And yes, that Jessie Rogers quote really happened.

That's almost McCarver like. "Run support" is nothing more than the number of runs the pitcher(s) you faced allowed.

Its not McCarver like. Its just a fact.

Run support matters. Its not just one pitcher vs the other. There are several factors and the offense being faced are not the same. Pitching against the Blue Jays is a lot different than pitching against the Mets. There is no denying that.

Your idea that offenses are all pretty much the same is just way off.

That's why pretty much everyone in the world who follows baseball knows W-L can be deceiving.

And Lester has done just that. 4 times in the first half.

Probably 8 pitchers in baseball qualify for what dolphin is saying. Lester is not one of them and never has been.

He's good.

So they signed Lester to be a number 2? Number 2s are getting 150 million dollar contracts now? I'll lower my expectations.

They signed him to add to the rotation. Jon Lester is Jon Lester. He's not Randy Johnson or Chris Sale or Felix. Yes, you should lower your expectations if you expect him to be that kind of pitcher.

Lester is in the second tier with Cole Hammels, Jordan Zimmerman, Lance Lynn etc

Didn't look like he went, 3rd base view would be nice.

This Cub offense is so damn frustrating. It's amazing how the bullpen has turned it around while the hitting has tanked pretty hard. Coming into this season I was sure there would be a lot of softball style wins for the Cub, while the one run decisions and low scoring games would be few and far between.

I was listening to the Cardinal radio broadcast and they thought it was the right call and that the Cards overreacted. Kinda surprised me that was their take

Maybe it went over the base, but it would be the craziest spin ever on that ball. It bounced foul before and after the base. I don't believe it ever bounced in fair territory the entire time, did it?

But I was also talking about the fact that Matheny already went and talked to the umps on the field....and nobody mentions the fact that he needs another pitcher? It was clear he didn't know he got throw out.
