Way to go EJax!

Jackson is hitting his spot on nearly every fastball he throws.

Wow, is that a K and an assist?

I'd get Thornton up in the pen in case Damon's up with a few on. You want to have Jackson leave with a good taste in his mouth.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:56 AM) A straight Danks-esque change woulld be deadly. I'd have Garcia work with him on his change/splitter pitch.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:55 AM) I bet if you could do double-splits on those you'd find that a lot of the damage lefties did was behind in the count. If he gets ahead of them in the count and rides it upwards like he did to Boesch 2 innings ago they won't have a shot. Agreed, as that slider seems to break right into the hitting plane of a lefty.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) He just needs to refine his slider and he can get by with two pitches. Make him a 3-pitch pitcher with that change-up also. Lefties were hitting above .290 this season coming into the game off of him, so he needs something to keep them off-balanced.

Jackson continues to do an amazing job throwing his fastball for strike. He hasn't had 3 balls on anyone yet.

QUOTE (Bhay99 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:50 AM) scott baker with a 2 hitter going against tampa.....really? Tampa's had two leadoff doubles, but they couldn't get the runner home. Baker has these really low hit games a few times every year.

It really would be enjoyable seeing this offense with Castro and Viciedo getting more playing time.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:46 AM) really? didnt know that. thx for letting me know. I was making a joke, using "comes" as a pun

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:44 AM) here comes ozzie's boyfriend... I thought we were banned from having sexual innuendo comments about Ozzie?

Gotta love Hawk stressing DEEP TO CENTER...it literally was 60 feet from going out.

I'm predicting a Kotsay homer to right field.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 12:41 AM) Goodbye baseball, it's been fun. Not to discredit the Sox, but Galarraga looks terrible.

PK, you beast!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 12:37 AM) That was a perfectly located fastball to Boesch...rising and up out of the zone. Very impressive inning there.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 12:37 AM) That can't be right... I heard he had 7 a few days ago

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 12:35 AM) Rios needs to sit for a few...or at least tomorrow. I keep pointing this out, but he just seems disinterested. His defense hasn't been great during the 2nd half, and his base running has been awful for about 2 months now.

Fantastic sequence to Damon. His fastball control has been sensational.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 12:34 AM) 0 walks is very encouraging. I'm not gonna be hard on Jackson for all the hits, because half of them were bloop singles and odd bounces. Haha, you just said hard on

QUOTE (shawnhillegas @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 12:32 AM) Everything pounded into the ground. Cause he's pulling off everything.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 12:32 AM) Geez, how many DPs does that give Rios for the past 2 weeks? At least 5 I would think. It's 9 since ASB, I believe.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 12:31 AM) Alex is killing us lately. Either GIDP or striking out on pitches in the dirt.

Wow, Rios with just a terrible effort there. He just isn't close to the same player he was during the first half.
