Lester is a mental midget.

 

Once he start doing bad he doesn't stop giving runs until they take him out.

 

I'd pull him right now. I guarantee he will give more runs if they let him stay.

 

:lol:

 

Lester is so easy to figure out. Maybe I should go apply for the manager position.

Ya gotta' admit Lester is a fit for this team. We have hitters that are whiny little bitches...I guess a #1 pitcher that is a whiny little bitch should be expected.

God you're stupid. And so is 95% of this site for that matter. I'm done here' date=' no point in congregating with retards.[/quote']

 

I'm about to hop on this wagon too. Forget that they're mad about Lester, they're so full of s***. Only like players and the team when they do bad. They hate when people complain so it's best we just leave and let them hae their own s***.

Un-f***ing-beliavable.

 

If Lester doesn't turn his s*** around and fast, this team is more than done.

 

We also have BUMHOLTZ and BarF. And Beckett is too inconsistent to be any good. That leaves Doubront. We are already f***ed. Thats what happens to team that are second to last in pitching. Generally, they suck.

I just don't know how he is going to do it UN unless he changes his attitude first. Ya' can't be standin' out there on the mound totally obsessed with what the ump is doing. These are the same s*** umps that make the rounds and ump every game. If you are going to let them get to you....your toast before you can even start talkin' about FB's and CB's.

You all have all the creativity of a 6 weeks dead roadkill.

Yeah, you're right. The language reflects frustration at how bad a team we are this year, but the fact of the matter is that our pitching does stink. And we are going nowhere this year because of it. Time to just chill and accept that fact, eh?

For lester to get back to form, he need an offspeed pitch. They're teeing off his s*** fastball, and stop throwing inside so much and miss by a foot.

Talent issues, primarily.

I think that he simply isn't that good. He is a #3-4 SP; thats all he is now. Maybe our expectations are too high for him. I was hoping he would come up big in a big game for us, but he is no longer capable of doing that. He has gotten worse over the years since 2010, consistently worse.

We have seen this attitude problem all year from the Sox starters who feel entitled. Notice we don't see it from the bull pen. They just pitch.

No. It literally means "Chill the f*** out". You're like plankton, and go where the waves take you. If the team's doing good, there's optimism, if they're losing a game, everyone sucks.

What does this even mean? I mean, seriously, where do you come up with this stuff? Oy.

Well every once and awhile we review these guys for their competitive standing within the league:

Lester, one of the sorrier excuses for a #1 and clearly not a 1 for a contending team

Beckett, still in my mind as solid a 2 as you are likely to find but not better than that

Buch, an absolute disaster as a 3

Doubront, better than most 4's you will find

Bard, better than most 5's you will find

 

As I mentioned earlier, Lester's behavior and his demeanor on the mound is way below expectations for your #1 pitcher. You just cannot be out there obsessing about ump calls because they have already beaten you if you do. You have let them beat you.

The over use of the cutter. It has caused a general reduction in velocity. This has been repeatedly commented on by scouts, Cafardo and Abraham and even Remy. Once they leave it high in the zone and out over the plate it is a meatball.

I don't recall ever being optimistic about this team's playoff chances; not this year. I LIKE it when they win and DISLIKE it when they lose. More like kelp, firmly rooted. :lol:
