Farrell is nowhere near the class of Billy Martin was in the early 80s in regards to the disregard of pitch counts. Now it becomes more apparent why teams have improved bull-pens as many batters work to stretch counts during each plate appearance.

The repeated fouling off of pitches can create some drama in a really intense matchup (in late innings of a playoff game for example), but otherwise is IMO a significant part of why games go on too long.

Not to mention the dilution of the game-used ball market.
