[TURBO]

*sigh*

[sdcheezhd]

2 gifts (not pitching to Francisco and the DP ball deflected into a hit) but only 1 run. Yuni, nice.

[The stache]

I'm trying to decide, is this better or worse than last Sunday's lineup? Sigh.

[jjkoestler]

Yunibomb!

[BarneyStinston]

Its good to know that Axford is still as worthless as ever.

[The stache]

Axford being Axford. He's great in mop up, when there's no pressure. But when he's called on to keep us in a game, he's just terrible. From a 3-1 lead in the top of the sixth to a 5-6 deficit in the bottom of the eighth. Joy.

[BarneyStinston]

And there's the typical quick turn from a lead to an instant loss compliments ol Blowford once again. Without K-Rod, there's nobody to close things out.

[The stache]

It's up to Rickie Weeks, who's 0-4 with 2 K's today. Can he tie it up?

[The stache]

Thanks, Axford! Thanks for nothing!

 

Trade him. I'd take a box of Oreo cookies for him.

Well...that is simply...wait for it.......not true.

 

4 earned runs in July in 12 or so appearances, and 0 in June. Is the axford hate fully deserved?

 

That's what a quick search yielded anyways.

[chadomac]

Axford isn't the type of pitcher that would fare well at Coors Field. Not that many pitchers do, but especially him. Ah well. Get that draft pick.

Not really very good. 12 appearances that resulted in 9 1/3 innings of work, 10 hits, 4 runs, and 166 pitches. 2 blown saves. A guy who is supposed to make a living on strikeouts with 7 strikeouts for the entire month. If K-Rod put up those kind of stats, nobody would have traded for him. Unfortunately, Axford apologists such as those on TMJ4, tend to exaggerate every scoreless outing he has and minimize every blown game he produces.

Says the guy who was defending Betancourt earlier.

And how bad did Betancourt do today? 2 for 4, 2 RBI

So positive or negative play for one game is how you form your opinions about players? Must make for a long season....

[BarneyStinston]

Apparently, someone defending Betancourt good play lately somehow excuses Axford's season long struggles.

No one play or one game defines how unreliable and disappointing Axford has been. Even in this game alone he gave up 3 hits, 2 runs, a wild pitch, and only recorded 1 out. This is far from the first time we've seen Axford lose games for us this season

[stoutdude04]

You failed to acknowledge his scoreless month of June. Does he live up to your expectations? Guess not. Worthless however, incorrect. I am happy Yuni was able to raise that OBP and OPS today!

[chadomac]

That is hilarious that you think Axford has been bad all season but you think Betancourt has been somewhat valuable. You must've only watched the month of April this season.
