How did that not get out?? Off the bat it looked like Rios CRUSHED that ball!

jesus...I thought that was a no doubter.

I thought that was WAY gone off the bat. We are killing the ball.

The two hardest hit balls go for outs. Baseball is funny.

 

Still looks good, though. 3 consecutive rips.

Good 1st inning, got a run on the ball and all 3 outs were hard hit balls

man, our offense looks like its gonna be nasty all year

Nasty Edwin JacKson.

Sick slider by EJ there.

Edwin Jackson is gonna be our best pitcher when the year is done, thats my feeling

For only being 27 it sure seems Jackson has been around forever....

I like how the beer guys need to wear the neon yellow jacket or else he would get lost in this capacity crowd.

I hate Choo. He looks like a scrub but he plays baseball well.

That has been and probably will be Jackson's problem. After he gets 2 strikes, he just tries to fool the batter in to chasing a ball, and as long as they are patient, they can draw a 3-2 count, and hope he misses.

Jackson getting a little wild here

Edwin's FB is all over the place.

I think it's purposeful though, just to get the K. If you notice, he can go 0-2, 1-2 pretty easily, and then just throws garbage to get them to chase.

I love Choo. I hope the Sox can get him when Cleveland gets relegated.

thanks for blocking the ball Choo

Nice play by Gordon.

Either way, I don't like it. He threw 8 more pitches that inning than he should have.

I hate that, just finish them.

Thats the way he is. He's going to throw a lot of balls and a lot of pitches.

That won't work against the Choo's and Santana's. Gotta go right after those guys.

No, I agree. And I think that is his problem. He should be less concerned about the K, and rely more on his defense and his ability to blow his 95MPH fastball by them.

That is a damn beautiful job of hitting by the 20.
