id keep the IFs back.

[UK1679666180]

Although he has a horrible approach Lake is one of the best at solid contact on the team.

[UK1679666180]

Wasn't a bad sequence that AB, he just isn't sharp.

[Hawk4Hall]

Edwin's ERA back up over 7.00. [-(

[Omar]

There has to be somebody we have in the minors that can put up better numbers than Edwin Jackson.

[UK1679666180]

Jackson's problem is that he has never been able to rely on anything other than stuff, he's never been good at changing speeds or using deception.

Can Bosio teach him the magic cutter?

Great use of $11,000,000.00.

I hear Mariano Rivera is free these days.

[mul21]

That's the second time this game the ump has called 2 consecutive pitches in the exact same location a ball on one pitch and a strike on the next. This is getting ridiculous.

2 years left on his deal I believe after this season as well.

[UK1679666180]

Can Bosio teach him the magic cutter?

 

He throws it very rarely for a reason. I think they scrapped it this year.

[Hawk4Hall]

Can Bosio teach him the magic cutter?

I'd take Joe Borowski's backdoor slider right now.

[Ballgame64]

The top of the order makes Wacha throw 7 whole pitches.

[UK1679666180]

This should be it for Jackson. I can't see him going another inning.

[UK1679666180]

Eh, maybe they'll get 6 out of him.

[Crack Wilson]

They call Matt Adams "Big City" because he's big, and comes from the city. (duh)

[UK1679666180]

Not only bad at balls and strikes, can't remember the count either.

11 mil? That's hard to fathom :shock:

[Omar]

Not only bad at balls and strikes, can't remember the count either.

 

And Len makes a pizza-related fat joke towards him.

[UK1679666180]

They're likely to get 8 of Wacha at this point.

[UK1679666180]

Fred, give me something optimistic please...

[UK1679666180]

There's his cutter.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fred, give me something optimistic please...

 

It's 76 degrees and sunny down here in Tybee Island, GA. I've been sitting here for 3 hours watching this game and asking myself why I'm not over at the beach watching scores of scantily clad young women playing and sun bathing, and you want something optimistic.

 

I'm sorry..... I got nothing.

How the [expletive] does an umpire forget what the count is?
