7/01/2006 Brewers (Capuano) @ Twins (Silva) 6:10pm CDT

[LV Brewer Fan]

FutureBrewer,

 

Fox Sports North is doing Operation Home Base this week, with tonight the players wearing hats representing the 4 branches of military services. During the Twins broadcast (on Directv) there are no commercials they are doing links between soldiers in Iraq and there families. A big hats off to the Twins organization and FSN for what they are doing this entire week. A total class move IMO.

 

The Milwaukee Brewers Bullpen, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory on a nightly basis!

With a bullpen this bad, I think you can pretty much guarantee that carlos is 110% gone. How can we possibly not get try to get pitching help. Carlos could hit 2 bombs a night and we could hang 7 or 8 runs up every game and we would still struggle to reach 500 with this staff.

[adambr2]

Well, get ready to head into the Cincy series 3 games back under .500.

[PeaveyFury]

The same can be said for Jenkins, Miller, Clark.

 

Miller is red hot right now.

I don't know what our record will be when we go to Cincy later in July but I do know we'll be 40-43 going back to Miller Park to play the Reds Monday.

RALLY TIME!!!

[badgerfan.tgf]

Since last Sunday, I think the pen has allowed at least 2 runs to score in every game except Monday. I feel like we're back to the beginning of the year. Remember how bad the pitching was in late May?

[mastershake76]

Prince, do not hit a home run here.

[adamb100]

GIDP.

Or not.

[mastershake76]

mmm....Prince is immune to reverse mojo I guess. Noted for the future.

[adamb100]

I never want to remember this game.

 

7-10 FINAL

[badgerfan.tgf]

I'm not gonna say the sky is falling, but with tomorrow's bad matchup followed by the Reds in town (and of course we catch their best pitchers) we're looking at being at least 4 games under .500 going into the last series with Chicago. And the way our pen is throwing, I don't know how we're gonna do. Hopefully once we get back to playing against the AAA, I mean National League, things will get easier for our guys.

[mastershake76]

well it's gonna be a while before we get another chance to fail to get over 500... with tomorrow's impending loss we'll be 40-43, and I don't like the looks of the cincy offense vs. our pitching staff. Ugh. All good vibes from the cubs series have officially evaporated.

TRADE CARLOS!

[badgerfan.tgf]

17 hits for the Twins?!?! Ouch.

 

I guess in the picture, I hope tonight was just a bad night for Cappy and that he really isn't hurting and pitching through pain.

That's actually a good point. We are in fact playing a real team at the moment. After tomorrow, with the possible exception of a few games against the Cardinals, we won't have to do that the rest of the season.

 

Its funny, the Twins would probably win any division in the NL and they can't gain an inch in their own.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

So is it possible that we saw any chance of Cappy or T-Bow making the All-Star game vanish tonight?

 

I've been to 7 Brewers games this year. 3 in Milwaukee...2 in Minneapolis....one in NY...and one in LA and we are 1-6. I bet I have seen 150 Brewers games in my life and I would bet that we are 50-100 in those games. I need to stop attending.

Well considering that is pretty much in line with their winning % over the past however many years, I agree you should probably stop attending - not because you are bad luck, but because the Brewers are bad!

[thablingster]

The Twins are smokin' hot, I think that is what this one comes down to.

 

It's unfortunate going to Bow didn't work. It was the right move (considering Turnbow has probably been the best guy other than Shouse in the pen) based on the stats (Cuddyer vs. RHP < Morneau vs. LHP) where your other options are to walk Cuddyer with the base open and have Shouse face Morneau or bring in Wise to face Cuddyer. It's too bad, but tomorrow is a new day.

[brewmann04]

Enough with all the excuses for us losing We ran into a hot team or it just was bad luck.

This team is not a contender only a 500 ballclub and i will be glad if Melvin can work out the Best trade he can for Lee.

[RWeeksUp2Bat23]

Rickie has not had a single error in one exact month! Just outstanding play in the field lately.

 

Albeit minus the wind blown double in Wrigley Field against a horrid and swirling wind and this SportsTurf in between hop at the Metrodome with all the seams and skipping the ball does on that surface.

 

Excuses? No...just inexperience. He is ok...

 

Two very tough places to play for a young player to field let alone a veteran player with the 'elements' to deal with. Yes it is part of baseball but you go out there and do it...and come back to me...

 

Both plays could have ended the inning I believe as well...He is working hard and looks very smooth and very natural in the field, not lost and pressing like he did early on.
