If Bourjos slides normally there he's easily safe.

Nice play by Bryant. Coming in on the ball is supposed to be a weakness for him.

[Guest]

wait i was told that runners on base against lester are given coupons good for a free trip to 3rd base

 

I ALREADY SAID I WAS WRONG

 

oh that wasn't directed at you, more towards the media infatuation and others who are more invested in wanting something to be deathly wrong with Lester

 

also that coupon joke is pretty good amirite

[treebird]

it is really funny how uncomfortable guys are with these huge leads.

[Derwood]

Has Lester thrown a pitch for a called strike yet?

[treebird]

jd brought up my favorite jon lester pickoff problem solver (lester sprinting at guys who are on base)

SHUTDOWN INNING

[fallacy]

If Lester gets out of this inning with the lead I will be amazed

 

I AM AMAZED

[Gilby]

Lester didn't hurt himself on that 1-2 pitch, did he? Something looked weird there. Hopefully it was just the landing spot or something.

Ill give credit to MLB for one thing. 2 minutes between inning halves are awesome.

He stubbed his toe on follow through, looks fine

[DiamondMind]

You guys should keep talking about Indian and Chinese food, maybe its good juju.

Russell either looks really good or god awful

Russell either looks really good or god awful

 

Almost like he's the youngest player in baseball

Learn how to throw, Bryant. You're gonna kill Rizzo.

[fallacy]

Bryant throws on the foul side of first base every time. Hopefully he doesn't get rizzo hurt

[treebird]

rizzo should set up two steps up the line when bryant throws and then everything will be perfectly on target

[halplm]

he did it right last inning.

[treebird]

lester big-timing rizzo, making him go get the ball he dropped

[OleMissCub]

Lester plays the field like a six year old

[Gilby]

Lester is the reason the stereotype that American League pitchers aren't "athletes" exists.

[treebird]

yiiiiiiiiiiiikes soler

 

EDIT not as bad as i thought, more just that he was ridiculously shallow to start
