MILWAUKEE -- Francisco Rodriguez is unhappy with his role on the first-place Milwaukee Brewers. Acquired from the Mets at the all-star break, K-Rod has been a setup man for John Axford of Simcoe, Ont. Rodriguez first told CBSSports.com on Tuesday night that he was no longer happy with his role, and was even more pointed on Wednesday. "Im not happy. Thats the bottom line for me," Rodriguez said. "They told me one thing; they havent done it, and I stand by what I said." The NL Central-leading Brewers sketched out a plan when they acquired Rodriguez to share save opportunities with Axford when they acquired the season saves record-holder at the all-star break for two minor leaguers. But while Axford has converted 39 consecutive saves and 42 of 44 chances this season, Rodriguez has only finished one game -- that in a non-save situation. "His mentality is a closer. I feel bad about not being able to get him in some situations also. I dont want to ever have a guy come over, and you kind of have this thing mapped out they way ideally it goes, and it doesnt go that way at all," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "So I feel bad about it, too." Rodriguez, a free agent to be, has gone 3-0 with a 2.31 earned-run average in 25 appearances with Milwaukee. Axford has a 0.99 ERA with 19 saves in 27 games since Rodriguez joined the staff. Previously, Rodriguez had called the move to the eighth inning a tough adjustment, but understood it because of how well Axford has pitched. "Dont tell me something youre not going to do. Thats what irritates me most. They told me they were going to do something, and they didnt. Simple as that," Rodriguez said. "Im pretty much trying to come in every day, ready to pitch, and get my job done when they needed me. "But at the same time, I had an expectation like every other player. They told me they were going to do something, and they didnt. Thats why Im a little disappointed with the situation." Rodriguez said he has not spoken to Roenicke about his frustration and hes waiting for the right moment. Roenicke, a member of the Angels staff when Rodriguez played there from 2002-08, said Rodriguezs frustration hasnt affected his performances on the field, but if they needed to have an in-depth conversation, he would. "Frankies been really good. He hasnt been in an ideal situation here, for him. He has been for us because hes been great. Hes pitched great. His attitude on the field has been great. Hes getting along great with his teammates," Roenicke said. "Frankies a closer and thats what he wants to do. When I dont have him in those situations, or those opportunities for him, it bothers him. Does it bother him to the point where it affects whats going on here? I dont think so. At least it hasnt so far." Rodriguez is looking forward to the seasons conclusion. "The seasons about to end in two weeks, and we need to win eight more games," Rodriguez said. "So Ill go as hard as I can the next two series coming up and try to wrap them up now. Thats it. Thats the bottom line now. Thats the most important thing." cheap jerseys .

Chisenhall left in the second inning of the Indians 5-4 victory over Toronto on Thursday night after being struck by an 0-1 pitch from right-hander Carlos Villanueva. "He will see a specialist tomorrow," Indians manager Manny Acta said after Cleveland rallied for five runs in the ninth inning. "The ball hit his cheekbone and the area around his eye is swollen," Acta said. Chisenhall tried to duck out of the way, but the pitch struck him squarely, near the ear flap on his batting helmet with two outs and none on. He never lost connsciousness, and was bent over as Acta and trainer Lonnie Soloff ran out of the dugout to check on him.dddddddddddd He got to his feet and walked off, holding a towel to his nose and cheek area. Villanueva said he was upset by the incident. "I feel really bad about that," he said. "I wasnt even trying to go up and in. I just flew open (in his delivery) a little bit. I hope hes OK." Villanueva said he would try to visit with Chisenhall sometime during the weekend series. Chisenhall hit his first career homer Wednesday night in a 5-3 win over the New York Yankees.
