Eric Young says that Edwin Jackson "has unbelievable stuff"

He does
Just can’t locate it
You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

Last time I watched him pitch it was pretty nasty
but that also was awhile ago.

Doesn't throwing 99 count as stuff, breaking balls notwithstanding?

Everytime I've see him pitch
he’s around 96 but I’ve only seen him pitch twice and both times were in 2007.

JI, Edwin's fastball averages around 94, he's got one of the hardest fastballs among starters in the league.
I’ve seen it touch 99 in the 7th inning of a start. He throws straight gas. But doesn’t hide it well and hitters sit on it because it’s often in the middle of the plate. And big leaguers can hit anyone’s fastball if they know it’s coming.

Posnanski has a pretty good column on Pedroia in the latest SI.
He makes good points, mainly that it’s unfair to compare him to other short white players with the “gritty” label because he can actually hit.
Not that he’s the MVP, but he’s no Eckstein.

Mark is right in an objective sense.
Narratives don’t drive ratings even though they should (and I agree that both teams — assuming a Rays win — have good stories). Markets usually drive ratings. Tampa Bay and Philly are both small teams with low-key profiles. It’ll be a ratings disaster, but wonderful ambrosia for baseball lovers.

I would very much enjoy a first pitch labrum tear

Be careful, that labrum could be B.J.'s

Sorry, BJ has perfect pitching mechanics and therefore will never have to worry about shoulder problems

No, the labrum will be too lazy to tear.
by Double06 on Oct 16, 2008 7:38 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's actually what kept him going during the season.
His labrum merely felt like fraying a bit instead of tearing.

I'm guessing it's an announcer
And even a moron would know that Pena had over 30 homers (and Longoria almost certainly would too if WE HADN’T BROKEN HIS FUCKING HAND).

I will eventually convert the world.

My brother was converted the same way.
My girlfriend is now addicted to the show too. We’re going through the 1st season on DVD (up to the 11th episode).
Sadly, we don’t have season 2 on DVD.

154 is a bit of a comedown, but contains their best two songs in "The 15th" and "Map Ref."

Nice at bat, I bet 7 of our starters would have struck out in 3 straight pitches right there.
