This strike zone is an esoteric mystery and it is a race to see whether Joe Maddon or Dave Hernandez can decipher it's clues

I can't believe Lester is not criticized more in the media for not being able to throw to first. It is inexcusable to not be able to throw a 50 mph toss to 1st base just to keep them close.

That he should grow greens instead of crushing on MCs

The Dodges are the first team that actually had a good game plan to take advantage of Lester and then completely don't follow through with it. I will never understand.

I don't know why yall are bitching about the strikezone, Baez got called out on strike 3 on the very same pitch that was wayyy outside and high. At least he's consistently terrible.

Yeah I was actually pissed walking outside today feeling that. It's been like 8 months of that, then we had a few days where it felt like autumn, then NOPE gently caress YOU.

Also what the gently caress does it take to get umps with actually competent zones in the post season? I know they exist - I see them in the regular season with reasonable regularity. Meanwhile it seems like every post season zone is an absolute loving mess.

Kind of surprised it has taken this long in Lester's career for someone to figure out they can run on a lefthanded pitcher that can't balk to first.

Lester is very fast to the plate and we have good defensive catchers. A ploy to rattle him maybe

No Addy stop you're supposed to swing at hanging sliders in the middle of the plate, not take them for strike 3 called.
