Joey Votto is obviously a fan.

In all honesty, Farmer seems like a fun guy to have on your team. Everyone loves him.

As a player, I don't see what this org. loves about him. He is rice in a burrito. Bulk/filling, not going to make it markedly worse, certainly isn't going to make it taste better, it's just there, doing its thing. His 74 OPS+ is in decline. Not sure how far it needs to drop before they reconsider. As long as the rest of this team hits it's not a big deal, but finding a couple of backup infielders that can hit would be ideal for a playoff run. Blandino and Farmer ain't it.

Rice in a burrito. Perfect example....

The way I see it.. Whether Farmer, Blandino, or Schrock starts.. It really doesn't matter.
Neither is going to hit well. Farmer is likely to have a job a few more years due to his positional flexiblity and ability to play catcher,
so I have no problem giving Farmer at bats when a starter must sit.
Yea, he's not great, but Blandino and Schrock aren't great either.. Good chance that Blandino and/or Schrock aren't on the roster next year.
(Maybe they hang around as AAA depth). Farmer? Like it or not, he probably has a roster spot as long as Bell is manager. He's kind of the Juan Castro of this generation.

Farmer seems rock solid defensively at every position he plays and is beloved by his teammates. Call me crazy but I think that has value.

With most teams going with 5 and some only 4 bench guys these days. Every single team has a Kyle Farmer type on the roster. He is here for his ability to fill in all over the diamond. At least he is hitting 8th today.

Grey skies at GABP for Sonny Gray.

Also, I love rice in a burrito. When it gets all mixed up with hot salsa, cheese, and sour cream. Yum.

If he keeps pitching like that he can dress like a starlet at the Oscars.

[HammerTime]

Looks sharp as ever.

Triston looks just a tad lanky I'd say.
