Portland Sea Dogs vs. Trenton Thunder

 

Jon Lester who will undoubtedly be part of a bang bang duo with Papelbon, a la Pedro/Schill, is getting the start tonight against the Trenton Thunder, the AA Yankees who counter with their top pitching prospect, . Jon Lester has been doming the AA leagues, in 23 games has a 9-5 record with a 2.63 ERA, one being a shutout, three of the games being complete games!! In 132.1 innings pitched has struck out 147, walked 53 and holding batters to just .220 average. All in all: Go Lestahhh!!

Sweet, thanks for the game thread riverside. BTW, I believe Anibal is on the hill tomorrow. See the future today!

well Jon Lester is off his game so far, 1st inning 1 out, 22 pitches with back to back walks, followed by a 3 run shot to left field, ugh

[riverside sluggers]

got the 2nd out by the way of the K

[ORS]

I'm listening online. Sounds like he's struggling with his command.

[riverside sluggers]

1st inning: 27 pitches, 1 K, 2 walks, 1 Hit (being the 3-run shot)

[riverside sluggers]

Lester isnt performing like himself, I should know, I had gone to his 14 K one hit performance--sorry guys but thats it for me, girlfriend just showed up at my place. peace
