Lester looks bad... Arencibia and Davis will swing at absolutely anything and he still didn't come close to putting either of them away, after already having allowed the previous 4 runners to reach base.

Then he gets a K on a wild pitch and Snider makes it safely to first, heh. Poor guy. But the only thing better than Arencibia and Davis to cure a bad inning is Jeff Mathis. Let's see how this turns out...

Lester is total garbage right now. What has happened to him :-t

His cutter has disappeared. Seems to be the biggest difference. The aforementioned Arencibia and Davis with back to back jacks :-D

He's doing the opposite of Tim Lincecum, getting worse as the season goes on instead of better.

its really amazing how horrible Lester is. i have no idea whats wrong with him but he has some serious issues.
he has to be either hurt or tipping pitches right?
anyone just outright drop him yet?

I'm debating giving him 1 more start, or just dropping him already. Don't think he's much value in my league especially when Yahoo Fantasy has a front page article that states "Sell Low on Jon Lester"... :-[

Also...Is this what we've been waiting for since Ryan Zimmerman's rookie year?

Ha, I have done the exact thing. All of his HR's have come from my bench.

At least I started him today ;-D
