I think the injury fear is really baseless.Tey are not asking him to pitch. OFers basically stand around and get one or two balls a game. There is more of an injury risk at 1B.
Who cares if he is a good dude. This is a game where performance is everything. I don't care if he is Mother Theresa and Ghandi rolled into one. I want him cut. Send him to the dog track.
Idiot rookie catcher coming out to talk to the pitcher about missing badly to Youkilis on the first 2 pitches. The pitcher said check out the on deck circle you fool. I'm not throwing Youkilis a strike! Baseball players don't have much brains.
If the pitcher gets out the first batter, he should walk the next 3 to get to McDonald. I am serious. I would not let one of our good hitters beat me. Make the two garbage time hitters beat me.
It's not Lester's fault. With the lineup we have out there, he would have to pitch a shutout, and with our unsound fundamental team, that ain't going to happen.
