Lester into the 8th

You may want to tune in. :smoking:

On July 6th he carried a no no into the 7th and lost the game outright, 0-6.

I know I was watching.

How is that relevant here?

He pitched a no hitter in 2008

 

[HarryCaray]

He`s pitched a no hitter in 2008

Also true.

You guys are just full of facts over here.

 

[Greenbacks]

Going to need about 130 pitches if he gets it.

 

[HarryCaray]

I hate that guy so much

 

[Greenbacks]

Old man A.J. gets a hit......A lefty no less.

 

[C.P.]

just turned it on...

FUCK A.J. POS

 

[Michelangelo]

You see any relevance now? The guy can't finish. He's a six or seven inning pitcher.

Obviously I see you're not a fan. "The guy can't finish". LOL

What do you want out of him? 110 pitches and 7 innings of no hit ball.

There aren't that many "finishers" out there today in terms of finishing games. I don't think it's some big indictment against him.

 

[Michelangelo]

I'm a gambler. Finishers get premium consideration. Lester isn't one of them. Tonight was the first game this year that he went beyond seven innings.

Hope you didn't fade him tonight because of this glaring deficiency.

Well, with pitch counts being a huge concern, there aren't many finishers these days. Complete games are rare. Unfortunately mlb is decided by 7th and 8th inning guys that are specialists and probably should be pitching in Pawtucket

 

[Michelangelo]

The best go beyond seven innings in at least half their starts. Lester isn't one of them.

 

[vitterd]

Maybe the top 10 pitchers in baseball but most don't have Lester as one of those. He's probably in the 13-20 range of best pitchers. Guy is pretty solid and an ace for some teams and no less than a number 2 on the majority of teams.

He pitched a no hitter in 2008

I was at that game.

It was awesome. I'll never forget it.
