justBLAZE Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) Just got in and I don't feel like reading 189 posts. How is Jackson doing? Has he been impressive? Throwing lots of strikes, great fastball, mediocre slider, giving up lots of hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) Jeez, another hanger. Stop calling for it AJP! It's all he has other than the fastball, and the fastball is very straight. That hit was on a straight, 95 mph fastball down the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Bosley Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 What is considered to be Edwin's best off-speed pitch? He seems to have an effective fastball, but I haven't seen the good off-speed to go with it. It certainly isn't the slider this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyLawRules Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 At this rate, this game will become a trivia question. Whow threw the last shutout while giving up 17 hits. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he been impressive? Not really. He's gotten by on guts it seems so far, he hasn't really made anyone look bad. Both of his pitches have been hittable.

That hit was on a straight, 95 mph fastball down the middle. Cooper has his work cut out for him with Jackson. Like you said, he's basically a one-pitch pitcher. He could really use a change-up, as everything is hard with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he been impressive? not really impressive for a scoreless 3.2 IP ... biggest thing has been no walks, and our D hasn't helped him much, but hes gotten away with a bunch of hanging sliders....not many hard hit balls though among the bunch of hits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson will die with the walk. If he's getting the fastball over, we will always have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had one really good slider on the outside half that Peralta tried to pull and looked bad. His next at bat, Jackson threw that same pitch to start the at bat off and Peralta lined it the other way and barely missed a double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmon...give the guy a break. Half of the tigers' hits were cheap Twins like singles. Imo he is pitching quite well. No walks and lots of hangers on the breaking balls.

Knackattack Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 E-Jax has been lucky tonight, but you can't expect full results from Coop in a week; however, I'm liking the 0 walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
