Happ has looked great in CF.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Nice play by Happ on a slicing low liner

[Schwarber Fan]

"LESTER DOESN'T WANT TO THROW TO FIRST"

 

*Lester makes a perfect underhand flip for the out*

This game might end before a couple of the games that ESPN was showing during the hour long rain delay to start the game.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Magnificent. He pitched a Maddux.

[Schwarber Fan]

Jonny!

[David]

[UMFan83]

The last 3 times Lester has started against the Giants:

 

9 IP, 1 ER

8 IP, 0 ER*

9 IP, 1 ER

 

*horsefeathering playoff game and Lester threw less than 90 pitches and could have easily pitched the CG

Did I hear the broadcast correctly when they said Hendricks, of all people, wished he had been part of the bullpen dance contest?

Isn't a Maddux a complete game shutout under 100 pitches?

Jon Lester is a magnificent human being.
