Detroit Tigers pitching has shown flashes of not being great, but Buck Farmer took that to a new level today.
He gave up seven runs in just 2.1 innings. It came off the strength of three home runs. Including one grand slam by Steven Souza Jr.
After his last start I wrote about what I thought of Farmer’s future. It was not too good because of the over use of his fastball.
I still believe that his reliance on the heater will cost him a decent career. But today, against the Tampa Bay Rays, he showed a different problem entirely.
