Robert Wooten really isn't an under the radar guy in my view, but I get what you mean. I also agree that we are a really good 8th inning guy away from having a really good pen.

The only issue I have with this was the pitch Marte hit out was a ball. Even if Marte was expecting the pitch, it still took a good piece of hitting to hit it out. I agree to an extent. However, when your fastball is as straight as Axford's is, all that the batter needs to do is wait on it and just get the barrel of the bat on it while swinging hard. Also, Axford needs to pitch differently. He seems to think that he can throw that fastball right down the middle of the plate, just because he throws it 96-97 mph, and he's wondering why he's getting hit hard? It's because he has little or no movement on that pitch, he isn't throwing it upper 90's triple digits, and he's really a 2 pitch pitcher. I don't really believe Axford is capable of hitting the corners, because of his control issues. This is a huge reason why I believe Jim Henderson is a much better option for the 9th.

1. Who's going to trade for Axford and take the salary? 2. If he's cut, he still gets the money - it's guaranteed. The money's not guaranteed next season since he's in arbitration. If "future" savings is all that's possible, then that's a huge reason to try to replace him with someone else.
-
I know the Brewers are paying Axford 5 million, but he's not going to be the same pitcher that was worth that kind of money. The Brewers need to look at this as a plus, meaning next season they wont have to pay him that 5 million or more if they trade him or cut him. Time to try some of the young players.
-
I would "love" for one of the reporters in the post game to ask RR if he still has plans to do that.
-
Despite Weeks ability to hit for a half season, he's a terrible defender. Makes him an average 2B man, and replaceable.
-
Axford is all over the place with his pitches according to Gameday and he's throwing pitches right over the middle of the plate. When your fastball is as straight as an arrow and you can't keep your curveball down that's a big no no. No matter how hard you throw you will get hit.
-
What's funny is that RR said he was planning on giving the closer's role back to Axford. What a joke. Take him out of the game.

Segura is turning into Mr Clutch. Very nice to see.
-
Gomez trade finally paying dividends?

My answer to this thread is "yes." I'm shocked and thrilled to be able to say that. -
When is A-ram coming back?
-
Oh thank god, Rickie Weeks!
-
im kinda scared... It's perfectly normal to feel this way right now. I feel the same way.
-
Lol.. Yuni B is the Brewers MVP. It's already over.
-
Lock Segura up now before we have to pay him an extra 10-20 million. No risk at all, just do it. Wow, is this kid good.
-
Estrada just can't keep the ball in the park....
-
Hit in the elbow with a curveball. Was he replaced or did he end up being fine?
-
Is Segura injured? Anybody see what happened?
-
Rickie!!! Yes about time. A clutch hit.
-
About time Rickie!
-
Maldonado the best back-up catcher in baseball?
-
Rickie Weeks needs to walk to be somewhat productive, and a lead off walk I'll take. Double steal anybody?
-
scooter gennett and Victor Roache.

If they do it in May I will be surprised big time. I suspect it will be sometime in late June/July if this continues. Just look at how long it took them to take action on Hall/Hardy as proof. -
Cardinals had back to back doubles in the bottom of the 8th, and scored a run to make it 1-2 Reds with no one out, but failed to advance the runner to 3rd, and the reds got out of it. I haven't seen the Cardinals do that in a LONG time, because it's just not like them.
