Ross with some more solid framing. Just gotta' execute on offense. Quality outs, moving runners, making good contact.

Again -- the pains of a young team.

You keep saying "Pains of a young team." What exactly does that have to do with Lester giving up hits all over the field and not throwing to the right base?

This is what LaStella's MO is -- solid at-bats, making contact. Lead off man aboard for the third straight inning. How about a run this time?

Getting the leadoff man on in all three innings and not plating a run. And sure, Lester hasn't been sharp up in the zone. He's not locating his fastball on the inner third to lefties and it's resulted in some hits. It's the first game of the season -- take a Xanax and calm down.

Thinking about it Maddon set his Lineup right..
All 3 guys that lead off each inning are OBP guys and they each lead off with a hit..

Maddon a genius. . ; )
