jon lester pickoff yips thread

[treebird]

this is a thing that has to exist now

Yep. Not a myth. I think he just wanted to show us how bad it really is so people will leave him alone about it.

[treebird]

i would also like to say that i am really bitter that this weird and hilarious (to an outsider) thing had to wait to happen this year. such a bizarre occurrence would have been a great sideshow in 2013 or something.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Don't care. He just needs to stop giving up an 8000 LD% and 120000 BABIP.

[RynoRules]

Yeah, it stinks, but its less important than the fact that his arm appears to be 33% of what it normally is.

I think Montero needs to catch him next time

[Hairyducked Idiot]

1.65 FIP

[sontensei]

cant help but to think what if he is a mike hampton without the bat bust

[Clem Fandango]

Chicago (and national) media keeping it real.

1.65 FIP

 

Good point and it makes me feel better.

[RammyFanny]

Looking back at the replay a good throw from Lester there totally picks him off.

so as long as lester doesn't give up a bunch of solid base hits he should be ok

[RammyFanny]

ESPN is the worst, right after a game with so many better story lines.

kinda makes up for the bad routes, fumbles and bumbling at the wall.

[bukie]

I don't see the big deal about this. It's the first time he tried a pickoff throw in 3 years, and he picked off a runner are third by five feet.

i think we should draw it up that way

 

lester fires one right at soler, guy gets excited and runs to 3rd, soler guns him down.

[Tracer Bullet]

Just an absolute [expletive] canon
