Hmmm, maybe your league keeps counts by innings. As Beckett pointed out, take away those one or two bad innings and he had a really solid start.
Obviously it's Spring. It's only one start. This is just a hunch. I didn't say he sucked as a pitcher, just that I expect him to be our number 4 guy this year. And I think the staff overall will be better. Love the bullpen. Lackey will be better and Lester's not done establishing himself as The Man.
