Nice stuff by Lester
And the bright side is that Harden's thrown 25 pitches already.

Lester faced less hitters.
Thus: Lester > Harden.
My logic is flawless.

Kept the Tigers shutout with only 4 baserunners.
Well, you know the old adage. Kind of decent pitching always beats good hitting.

Re: Hit and run
When a hit and run is called with you at the plate and Mike Lowell at the plate, and you get a pitch right down the middle, it is imperative that you at least make contact.

But this is an anaemic line up he's facing, and he did issue his usual four-pitch walk(s).

I dropped the ball for the open thread. Sorry about that. For some reason I thought it was another 10 o'clock start. At least we got one in, though!
One of the new features of OTM 2.0 is that I can create a open thread and have it automatically post before the game starts. I would have done it here, but ... ya know.
