7/8/07 Brewers (Capuano) @ Nationals (Redding): 12:35 PM CDT

[crewcrazy]

Ugh...not much they could do about that double play bunt. For those who can't see it, Cappy tried to bunt a ball high and tight, and fell backwards while popping up the bunt. Redding let the ball bounce before picking it up and throwing it to second to get Counsell who had to wait and see if Redding caught it, and the Nats threw over to first to get Cappy, who had no chance of getting down the line in time.

 

Just a bad luck play overall.

And thanks for not running there, Chris.

It's hard to run when you're lying on your back.

[Kpanz20]

no other brewers pitcher makes that play

 

edit: the play i mean is tossing out nook logan on his bunt

[Jopal78]

Youman, Simontachi, Robinson Tejada, and now Tim Redding. This is shaping up to be yet another game, when a fringe major league arm shuts the Brewers offense down. Consistently dropping games against teams #5 starters is going to come back to bite the Brewers eventually.

What's Capuano complaining about?

Was he complaining that it was an infield fly rule?

[sauveb]

Even though I hate it when the opposing pitcher gets a base hit, I don't mind that one. If he stays out there for the whole inning he could tire quickly in the next inning and get hit hard.

Trivia answer -- Hank Aaron?

[Ennder]

Cubs up 1-0 but Zambrano not looking very good. He's thrown more balls than strikes and is over 50 pitches with 1 out in the 3rd.

I would HOPE that Cappy is smart enough to know that the infield fly rule doesn't apply in that kind of situation with just a runner on first.

 

On the other hand, what was J.J. doing??

[Kpanz20]

of course laroche doesn't rake anymore once the brewers leave town

[steve267268]

This kid is AWESOME!

[bucks2281]

Cubs and Pirates tied at 1-1.

Edit: 3-1 Pirates! Big Z is laboring.

I was just reading lips. It's over 100 degrees in there. Who knows what he was thinking.

There have to be at least two runners on base for the infield fly. I was wondering if there were runners on first and second if the ball was hit high enough to have called the infield fly. If not, it would have been a sure triple play.

[sauveb]

So much for looking for a silver lining.

[adambr2]

More great clutch hitting for us.

[wisconsinfan47]

This is so frustrating. How have we not yet lit up this clown?

 

At least the Cubs are losing...

[packfan79]

They better start hitting some homeruns this team can't manufacture a run to save its life.

[bobskube]

Guys...sometimes you think the Brewers are going to explode and score alot.

 

Today does not seem like one of those days.

you can't have the infield fly rule on a bunt anways doesnt matter if the bases were even full

[JoeH33]

I think the All-Star break is really going to do this team some good.

This is probably what the Nats fans were saying last night going into the 5th inning.

[Kpanz20]

[Kpanz20]
