JON LESTER RUMORS & GOSSIP

Your Morning Dump...Where Lester had his best stuff

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “I thought he had his best stuff of the year tonight,” Valentine said. “His curveball and his cutter had hitters jumping back, and the two-seamer was electric.” Lester (3-4, 4.79 ERA) allowed four...

Red Sox News & Notes - 5/31

The Boston Red Sox are finally playing baseball like they wanted to. They had shown flashes of it earlier but were still inconsistent. Now though, it seems that everything is coming together. Jon Lester battled early last night but was dominant after. And while he didn't pick up the win, he did get some timely hitting from David Ortiz, Will Middlebrooks and Adrian Gonzalez...

Sox Win 3 in a Row Against Tigers!

Jonny Lester took the mound for the Red Sox against the Tigers and hoped to make it 3 wins in a row. Early on, Lester struggled, but he seemed to get stronger as the innings went on. Lester gave up some runs early in the game. He loaded the bases in the 1st with one out and luckily only one run scored on a Young ground out. Lester then gave up 2 runs in the 3rd inning on a worth...

Jon Lester, Red Sox Have 'Best Stuff of the Year' Despite What Numbers Show

Editor's note: NESN.com is going to tell the story of the 2012 Red Sox in Bobby Valentine's words. Each game day, we will select a Valentine quote that sums up the day for the Red Sox. It's not always about the numbers. The Red Sox have put up plenty of gaudy statistics this year in games that devolved into ugly losses, but as they've hit their stride lately, production...

Jon Lester Shows Perseverance Against Detroit, Settles in After Rough Start

BOSTON –– The 10 hits were a season-high for Jon Lester. Through 10 starts entering Wednesday's 6-4 win against Detroit, the lefty hadn't surrendered more than eight hits in a game. But the 10 hits and three earned runs weren't indicative of how Lester felt about his pitching arsenal. "Felt like I did," Lester said of having some of his best stuff. "...

Adrian Gonzalez Back in Right Field as Jon Lester Takes Mound to Quiet Tigers

The Adrian Gonzalez experience in right field has been an overall success thus far for the Red Sox. And with manager Bobby Valentine trying his best to slowly work Ryan Sweeney, who had dealt with some post-concussion symptoms, back into the rotation, it looks like Gonzalez will be treking back out to man his post near the bullpen again on Wednesday. The start will be Gonzalez'...

Recap: Lester stinks, Sox lose

(Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images) The Rays jumped all over Jon Lester in this one and cruised to an easy 7-3 victory. I don't know what got into Lester tonight, but he was bad.  Yanked after 4 innings bad.  Surrendered a grand slam to Matt Joyce bad (not that Joyce is bad, but giving up 4-run homers certainly is).  What makes it worse was that two of the...

Recap: Lester goes the distance in 6-1 win against the Mariners

Now that was a pitching performance that this team needed! Jon Lester allowed just one run on eight hits at the lefty goes the distance against the Mariners, leading the team to a 6-1 victory. Lester had his contol all game as he didn't allow a single baserunner until the fourth and didn't face any serious threat until the seventh and he worked out of that. The lone run...
