Hopefully he can sustain this success

His career numbers are .267/.362/.415 so this run is simply regression to the mean. He was likely never going to be that bad for a whole season. He's now at .243/.332/.379 so he's not far from his normal performance.

So what you're telling me here is that is was the baseball gods' plan all along?

I preached from the high heavens like moses that his numbers weren't really lower than career norms in bad categories. His BABIP was down which is more a "luck" thing.

I know you did, so did I. People gave up on him just as he was turning the corner which was silly. He's 29 years old and is what he is, he was never going to be that bad.

Isn't Lester supposed to be terrible because he can't throw to 1st base? Who's this guy with a 3.25 ERA

Well he was born in Florida. Beyond that I'm unsure.

Ah okay. I thought he was Hispanic of some kind (maybe Dominican) but then I heard him talk and he sounds as American as it gets lol threw me off a bit

Please, Lester, just keep pitching well. I don't want our bullpen in this game

How can the bullpen raise my blood pressure this time?
