2012-06-19 Blue Jays (Chavez) at Brewers (Thornburg), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 10-9]]

[razzzorsharp]

I love that Darren Oliver is still in MLB. I always forget about him and then every couple years I notice that he's pitching.

 

 

Texas Rangers (1993–1998)

St. Louis Cardinals (1998–1999)

Texas Rangers (2000–2001)

Boston Red Sox (2002)

Colorado Rockies (2003)

Florida Marlins (2004)

Houston Astros (2004)

New York Mets (2006)

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (2007–2009)

Texas Rangers (2010–2011)

Toronto Blue Jays (2012–present)

 

Using 6 degrees of Darren Oliver I am sure could get to anyone in baseball today.

Oliver's got to be one of the oldest guys in the majors after Moyer. He's 41, 42? I know Omar Vizquel is in his mid 40's...trying to think of anybody else that's older than Oliver.

[adambr2]

Pathetic. You score 9 runs, you expect to win. Period.

[ninja33]

here's an idea: stop leaving pitches up to rasmus. yikes.

[pacopete4]

All they do is give up homeruns. Every stinkin one of em. Depressing...

[rluzinski]

That didn't take long.

 

The free baseball this year has been painfully to watch. Just hoping for any free baseball tonight.

[phnxcrew]

axbow! This guy's stock is absolutely plummeting

Chain from Darren Oliver to Ryan Braun:

 

Darren Oliver played with Francisco Cordero for the 2001 Texas Rangers

 

Francisco Cordero played with Ryan Braun for the 2007 Milwaukee Brewers

5 HR tonight by the Blue Jays.

 

Unbelievable. We get a 3 run lead on the slam, and the bullpen blows it again.

[burnzy24]

Seriously Axford.....

[danzig6767]

Man, our bullpen is such a trainwreck this year compared to last season.

 

Of all the reasons why i have little hope this team can go on a serious run to get back in the playoff race, our bullpen tops the list.

 

As a type, there goes another one. What a disaster this pen is.

[markedman5]

How pathetic is our pen?

So glad they didn't give Ax an extension.

[topper09er]

Well now Ill take another, must be the first ever back-back-back HRs by the same players twice.

Yep, extensions to closers is never a good idea. Trade them to people who overvalue closers

[razzzorsharp]

They need to go in on these Jays hitters. They are owning the plate.

[burnzy24]

Honestly, I would give K-Rod an opportunity to close. Ax has been that awful.

[The stache]

I think Roenicke needs to chew the bullpen's butts again. It did such a good job of turning it around last time.

[adambr2]

Don't worry Ax, the rest of the pen sucks too. No one is challenging you for the job.

[dlk9s]

I want to make a joke involving Axford and meconium...

[AZBrewCrew]

who's left in the pen? Dillard?

[trwi7]

Like McGehee, it's a good thing extension talks with Axford stalled.

[phnxcrew]

just pathetic. Hopefully the reds and two teams in the east run away with the playoff spots so we have no excuse not to sell. How does a whole bullpen just flat out forget how to pitch?
