulcers, cramps, and chest pains. When Fernando Rodney closes out games, the other team experiences said chest pains. On Sunday, after Kyle Farnsworth, savior to the bullpen, gave up two home runs to extend the game, “closer” Fernando [...]
