Piss poor managing. Flat-out awful. Everything I want to say has already been said. But, I need to say this. Why the hate on Cappy? Seriously. In the 18 or so appearances since his 5-0 start, he's had maybe 3-4 completely awful and forgettable starts mixed in with a bunch of passable and even a few excellent starts (Cincinnati). Not to mention the run support he receives is by far the worst on the team and maybe of any Brewer pitcher in the past few years. In his first 7 starts (resulting in a 5-0 record) Capuano was given a total of 40 runs (not all 40 were scored while he was in the game, this is just the final from each game added up). If you do the math, that's 6 runs (rounded up from 5.7) per game. In his last 18 appearances he has been handed a total of 55 runs (again, not all were scored while he was in the game, so tonight he was actually handed 0 runs while in, but I included all 4). Do the math again and that's an embarrassing 3 runs (rounded down from 3.05) per. I mean, who would you rather have starting, Vargas or Capuano? Based on stuff alone I go with Cappy. But if you add all other factors in, you would probably go with Vargas because he gets so much run support that when he gave up 6 runs in less than an inning, he got the no decision, and guess who got the loss? Capuano. My ideal rotation would be (for next year): 1. Sheets 2. Gallardo 3. Bush 4. Capuano 5. Parra Vargas is completely awful in my opinion and when Suppan is on he's golden, but he's rarely "on". Anyways, I'm done. A pretty lengthy first post.
