ooh boy, bullpen time

what if clayton richard is better than jon lester

night everyone [expletive] you lester

Well, thats enough Cubs for me tonight.

He's not a clear outlier, current pitchers like Bumgarner and Greinke hit the ball amazingly well, which is what adds to them being 'elite' (and former ones like Maddux). Lester does not do these things.

You're just being willfully contrarian. You know pitchers can add to their value by being a competent bat. Zambrano added like 1.5 WAR one year, and Lester is literally the worst hitting pitcher in the game. You don't see how that lessens his value in the NL? For a good as a pitcher he can be, he continually shoots himself in the foot with pretty much every other single aspect of NL baseball.

Tough lefties have dominated us though. Until we rack up their pitch count by the sixth and get into the bullpen.

We're still winning this game. We've been coming back in games all season.

It bothers me that Lester only does one thing well - pitch. He can't hit, can't field -- so when he does make a mistake on the mound its magnified

No ones a malcontent, Lester just does really stupid [expletive] all the time and it's frustrating.

yep, he was the piece that held it up for a while

you call everything embarrassing Uh, no I don't. Go antagonize someone else. you antagonize all of nsbb constantly welcome to ignore

As sick as it is, I've been rooting for the Cardinals both series (pitt/SF)

you call everything embarrassing Uh, no I don't. Go antagonize someone else.

thats [expletive] embarassing
