Breaking Down Jon Lester's "One Bad Inning"
Take a look at Jon Lester's numbers and you just want to cringe. They're bad, they're ugly and they don't seem to be getting any better. But if you take a deeper look, maybe Lester hasn't been that bad. But first, let's take a look at his overall numbers. Note: you may want to hide your child's...
Game 47: No offense tonight
Hey, that guy did well. But on the major league side, the Red Sox did not. They lost to the Twins, 5-2. Jon Lester wasn't very good. He gave up five runs, six hits, three walks and struck out four in six innings of work. Daniel Bard (1IP, 1BB, 1SO) and Takashi Saito (1IP, 3SO) relieved...
Game 41: Lester, Bay sweep Jays
FINAL SCORE: Red Sox 5, Blue Jays 1PLAYER OF THE GAME: Jon Lester (6.1IP, 8H, 1ER, 2BB, 4K) When Jon Lester pitches well, the Red Sox win. That's a fact of life. Lester pitched well tonight and the Sox did win, 5-1, sweeping the Jays right out of Fenway Park. The Red Sox now sit just a half game...
I Got the Modern Sounds of Modern Massachusetts: Next Series Pitchers Preview: Boston Red Sox
After finishing the homestand on a high note with a four-game sweep of the White Sox, the Jays head into Boston 19-21 May for a three-game set up 3.5 games (though just two in the loss-column) on the second-place Red Sox. After dropping two of three to the Yankees last week, this should be a...
Sox need to do something big. Like nothing
After an ugly West Coast trip where the Red Sox went 2-4, some people might be searching for that little red panic button. Thankfully, Theo Epstein is not. Where are the Red Sox's problem spots? They're pretty easy to spot. The biggest problems are: Bad starting pitching. Josh Beckett, Jon...
Game 36: Red Sox lose ... but how?
Don't pretend you can figure out the guy pictured above. Because you can't. Jon Lester was struggling early last night, but he was still pitching well. Then it all just unfolded. From the 5th inning on, the screws came out and Lester surrendered five runs, including two home runs by Ichiro Suzuki....
O Starters Where Art Thou?
Recently a certain Red Sox hurler has come under scrutiny, and I'm not talking about the guy whose DFA announcement caused birds to sing and lepers to dance Javier Lopez. No, the man under fire is Josh Beckett, two-time playoff hero, 2007 Cy Young runner up, and "on paper" Sox ace. I'm with those...
Game Story: Dream Streak Ends At 11...
The offense continued its assault on American League pitching, but it wasn't enough on Tuesday night to overcome the defense's blunders as the Red Sox fell to the Indians 9-8. Brad Penny gave up 7 runs in his 2.2 innings of work, however only 4 were earned. Errors by Mike Lowell and Julio Lugo...
Game 2: Lester struggles, Sox lose
There are high hopes for Jon Lester this season, but let's just hope his first start of the 2009 season isn't a sign of things to come. Lester got knocked around for eight hits, five runs and two walks in the Rays' 7-2 victory over the Sox on Wednesday night. Lester struck out five. The top of...
Lester to feature new pitch in 2009
Jon Lester until this point had been predominantly known for his Fastball, Cutter and Curveball mix. That, according to Lester is about to change (no pun intended), as he has been working on incorporating a change-up into his already effective arsenal: "I think it's going to be a pitch like we...
