Lester reminding everyone that he was a .500 pitcher this year and nowhere near ace level

Cubs just can't do jack when Lester pitches.

Having two black holes in your lineup every start leading to nearly .75 less run support per game is probably part of it

maybe next year we can find some veteran presence that can also hit at least 20 points below the mendoza line

thats the second time this year ross has crushed a ball foul then meekly struck out

I understand why Lester was signed and over time it will make sense but his weaknesses were so much easier to hide in the AL and while this isn't all on Lester's shoulders almost half of his starts this year he has gotten 2 or fewer runs in support and they're 5-10 in those games.
