7/17 v White Sox

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow. Some things just don't change. Lester getting dicked again by bitch hits.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Lets go Lester, bear down.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Well, that isn't a great start. Settle down now.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Damn.

[VA Sox Fan]

I know from reading last night's GT that some people like the new placement of the score box by NESN. I don't for selfish reasons. I like to sit on my deck and watch the game and when I angle my tv so I can the game I used to always be able to see the score box. Can't now. Oh well.

 

Lester is not having a good start, at all.

[iortiz]

Lester is a joke.

[mvp 78]

Wow. Some things just don't change. Lester getting dicked again by bitch hits.

 

Funny how that's EVERY start. Maybe it's not bad luck.

Or he is just allowing a lot of hits, bitch or not... He is better than this. Maybe he has SAD like Greinke

 

Pitching pitching pitching.

Yeah. He's let up a few hard hit balls too. But his BABIP is screwing him, and his swing and miss % has decreased by 5% since 2010. More Contact + Higher BABIP = Bad news.

[redsoxbeatz]

Beckett settled down so I hope Lester will too. But he CANNOT keep doing this. Cherry needs to get us a #3 quality guy, Lester is like a #4 now.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice DP! Come on offense!!

[NC Sox Fan]

Man did Lester need that DP!

[SoxFanForsyth]

Funny how that's EVERY start. Maybe it's not bad luck.

 

I mean, the guy's BABIP is .326 coming into tonight. He's been hit hard, no doubt, but some of those hard hit balls should get caught since a lot of the dribblers are bleeding through too. That's all I'm saying.

Almost think he need AAA time to gain some confidence back. All these bad 1st innings & overall outings must have him in a mental rut. :dunno:

 

What is Lesters BABIP & FIP in the 1st inning vs. 2-9?

[Station 13]

Solid start, ace. Don't ever change.

[SoxFanForsyth]

At least we're facing Humber tonight.

 

5 IP, 9 ER vs BOS earlier this year.

[iortiz]

Could be worst but Lester is a blank check these days...

[Youk Of The Nation]

At least we're facing Humber tonight.

 

5 IP, 9 ER vs BOS earlier this year.

 

And that was without Ells and Crawford.

[lesterkett]

Lester really sucks

[SoxFanForsyth]

Not sure why the hell we have Nava DH'ing, and especially not sure why he's hitting 3rd. If you just sent Morales back to the bullpen, why not option Tazawa and call up Lavarnway to DH for the week that Ortiz is out?!?

Yup. Clobbering time. But nava in the 3 hole sucks, he wants to prove us wrong I hope.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Atta boy Ells!

Dude, Welcome to Boston:lol:

"Some," sure. He's still getting hit around every start. It's not bitch hits that kill him, it's getting too much of the plate.

I'd DH CC. Keep it easy on his elbow and groin.

Ross in the field? I like that.

[SoxFanForsyth]

CRAWFORD BABY!!!!!!!

[mvp 78]

CCizzle!

[VA Sox Fan]

Alright Ells and Crawford!!

[SoxFanForsyth]

That was a quick run.
