Lester's in the zone.

I hate when an opposing pitcher looks this good against the Rangers.

Yep

Especially one that should have been a Ranger, if not for the damned Player’s Union…

So, Holland's line looks pretty good tonight

And the offenses line looks even worse than usual. Don’t tell me we’re gonna give Jon Lester his second no-no.

Still

I’d rather it be 1-0 with both pitchers looking good than 5-4 with both looking bad.

The problem is Dutch is still at least somewhat hittable and lester.. how do you induce a blister?

When the pitcher...

pumps two consecutive 97 MPH fastballs into the zone to start the at-bat 0-2, there’s not a lot you can do with when he comes with one or two breaking pitches.

With this stuff Lester has right now, he would be doing this to any team.

the Rangers are a streaky bunch of hitters.

That drives me almost as mad as walking the bottom of the order.
