Kyle Farnsworth’s Wife Is On ‘Baseball Wives’…Sorta

Wednesday night was the debut episode of “Baseball Wives” a horrific train wreck of a show. It should be noted that not one of the regular members of the cast is actually married to a major league baseball player. That being said, the wife of Kyle Farnsworth did make an appearance in the first episode. It is not clear yet if she will have a recurring role. Here is a link...

The Kyle Farnsworth of Politics

In a stunning turn of events, Herman Cain will not be the next President of the United States.  In other news, snorting pixie sticks will not get you high.  The one thing that these two items have in common is that a lot of people should have seen it coming before trying it out. So now it's Gingrich.  Oh right, and Romney.  It's like the longest and most asinine game...

Kyle Farnsworth has found himself

Kyle Farnsworth has been a fireballing reliever for a long time, not an easy thing to do. Yet after 12 major league seasons, nobody thought of him as anyone near a dependable pitcher. Why are things different now in his 13th season? Farnsworth had some great years with the Cubs, but also some awful ones. (Bleacher Report) After a couple of poor seasons as a starter and long reliever...

Tampa Bay Rays closer Kyle Farnsworth, who gave up two homers in the ninth inning Saturday, was diagnosed with elbow tenderness after the game.

Farnsworth performing at high level for Rays

Kyle Farnsworth had been around the Major Leagues by the time the Rays signed him this offseason, and the scouting report included a reputation for not living up to his immense physical skills. Rays fans have to be asking themselves, "Is this the same Farnsworth?"

Farnsworth getting better with age

Kyle Farnsworth's record thus far is impressive -- entering Friday night's action, he had a 1-0 record with a 1.80 ERA and two saves in six appearances -- but it's how he's done it that might be most impressive.

Surprise! Shields And Farnsworth Were Top Arms In First Half

Yesterday we looked the Rays biggest first-half bats. Well, we can also use WPA to look at which pitchers came through when it mattered the most so far this season. In short, WPA gives the pitchers points for a good play and takes away points for bad plays. The amount of points depends on how much of an impact that play had on the Rays winning the game (for an intro to WPA, please...

World Famous Original Ray’s Closer Situation

Believe it or not, Farnsworth issues first career walkoff walk

And here's another surprising nugget about Tampa Bay Rays closer Kyle Farnsworth: He made it all the way to Tuesday night — a span that lasted 12 tidy innings! — without issuing a single walk of any kind in 2011. Unfortunately, the first walk he did allow was of the worst variety. It came with Tuesday's game tied and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, forcing...

With the Rays picking up the options on James Shields and Kyle Farnsworth, and declining the option on Kelly Shoppach, the Rays have made their first significant moves of the off-season.

Rodney deal the first of many moves for Rays

It's nice to see some off-season rumblings on the Tampa Bay Rays front these days, especially given the prolonged plunge of the Bucs and the ongoing rollercoaster ride of the Lightning.
