Jon Lester has 'the yips' and it is a sensitive subject
I don't really want to talk to him about [his bounce pass to first]. When you have that, when you don't want to throw the ball, I mean, it's in your mind. You don't want anybody to talk to you about it. Riz [Anthony Rizzo] talks to him all the time about it... I couldn't do it. It's a sensitive subject.
Lester's struggles with pickoffs and fielding were a documented part of his career, famously managed by the Cubs during their championship window.
