Maddux comparison by DJ for Axelrod in his approach to pitching.

So the ump is giving him 6" off the plate?

Axelrod loves Betemit

The Rod is having a nice game.

Now that's the Betemit we all love.

I was hoping to watch this one and see Axelrod pitch, but can't watch it.

 

Can someone give a report on how Axel looks? Stat line for the game looks quite good for a major league debut. What is his velocity? How is his stuff?

 

Why is that second run earned? It scored because of the error by Rios, and no one got a hit after it.

He looks like Dan Hudson but about 6 in shorter. Thats the best comparison I can give you. Very whippy across the body arm motion with a tailing fastball and a slider/curve that drops off the table a bit.

s***, just got back.

 

Props to Axelrod. I gotta go back and see highlights though of his K's.

Should we go over to Marty's "We need to fix this rotation!" thread and say "Done"?

Farmio with the ethnic joke...

 

We must be to the "there's no listening anyway" stage of the baseball season.

Huh?

Huh?

The actual Major League quote is "Oh nobody's listening anyway".

 

2k5's at the stage where he's not even bothering to type the word "body" any more to make the major league reference regarding this team.

Huh?

 

They were joking about Farmer having DJ's food ready for him when he got onto the plane today, and Farmer called him "Hop Sing".

Oh, OK. I didn't understand why you said the ethnic part at first.

Is it possible Detroit might let them win one?

 

Dumb base running by De Aza. Some of the new guys will be interesting to see how well they do when they aren't hitting.

Maybe Kenny will get Rayburn because he kills the Sox.

Oh Sergio...

Oh Sergio

f***.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh wow.

 

Does anyone else see our playoff hopes slipping away?

Yep, they were just playin'. I guess they decided to get out another can of wup ass.

Axlerod should have got a win. Odds of another HR ?

sigh

The Tigers... The SOX's new Twins?

Hopefully we are back to Sergio having a dead arm and not something more serious.
