daa84 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 axelrod must have killed hawks dog or something. Don't get me wrong, axelrod has had some bumps but hawk seems to just love laying into him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 06:28 PM) It's amazing how Axelrod keeps getting matched up against some of the best offensives. Poor guy Is he on short rest today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 12:29 AM) Is he on short rest today? Well, he pitched in relief on Friday night. Sox are treating him like he has a rubber arm even though he's shown no evidence of being able to handle the extra work load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgaughan09 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Axlerod has no go-to out pitch when he gets to two strikes. Big problem for an MLB pitcher, especially facing this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big problem for an MLB pitcher, especially facing this team Yep, when you face a patient team like Red Sox, you're not going to get them to chase. I keep saying this, but I pray this is Axelrod's last start for the Sox. You flat out can't be putting a pitcher of his terrible quality on the mound as often as the Sox have.

Marty34 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Axelrod is a good candidate to have go away for three years trying to refine a knuckler. It's his only hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Tied after 1...could be worse. Axelrod just has to keep it within a run or two going into the 6th. Edited July 16, 2012 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Axelrod has the stuff to compete (I wouldn't say thrive) but he just pitches scared. As soon as there are two strikes he goes into "nothing near the zone" mode and will either walk or end up laying something in there to get beaten. He's finally tried to pitch inside today but won't do it late in the count or in a location that will draw contact in play. Key for today is staying out of 3-2 counts, it can't be automatic like that when he goes 0-2, 1-2 as often as he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
