When was the last time we had a starter who could throw 97-98?

 

Colon in 2003 is the only one I can think of in recent memory...it would take him until the 4th or 5th to get up to that speed, though.

 

And it seems he threw more often at 95-96-97 when he was with the Sox.

Jackson just needs to go after these guys with the fastball on the 2 strike pitches. He's hung probably 80% of his sliders so far.

 

His slider for the strikeout was close to the perfect pitch.

 

Didn't that last ball that hit the bag...wouldn't Konerko have fielded it for an easy out? Or was it going to get past him for a double and possible runner scoring from 1st?

I agree. It's pretty nice to have a hard-throwing starter. I feel as excited watching Jackson's 97's and 98's as I was watching Jenks' 99's and 100's in 2005.

It was past him already, so it was a break for the Sox. Hit-and-run time Ozzie!
