A Good Thing - In the last 30 days, Kyle Farmer has hit .313/.390/.582. I have been summarily dismissive of the Farmdog from the very beginning. He looks and smells like every other soft-hitting defensively versatile white dude Reds fans have celebrated since The Shit King. As a man of great dignity and self-respect, I’m reflexively repulsed by such vulgars.
So of course the Reds made him the everyday shortstop. Not because he earned it in any way, for sure, but because he was quite literally the last available option. So he failed upward, too, which always rankles my geathers.
