A most profound Terry Francona quote from ESPN.com:

"If you watch his reaction after the last out, in his mind that was his last hitter," Francona said of Lester. "He was very willing to go back out. But I think you can make a mistake to ask a pitcher when he kind of emotionally shuts it down or turns a switch off to ask him to rev it back up."
