The Chicago Cubs have some very outspoken pitchers on this team. John Lackey is one that’s never been the guy to hide what’s on his mind. And after the game, he’s not going to hold back in that situation either. It was clear that Lackey felt he pitched better than the numbers will be, but should that be enough? You hear the term “gamer,” or that he’s gritty. He “battles.” That’s great in theory, but is it time for him to simply pitcher better than he has?
Personally, I like Lackey. I like his fire and how he will wear his emotions on his sleeve.
