2010-06-03 Brewers (Capuano) at Marlins (Johnson), 6:10 PM CDT [Cappy's Return, Brewers lose, 3-2]

[crewcrazy]

If the Brewers end up losing to Josh Johnson, I'm sure that tidbit will make it into Haudricourt's lede for his story. He was the main one that shoved the streak down everyone's throats and made it a bigger deal than it really was, making it seem like every loss was Capuano's fault.

[uwisfan]

jeez how crappy is that outfield

[bullox]

The streak wasn't just starts, it was Capuano appearances.

[TheCrew07]

It's weird to be able to hear so much sound from the field... like for example right there when Fielder got hit by the pitch and was swearing.

[jjkoestler]

Gotta keep that change down. Cappy looks good otherwise.

"Most changeups go away from a lefty."

Seriously, how was this guy a catcher?

I just messaged obsessedwithbrewcrew and encouraged him to shout something Brewerfan-esque, since we'd probably hear him. I don't know if he has a mobile device at the game, though.

[thablingster]

There is some of that, ahem, "good defense" Capuano was talking about that we have up here.

[Gobias Industries]

Thank god he makes up for his defense with his bat!! /blue

[pete]

Get well Eric Farris.

[brains and braun]

The Brewers make me sad.

[brewmann04]

No worries we have Lawrie getting ready to move take Weeks Spot

[crewcrazy]

You can blame Rickie for Capuano not getting out of that inning, but he wasn't exactly sharp tonight, either. Good job by Loe getting out of the bases loaded jam, though. That sinker is nasty (as long as the Marlins keep flailing at it).

[Funketown]

No worries we have Lawrie getting ready to move take Weeks Spot

Am I the only one here that is really starting to worry about Lawrie? I know he's only 20, but he has really struggled in Huntsville.

[pete]

Loe looks positively Sheets like at the plate.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Funketown...no you aren't the only one. Bad attitude & bad stats...but he may not be the worst first draft pick in the last two years.

Lawrie's glove isn't great either.

 

We did just let a guy get away today though that could have taken his spot (heether)

[Funketown]

The Marlins' AT&T trivia question was "Who are the only two Brewers to start an All-Star game". The answer was Robin Yount and Ryan Braun. I guess they've forgotten about Sheets as well.

 

These Marlins announcers are brutal. One just convinced the other that both leagues of the NPB use the DH.

And Fielder, and Burnitz as an injury replacement.

[Gobias Industries]

2 mistake fastballs to Weeks in that at-bat, and he misses both of him.

 

He's finished. Hasn't turned on a inside fastball on the black or just off the plate for a hit all year.

A .262/.332/.437/.769 line from the second youngest player in AA is fine.

 

 

[AdvantageSchneider]

Rickie's got 8 HR. Have they all been opposite field jobs?

 

He missed a lot of time last year, I think I'd give him more than 2 months before I wrote him off.

[pete]

Marlins need gameday in the dugout. It wasn't a strike.

[pete]

Johnson a little under 100 pitches so probably one more inning.

No, but he's actually done a decent job at going the other way this year. He's pulled homeruns down the line, but those have been on pitches right down the middle. Nearly every player in the big leagues at least hits those hard.

 

But he's like a leaky old ship, fix one hole and another's already started.
