So it's been awhile since I've started a main board thread. I have really enjoyed Farrell's style to date but it was listening to him during his pre-game interview with O'Brien which drove me to start the thread.
I was taken by his responses when asked about Hanrahan and Lester. Specifically he mentioned how Hanrahan has had a bit of "hamstring" thing and he didn't like what he saw after the two walks. Wasn't pitching downhill and all that stuff. He then followed it up with how hopefully the players understand why moves are made as well as the overall program.
He then went on to talk very technically about Lester and his adjustments, etc.
To say the guy inspires confidence is an understatement.
So anyway ... I haven't seen a season thread about the manager since the season started and given the move last night and the early results from Lester and the Buck I thought it made sense.
