  • Inconsistent Jones falling behind in the count

    CHICAGO -- Through 21 1/3 innings during the 2013 season, hard-throwing reliever Nate Jones has issued 12 walks. But Jones believes control isn't the problem as much as control early in the count. "I get in trouble a little bit by falling behind and I need to go out there and attack right away and get that strike one," Jones said. "I mean it really helps out. You can tell ...

  • Sale adamant about pitching on Tuesday

    Email CINCINNATI -- The Phillies' Cole Hamels couldn't have projected a 1-7 record, nor could the Astros' Philip Humber think he'd go 0-8, or the Dodgers' Josh Beckett be 0-5. And Edwin Jackson never imagined he'd go 1-7 with a 6.11 ERA in his first 10 starts with the Cubs. Cubs manager Dale Sveum wants to see Jackson throw with more conviction and be at maximum ...
