There will come a point in time when Tammpa Bay decides to have mercy and take Edwin Jackson out of the rotation. He is 0-8 with the highest ERA in memory, of someone that has pitched in a rotation this long. He stands at 8.20. Tack on 30 more runs that the D-Ray pen has allowed in his starts, and these games are difficult to win. The young D-Backs have had trouble with the good teams, as witnessed when they faced the Yankees and Red Sox, but they are 18-5 vs. teams with a losing record. But this game isn't about much other than fading a team that continues to run a starter out there that is not major league and backed by middle relief that is equally poor.
