Edwin Jackson made his seventh appearance of the season and continued to prove that he has no business pitching in the majors any longer. The 35-year old surrendered three round-trippers and seven runs while only retiring two batters last night versus the Los Angeles Angels.
Jackson now sports a 12.43 earned run average while serving up 12 homers and 35 earned runs in just 25.1 innings of work. For a team entrenched in a rebuild, there is no reason to keep trotting Jackson out to the bump every fifth day unless you are intentionally trying to tank the remainder of the season.
