Man, that Farrell piece was truly abysmal.
Hey, Nick, we don't need a round-up of what radio call-in shows and Twitter users think of John Farrell. We can, like, listen and read those things ourselves. All of us have the Internet too.
You, however, are traveling with the team. Maybe you could describe the mood in the locker room with a couple of anecdotes? Perhaps a sketch of batting practice with Chili Davis and how guys seem to be responding to him.
The coaches, we're told, are "excellent." What evidence do we have of that, exactly? What's an excellent thing one of them has done on this trip? You say Farrell is managing the same way he always has. What way is that? Is it maybe a bad fit for the current group of players? What might they respond to if not Farrell's current style? Have they tuned him out?
Etc.
Just so lazy on so many levels.
