The last 3 outings it looks like the rest of baseball have figured him out big time.What is he doing wrong?
He 34, stuff isnt working for him in the 2nd half..The last 3 outings it looks like the rest of baseball have figured him out big time.What is he doing wrong?
His velocity is down on his straight stuff. Almost 2 mph down since 2016. His secondary stuff is still good. He needs to tweak his approach. The heat isnt there anymore. He also isnt finishing batters and because his velocity is down. He is trying to get cute by painting the corners and he is walking guys.
Cubs only hope is that when/if Darvish returns, he healthy and pitches a whole lot better then before injury..The question really is Lester done. Last 7 starts 8.65 era and a WHIP of just under 2. It's a question that has to be answered in the next 18 days IMO otherwise the Cubs are at least one starter short in the playoffs.
Though i dont totally disagree he may not be a SP for the long term, he was far from slowing down now..Montgomery was starting to slow down. He's not a starter for the long term IMO.

Was Montgomery invited to an allstar event?Could also be a jinx by the baseball gods for snubbing their holy all star event.
