4/14 - Sox @ Tribe - Lester v. Westbrook

[schillingouttheks]

Lester needs to have more confidence in his stuff.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

How long until Bartolo Colon comes back from the DL?

[jacksonianmarch]

Lester might be better as a reliever

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Lester might be better as a reliever

 

I hate relievers that can't throw stikes.

[jacksonianmarch]

he always seems to locate early in the game then loses his command at the 50 pitch mark

[Cocos Disciples]

Lester's getting rocked.

[ORS]

Quit looking forlorn you stupid f***stick. Belt high fastballs result in hits. Deal with it.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Well Jon Lester is our #5 pitcher. I wonder if they would honestly consider sticking him in AAA if Colon really can contribute

[schillingouttheks]

I am going to kill that f***ing drummer. That damn banging is pissing me off.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Meh.

[redsoxrules]

another walk

[ORS]

Leadoff walk. Who'da thunk it.

[TheKilo]

he always seems to locate early in the game then loses his command at the 50 pitch mark

 

He's no Phil Hughes, that's for sure.

 

Lester is a bit of a mental midget. f***ing throw strikes, man.

[TheKilo]

Methinks it's at least 4-1 once the inning is over. Who's with me?

[TheKilo]

Yayyyyyyyyy

[ORS]

Another hit on a belt high pitch. Lester will never be good until he can pitch to the lower part of the zone.

[ORS]

5 walks. Get rid of him. I can live with growing pains, but he's not improving. Same mental mistakes time after time after time. He's a bust.

[riverside sluggers]

Gotta love that 10K/15 BB ratio on the season. Last 2 starts he has been unable to complete 5 innings. Hoping for a long outing by Wake tomorrow for the bullpen's sake

[redsoxrules]

the sox should of tried harder to deal him for santanna

[jacksonianmarch]

2nd time through, the hitters start to pick up the ball better and he doesnt have the control to deal with it.

[ORS]

Hopefully, Lester can string a few good starts together before the deadline without our FO thinking he's turned a corner and they can get someone good for him.

[ORS]

f*** yeah, way to go Batshit.

[das11209]

Lester stunk - but we should have been able to get 4 runs on the board with the number of hits we got.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Sox score four in this inning.

[das11209]

Tampa came back to tie it at 7-7. Longoria is gonna be berry berry good.

 

Joba's leave might get cancelled.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Congrats to Longoria on his first MLB homer, congrats to Brian Bruney on...well, nothing.

[Youk Of The Nation]

That's what you get for being named Asdrubal.

[Youk Of The Nation]

The Yankees bullpen is an amusement park ride made up entirely of laughter...one might even go so far as to call it...a lollercoaster.

[Youk Of The Nation]

If Ortiz breaks out of his slump here...I'll quit smoking.
