8/14/2007: Cardinals (Wells) vs. Brewers (Capuano) 7:25 CT - Tribute to the great memories of Rafael Roque IGT

Score in the 1st and then fall asleep. This is an aggravating pattern by the Brewers offense.

[Ennder]

Ug, Marmol just K'd back to back Reds with the bases loaded. Add that to our lead change and the momentum just shifted.

[dlk9s]

Can we move back to the A.L. so Braun can DH?

 

Wait...facing A.L. lineups would just mean our starting pitchers would only make it through 3 innings, so scratch that idea.

[packfan79]

Wow another craptastic outing from Cappy the guy has been awful for a year and a half do we really have nobody better?

[JoeH33]

Can this team ever hold a lead? This is beyond frustrating.

[bobskube]

Im sick of being right again.

 

I knew this inning was trouble and when Ned comes in...forget about it.

 

This is the first time I have said this...but I give Cappy one more start against the Reds and if he fails, he should go to the pen. Yes Braun, made the error, but Capuano dug his own grave before that.

[thunderbat30]

I HATE YOU, CHRIS CAPUANO.

That should have been outs 2 and 3 right there, I put that blame right on Braun. Capuano got the grounder, he did his job.

My statement still stands, he's a terrible pitcher to be trotting out there every five days.

 

The problem is there is noone to replace him. Even if Sheets comes back, they will push Gallardo to the BP. They want to limit Parra's IP so he's not an option either. Cappy will be in the rotation until the end of the year.

 

Would you rather have David Wells than Cappy?

[EinhornIsFinkle]

Has Braun won or lost more games for us?

[phatmatt1215]

Why in the world can't Cappy go more than 5-6 innings lately? It seems like he craps out right about now EVERY time the last two months or so. I think we are in DEEP dog do-do.

[TheMCG]

oh lord

[cruiserx43]

Wow this game got out of hand in a hurry.

[JET15]

Braun could have made at least an out if not turned the DP.

 

[Parra walks in a run] Our pitching is melting down

[SlideBernieSlide]

Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.

[thablingster]

Walking in a run, yay. We're awesome. The retro uniforms don't make this any easier to watch, either.

[TGJforPrez]

Has anyone else wondered if Mike Maddox has lost his magic?

 

And what does Castro tell those guys out in the bullpen? It amazes me how they cant throw strikes

[PeaveyFury]

You can ask the same question of the other 4 members of the rotation as well.....

[Brewcrewin07]

And, there it is....a wonderful 4 pitch bases loaded walk. Now the lead is two, the Brewers offense never adds on runs. This team has absolutely NO killer instinct. Houston we have a problem.

[brewerjamie15]

I wonder what it's like for Cappy to go back into the dugout knowing he sucks. What do hid teammates say to him?

"Lots of guys can't win a three month stretch. It's cool dude."

[TheMCG]

Maddux's mound visits have almost constantly been accompanied by a pitcher lobbing meatballs over the middle of the plate this season. It's been astonishing.

[lumberrule]

Capuano can't go more than 5 to 6 innings on a regular basis because he's just not that good. He has no confidence in his pitches...otherwise, you wouldn't see him having to nibble for the corner on every single pitch.

 

If the Brewers are serious about making a playoff run, Capuano needs to be removed from the rotation. Not just from a baseball standpoint, but from a team confidence standpoint...I think this club doesn't have much confidence in him.

[brewerjamie15]

Maybe I outta go back to my hiatus.

[TheMCG]

This team disgusts me.

[Brewcrewin07]

Kip Freaking Wells?? beating you with the arm and the bat?? I'm calling my shot now...The Cardinals will win this division. The Brewers certainly don't want it.

[SlideBernieSlide]

The bigger problem is St. Louis. They looked poised for something big over the next 40 games. Players are getting hot and pitching is finally finding itself.

[phatmatt1215]

Trade Crappy to someone in the Northern league for a jock strap. What in the heck is his stinking problem?
