Soxfest Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Axelrod is gonna get smoked If he keeps walking guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 01:17 PM) Considering he doesn't have much even when he's on regular rest, this decision made zero sense. Heath or Santiago would have been a better choice. I really hope we don't have to watch him pitch after the break. You'll likely get both of them today anyways. 4-0 Jays.

fathom Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Please let this be it for Axelrod in the rotation this year (but I'm sure they'll blame it on the short rest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCangelosi Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 01:15 PM) Terrible decision to start Axelrod on short rest. Reminds me of the decision to start Stewart vs the Cubs. In your opinion what should we have done? Personally I would've started Sale and told him he can pitch in the AS game next year.

Dick Allen Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 With all due respect for Hawk, if I had Axelrod's stuff, I'd be a little leery of throwing strikes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
