5/10/06 Brewers (Capuano) @ Padres (Park), 9:05 PM CST

[Trowekamp]

So anybody remember the movive Little Big League where the kid inherits the twins and becomes the manager. And he thinks his hero is starting to play well until he is reminded that if you get excited on a seeing eye single that probably means it is time for change.

 

That is where I am at with Brady... people mention Weeks and Hardy.. the difference is second year players 22 years old get better.. veteran role players in their 30's do not.. (unless you have Barry Bonds doctor)

[TauPentaRei]

anyone willing to summarize what happened...

 

Sveum loves getting his outs like a hold-em player?

 

Koskie loves collisions like the Maaco man?

 

Brady being ________?

[jloos19]

What a reference Trowekamp.. you're now one of my favorite posters, even if it's only your 10th.

[UeckerAddict]

Is it just my TV, or has the sound on FSN started sounding like Daron and Bill are in an echo chamber?

[True CryM]

And the ump rings him up after TWO strikes. Classic.

[jloos19]

That was Bruce Froemming too, the longest tenured umpire in the majors.

[adambr2]

I hate, absolutely hate walks, especially ones that put a runner in scoring position.

 

 

Cappy is pitching pretty effectively as usual, so far, but seems to be lacking his usual control today.

[jloos19]

Fudge.

[adambr2]

Yep, and the walk costs a run. MAN I hate walks.

[jloos19]

Those are terrible 0-2 pitches. Come on Cappy, keep us in this.

[davemakovec]

This is not the Capuano I'm used to. Single, walk, double, single to the pitcher is not what I like to see.

 

I'm hoping for a pick-off or a GIDP here.

 

Edit: run-scoring single. That's good, too. Great. Come on Cappy, we really need to win this game.

 

It's the PADRES!! They're in the NL West, officially the worst division in the history of ever.

[getupgetouttaheregone]

Bruce Froemming is the plate ump. Ueck was kidding that he has an 18 handicap golfing, one for each hole.

[Team Canada]

I wish Jenkins would actually hit the cutoff once in a while instead of showing off the arm.

[Trowekamp]

This is really what is keeping Cappy from being a good pitcher to an elite pitcher... it is the tendency to start to nibble and not go right at each hitter... I can't think of an elite pitcher in the last 10 years outside of Tom Glavine that nibbles..

 

When he goes after hitters he gives up the occasional home run but is so much effective.

 

Plus considering he is pitching in Yellowstone tonight and his name is not the Wild Thing he probably can get away with throwing it underhand.

[TauPentaRei]

True.

 

Cut-off man hit = out

[Trowekamp]

Since it looks like we will see the Brewers bullpen shortly is there anybody who believe Sarfate can't be more effective than Lehr or Fernandez? He is only throwing a no-hitter tonight for Nashville.

[Team Canada]

RICKIE WHAT????

[TauPentaRei]

Cue token look of frustration from Robin

[PeaveyFury]

Collossal, idiotic, moronic mistake there. He could clearly see that that play wasn't going to beat the runner at 2nd and had all the time in the world to get the runner at first.

 

Really, really stupid.

[adambr2]

There's that glove at 2nd base that we've so come to know and love.

 

One more run and we might be too far in the hole to dig out of this one.

[Team Canada]

Phew. Way to take care of things yourself Cappy.

[PeaveyFury]

Thank goodness it didn't cost us a run... just 6 extra pitches for Cappy.

[getupgetouttaheregone]

Did the Crew hang out with some sailors last night after their win? They are sure making some dumb mistakes.

[adambr2]

Wow, according to Gameday, Bellhorn just gave us a huge break there, they had that pitch as easily Ball 4 high. Was it really that high?

 

Would be 4-0 if he took it and possibly even more damage.

 

3-0 is not insurmountable...come on, bats....

All the while walking 4 and hitting 3 batters. He's put on 7 in 6 innings with no hits given up.
