5/16/06 Phillies (Lidle) @ Brewers (Capuano), 7:05 PM CST

[COOOOP]

How can we win this game? It looks like they have spiderman behind the plate!

[iluvlamp]

how surprising, Jenks with a double and no love...I am tired of people hating on him, esp...the proud partner and fans who don't appreciate him. Look at his lifetime stats and the haters should just keep quiet. HE had the sac fly a couple days ago, he had the base clearing double...plays good D...I guess I just don't get it since no one can ever say anything good about Jenks but focus on the bad...thanks peter brown...ignoramus

What?

[Point Beer Is Best]

Looking at Sal Fasano makes me think that I'm watching a game on ESPN Classic.

 

And as I type this, he gets in a rundown.

[JoeH33]

Cappy strikes again!

[adambr2]

I'm just amazed that baserunners still haven't learned not to mess with Capuano.

[iluvlamp]

Will teams ever realize that a small lead is the way to go against Cappy?

 

Of course I hope they never do.

[JoeH33]

What in the world was Koskie doing?

 

Was that a blown hit and run or something?

[wOOgiE22]

Cmon your letting Lidle get out of jams by doing that!

[jloos19]

Please tell me they just didn't send Koskie on his own, there had to be a hit and run there.

[adambr2]

I'm confused by Koskie stealing in that situation. He's not a runner, and you have Miller up with 1 out. Now we have to have the pitcher lead off the next inning, which we wouldn't have had to do.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Hit and run or not, just a dumb move. Now Capuano leads off next inning.

[JET15]

Unlucky 13 E for Weeks

[JoeH33]

Sheesh, another error on Rickie...

[COOOOP]

Dear Lord, that throw wasn't even close to Prince!

[adambr2]

And Rickie the walking error strikes again and puts the leadoff man on. Nice.

[iluvlamp]

Wow, that was flat out bad Ricky. 13 errors in 36 games

[Trowekamp]

You know it gets old defending somebody and the the body of evidence finally starts to wear you down.

 

That is how I feel with Rickie... I want him to stay at 2B but make a throw please.

[Trowekamp]

As for the Jenkins comment.. let's wait until he is hitting better than .280 before proclaiming his greatness.. a blind man could hit .260 in front of Carlos right now...

and with the amount of times he strikes out you could argue that might describe Jenkins.

[PeaveyFury]

Hit and run or not, just a dumb move. Now Capuano leads off next inning.

 

Miller was up and is hot as can be with only one out, I don't think that Capuano leading off the 3rd should have played into the decision at all, especially considering that Miller hit a double play ball right afterwards.

[DuWayne Steurer]

especially considering that Miller hit a double play ball right afterwards.

 

 

No runner on base, the situation changes. There's no guarantee Lidle throws the same pitch with Koskie not on base.

[Trowekamp]

And that folks is why Cappy is the ace this year...

[iluvlamp]

I didn't proclaim greatness....He's a good ballplayer who people i guess feel they have to hate on. Lifetime average of .281 and a lifetime OPS of .857....That's terrible according to some dopes I hear talk about him.

[adambr2]

Good job bailing Ricky out, Cappy.

 

Things are good in the Central so far today...

 

Mets 2-0 over St. Louis Bottom 3

Pirates 4-0 over Cincy Top 4

Giants 6-2 over Houston Bottom 3

Cubs and Nats 0-0 Top 4

[JET15]

A thought for the stat-heads... has Rickie's Fielding become such a negative that it has overtaken his hitting positives? That is, if the Win Shares were calculated for him, would the negative fielding win shares be greater than batting win shares giving him a total win shares below zero?

 

I'm guessing we've reached that point, but I can't find any 2006 win shares out on the net yet.
