There has been at least 3 pitches now that were OBVIOUS strikes that this ump called balls. Ever since that move he made towards the dugout in the first, he hasn't gotten a single call.

he may have missed a few with Garza, but I can't believe some of the stuff he's called a ball with Lester

How many young pitchers that can help you win right now do you take before Jon Lester? It's gotta be a pretty short list.

I'm biased, but I don't know that I'm even taking Felix before him. Lester has shown he can do it against the best at the biggest moments, which we just haven't seen from Felix yet.

Only young pitchers I even consider before Lester are Lincecum and Hernandez and I'm pressed to take Lester because he is a lefty

Haha.

I like how Maddon shuffled our lineup tonight, but seriously he needs to move Evan out of the three hole. He's been hitting like this for a month and a half.

I've never understood the logic of sending a guy out for another inning who already at his usual pitch count when you will not let him work out of a quick hit or walk.

At least getting so many guys on here means we get the top of the order up before Papelbum.

Not too happy with Navarro right now.

Navarro is horrible.

Lester is a beast though, he doesn't get near the credit he deserves. He's the true Ace of the Sox's rotation.

At least we got one. Evan can make all forgiven with one swing, or just got on for Zobrist to do the job next inning!
