July 17, 201411 yr It's a slow news day Oh, mine was that time he won a game, didn't he outduel Felix or something? So that was actually kind of cool.
July 17, 201411 yr Mine is this thread. Seriously though, I have nothing against Dylan, he did the best he could and that's all Jesus could ask of him.
July 17, 201411 yr Mine was when he was just sitting in the dugout watching other White Sox pitchers pitch.

Sale, Peavy, Floyd, Danks, Quintana, Santiago AND Axelrod?!?!? That's seven starters!" What is "Keep, trade, surgically repair, keep, keep, trade, and non-tender then sign then trade?"
July 17, 201411 yr I always thought of Guns 'N Roses' cover of Knockin' on Heavens Door, and that Dylan Axelrod is a pretty cool name to have.
July 17, 201411 yr My son and I met Axelrod during a tour of US Cellular (part of a perk from a BullsSox Academy camp). We then went to a game a few days later, and Axelrod was the starter. He actually pitched well, and the Sox won on a walk-off single by Youkilis.
July 17, 201411 yr I was at the game vs. seattle. Pretty sure we won 3-2 behind a 3 run alex rios homer and stellar Dylan pitching. Not many guys pitch in the bigs, he had so little talent, and made it. Tried his best. Tip my cap.
July 17, 201411 yr It was cool of him to take Chris Sale's spot in the rotation the only time I flew home a couple summers ago. I didn't buy the tickets to see Sale pitch in the red uniforms. No no. I was lucky enough to see Colby Rasmus & co tee off on DA right away instead. Thanks again Dylan.
July 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) His first 11 starts last year were pretty fun..... One of the main reasons we were able to get a top 3 pick. (Rodon) Got nothing bad to say about Dylan. Kudos to him for even making the majors.
July 18, 201411 yr I was at the fog game last year against the Blue Jays. It was Axelrod vs. Dickey, both got rocked
July 18, 201411 yr Didn't he pitcher a two hit shut out a year or so ago? Seems to me I watched that game. Trouble with DA is that he could be successful for a few games and then it caught up to him and he was giving up homers like crazy
July 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 04:08 PM) Served as a reminder that Coop couldn't fix everybody. The fact that Dylan Axelrod pitched in the majors with the crap for stuff that he has is a testament to the job someone is doing.

If you gave Masaharu Morimoto dog s***, cat s***, and chicken s***, the only thing he's going to be able to serve you is s***. It doesn't mean he's not a great pitching coach.
