Yeah, it would be nice if our 7th starter wasn't needed, so I agree, please let this be it for Axe in the rotation.

 

Yup I agree he has no business being on this team, but I'm really not a fan of giving up games like this one and the Stewart Cubs one...

Would you throw a strike if you faced a home run hitting club with the stuff he has today?

Walking them working so well.

HERE WE GO, LETS RUN WITH THIS MOMENTUM

 

Two outs in a row. You're onto something, Heads.

Isn't starting Axe on short rest = a bullpen day? Especially when the bullpen already has 6 other rookies?

 

The rest of the bullpen throw 107 pitches on Wednesday?

No, I mean that should be pretty obvious.

If we're going to be competitive with Chris Sale as a key starting pitcher, giving up a game is going to be unavoidable. It's just another hangover from being "all in" and putting him in the bullpen last year.

Terrible start

Would you throw a strike if you faced a home run hitting club with the stuff he has today?

 

Well throwing balls isn't really helping him either

No need to burn a minor league option on him.

 

Oh, and I think he's on the DL.

 

He's indeed on the DL.

Just show some composure Dylan, and get through the next 6 innings without giving up any more. Then all is forgiven

Wow encarnacion killed that one... Let's get the line moving guys...

Momentum. I've got Youk going deep and then doing cartwheels around the bases.

Ok they have been down b4 even in Axelrod's last start, they will come back.

Well throwing balls isn't really helping him either

 

Oh I agree, it's just why putting him on the mound with less than his best stuff was never going to work. 6 homers in 26 innings this year.

He's probably got three more innings, if that.

He's indeed on the DL.

 

We ever find out why?

He's probably got three more innings, if that.

He'd probably h ave that if he was throwing a shutout.

Good start Ale.

ADA leadoff double.

Hey that's a start!

Nice start...let's get a few

I see you, Alejandro.

Just gotta chip away at the lead, its only the first no worries

Youk 4-10 in his career against Cecil. I feel like he's a good matchup.

Oh I agree, it's just why putting him on the mound with less than his best stuff was never going to work. 6 homers in 26 innings this year.

 

Come on, the guy maxes out at 90, "less than his best stuff" is 86 instead of 87 mph.

 

 

Maybe he just is getting burned because he isn't all that good.
