All the starters have sorta' been nip and tuck. Beckett has been the best of the top 3 but just barely. He is one poor outing from making it a situation where you could probably toss a blanket over all five of them and not have a dimes worth of difference between them.

 

Doubront and Bard have probably done a bit more than you would expect from a 4 and 5. Lester and Buch have done way less than what you would expect of a 1 and a 3. Beckett has done pretty good as the 2 I think but is really only one bad start from being pretty damn close to Lester and Buch. On the other hand if Beckett has a good start next time out he puts a lotta' distance between himself and Lester/Buch.

 

Lester really needs a good start here as these guys are chumps that Lester has dominated in previous starts.

Don't know why' date=' but I've got a bad feeling about Lester tonight.[/quote']

 

I see him cruising through 7 innings, getting into trouble in the 8th, Bobby wonders " I think Jon is getting tired " Lester throws a strike.... Bobby " ha, I knew he was fine".....Lester then walks the next 2 batters, gives up a double and the whole time Bobby is saying " well, I thought he was gonna work through it that time"

 

Edit- this isn't too far-fetched ( sadly ) how many times has this happened this yr??

Also it's Candace Bergen's birthday. Make of that what you will. John Brown's' date=' too, a man who is too often overlooked in Civil War History.[/quote']

 

 

John Brown's homesite is about 3-4 miles from my house.

Why is he so off balance?

 

Well I am guessing here but if you remember he went to a lighter bat a few games ago because he thought it would help his bat control and he thought he would be a little quicker on the ball. So far I have not seen any difference in the direction of his foul balls. I could be wrong here because I have not gone and looked at the splits but he seems to be popping up more than usual. I think he is pulling off the ball and his shoulder is flying open. That would certainly contribute to his looking a bit off balance. The lighter bat may not have been such a good idea after all.

Ahh man, I was hoping after you typed "You could toss a blanket over all five of them" that you would have continued with "Fill up some socks with bars of soap and or batteries and beat them until the blanket was a nice shade of crimson and the twitching stopped"

2-out walks always seem to lead to bad things when we're pitching. When we're batting they seem to amount to nothing.

Damn it...I am having no luck getting the mental picture of that out of my head.:D:D

Actually, one of those balls was a strike. The ump missed the call.
