Including yesterday, he given up multiple runs 5 times in last 40 appearance. .

Like i mentioned, he only given up a run 4 times in last 34 appearances. .

SO ??? your gonna piss in his cereal cause he mightve blown a lead or tie game 4 times in his last 34 appearances. .
Come on... ��

Um, that's what makes it much more noticeable. Whether you like it or not, he has 6 losses. Those tend to stick out for a relief pitcher, and I'm fairly certain that not many other relievers have that many.

Another well earned L for Mr Lester. This guy has either got it going or has nothing.

Yeah, that "real" one who sucked in April with no spring training.

He hid well the last 8 weeks behind the "fake" who had great start after great start.

LOL, yeah, we won't count his bad starts. The guy isn't an ace.

Yeah, Lester, you damn.....human!
Got nothing to do with being human. .

His team lost 2 in a row and maddon used up the pen yesterday to try and give his team a chance to win, knowing his Ace was starting today..

Well his Ace failed him by getting crushed in 2 innings snd the pen will be used up more..

Russell has had a bad inning. Pulled Rizzo off the bag. Should have covered second on a steal. Makes a nice stop but goes to first. Should have went to second. Castro was there. Those are things he needs to learn from in a young age.

Corey Kluber just got hit up for 6 runs by Boston. Mookie Betts, Boegarts, and Ramirez are not in the lineup. Its baseball. It happens.

Stop with your logic and let us continue to live in the moment and not take anything in context god damnit!

If it was one of those things that just happens, it wouldn't bother me. He had a bad start, big deal. For Lester, this has been the story of his season. He puts together a string of starts where you think he's going to just dominate, then he immediately has a stretch that you're like, "why the **** are we paying this guy this much?"

Not living in the moment at all. Look at his numbers. Bad month, great month, bad month, great month. Guy gets too in his head, especially when a runner gets on base.
