They kept Nava up here so long that they destroyed his trade value. Back 3 weeks ago, he might have been attractive to some teams. When Pods came off the DL, they should have brought him up immediately and moved Nava. Now, he is worthless again.
People were saying that Lester was not a 4.30 ERA pitcher. It seems that he is a 5.46 ERA pitcher. His ERA at Fenway is 7+. He has taken on the mantle of Lackey, but without the wins. He needs to go to the pen. They can't keep trotting him to the mound to give away games. He needs to get stuff figure out in the pen.
His ERA is 7.65. How many times this season has this guy failed to complete an inning of work? Do we really need to see more of this guy to realize that Benny got taken on this trade. Cut this f***ing guy. He's worthless.
It's funny that you should say this. There have been several time this season that I have thought that Bobby V was letting a guy stay out there to hang himself.
The bad thing about this situation isn't that we think Lester sucks. The really, really, really big problem is that Lester obviously thinks he sucks. IDK what can be done about that other than send him to the pen to get his head right.
Isn't there anyone in the organization on the payroll in some capacity that they can call on to break down Lester and figure out WTF is wrong with him. Tiant works for the team. Eckersely too. teams have been known to call on former players when the coaches can't figure out stuff. Heck, the Sox were always calling on Phil Niekro to help Wake, and Niekro wasn't even on our payroll and never played for us. There are no other pitching coaches in our system who are familiar with Lester?
These guys are at a loss for what to say. the pitching has been sucking it so hard that there isn't much left to say.
They need to get him out of there. He's toast.
What are you talking about? They made a mistake by taking the reins off Bard? Is that what you are saying? That doesn't make sense to me. Bard just sucked. it had nothing to do with taking reins off.
Ace!!!:lol: First pitch HR. This guy sucks. They need to get his ass into the bullpen. f*** hurting his feelings. This is a business where the aim is to win games. He can't. Get Morales back in the rotation, and let this mess work out his issues in the bullpen.
