southsideirish71 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 The lineup that Robin trotted out today is in the spirit of Guillen's Sunday lineup. Yes lots of lefties in the lineup but when Kep is your 5 hole hitter you have issues. Hopefully Axelrod has his best stuff today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty34 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Not breaking 90 mph. Is that first-inning velocity from Felix or reason why contract extension was held up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Throwing lots of 2 seamers, but he has been averaging about 1mph of velocity loss per season on his heater since he came into the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Axelrod won't make it past the 4th inning, his junk looks like...junk. No attack whatsoever, just throwing up garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't "look" right to me. Â I think if I turned the gun off and just saw the movement, etc. it looks good but the velo is off for sure. His changeup has nasty movement but today is only 5-6 mph off his fastball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Has anyone found out why Konerko isn't playing today? It really makes no sense that Keppinger isn't playing 3rd and Gillaspie is playing 1st if Gillaspie is the defensive replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
