2012-07-16 Cardinals (Lynn) at Brewers (Fiers), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-2]

[jjgott]

Jeebus that fly out by Beltran looked like trouble

[markedman5]

Behind every hitter and has to throw fastballs down the middle

[jjgott]

Looks like Banana man got a seat upgrade

[markedman5]

Typical Axford inning in 2012

[owbc]

Just blow it by him and be done with it.

[jason21nl]

Just can't or doesn't want to throw the curve.

[FVBrewerFan]

Looks like Banana man got a seat upgrade

 

Looks like FRA got a shorts upgrade too.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I wish he could at least find the 2010 Ax.

[razzzorsharp]

I would think a walk to load them up is the smart thing. Maybe it's time to go closer by committee.

[pacopete4]

Ax is just too damn wild this year to be consistent. Wild within the strikezone last season. Just plain old wild this year.

[sargennm]

Why let him pitch here? He doesn't have it.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Maybe it's time to go closer by committee.

The problem is who would be in the committee?

[markedman5]

Brutal

[trwi7]

Ha

[jason21nl]

He has to be removed.

[TURBO]

AX = Sucks.

 

I'm sick of his act.

[owbc]

Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

[adambr2]

So just wondering at what point the Turnbow/Axford comparisons are no longer all that ridiculous?

[FVBrewerFan]

Time to sell. Sorry Fiers, only way to get a W with this pen is to go the distance.

[pacopete4]

I loathe Axford right now.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Unless they make someone their Colby Rasmus and trade for an entire bullpen, they don't have a prayer.

[markedman5]

His inability to throw even fastballs for strike has also been a big factor too Rock......

Two months ago.

[moofnelson]

This actually could have been a good season if the bullpen wasn't so crappy. As much as I dislike Rodriguez, I think it's time for him and Axford to trade roles.

[ninja33]

Ax certainly hasn't looked good. But he should have been out of the inning
