If we win this game, Iggy snagging that throw from Lester might end up being an important play

 

So much for that idea

I fear that this will not simply be a bad game for Lester. He unraveled before our eyes. There is something terribly off with his game.

 

His problems seem to begin and end somewhere between his ears. He started the game nipping at the edges from hitters 1-9. Send Mickey Mouse to the plate and Lester is nipping at the edges.

 

Once he could not be that fine, he came in a bit more and got drilled. Once plan B did not work he went back to nipping only now he was aiming the ball. Once a pitcher starts aiming the ball, forget his mechanics...they are shot. But it all started because he does not feel like he can challenge anybody anymore. Maybe he can't.

He isn't nibbling on purpose, he just can't correct his mechanics.

You can't pick up pitching mechanic problems through the TV.

 

You look at his results. It's s***. He's falling off the mound on a bunch of pitches.

He is nibbling on purpose. You cannot tell me that he is challenging hitters. There is only nibbling or challenging.
