caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Wow, this game is really dragging...almost 100 pitches for Axelrod in less than 5 IP. Don't expect that kind of pitch count from a control pitcher. Needed Dylan to go six innings there....one of the first early hooks of the season by Ventura. Boston getting hammered by Baltimore again. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, not. I think Farmer hates Showalter more than anyone in the game of baseball.

fathom Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ May 6, 2012 -> 07:45 PM) I think Axelrod may be capable of holding down the 5 spot. For a .500 team, yes. Very hard to rely on a guy like him though, and I think he'll get destroyed at the Cell. He deserves a chance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect him to do better when he has a better routine instead of getting called up for sporadic relief appearances before finally getting a start. Would be nice if he faced an easier lineup too, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Another problem with Axelrod in the rotation. Stewart and Ohman have almost exactly the same velocity when they come into the game. You'd prefer to be able to follow Dylan with Jones. Bailed out by the DP ball. Fortunate to be only down 2-1. VERY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should be reasonable to expect Axelrod to pitch well enough that we win whenever the offense shows up. OHMAN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty34 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Axelrod probably is guarantted one more start with the DH tomorrow. I think I'd rather seee Stewart though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish Stewart was starting in AAA right now. He's a sinker-first guy and that's just wasted in the bullpen. He seems to even have lost velo in the bullpen, which doesn't make sense.

fathom Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) How slow is Rios now? Sad thing is that was the most predictable DP of the season. 39 at bats and counting since his last extra base hit or walk. Edited May 6, 2012 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
