thanks to lester's nice fielding is now 4-3 . f***

 

Maybe he should have thrown to Peeedy at second. I'm not sure if that was the play. Francona should pull him now. That, I'm confided of.

You guys really think Lester has been awful? He's striking out over 10 per 9. He's walking less than 3. The bloops and bleeders are effing killing him. In that past inning, there was one well hit ball, the HR, but he induced 4 weak contact balls in play that only resulted in 2 outs (yes, part of that was a poor fielding decision), before the Gutierez routine single. His line is good for a .500 BABIP, and on the season coming into the game he was at .393. He's likely now over .400. That's not going to last, unless it's some fault of advance scouting and they are just horribly positioned defensively.

 

Granted, he's giving up the long ball, but I can count more than a couple that were the result of the inning being extended by balls in play that had eyeballs.

 

I'm much more concerned about Beckett who doesn't seem to have an out pitch.
