Sure seems like Prince has had an awfully rough June. Might it be that he has gotten away from pure hitting and trying to be more of the big slugger that everyone expected him to be? Him picking up some additional HR's have been nice, but I wish he'd go back to what he was doing.

blah

[adambr2]

Well, we still strand leadoff doubles and runners on 3rd with less than 2 outs with the best of them.

[AJAY]

Maddux is the last pitcher you want to see when you have a runner at third with less than two outs. He almost always gets hitters to chase something out of the zone.

[davemakovec]

He also gets strikes out of the zone. I logged on late to see that he got Rickie Weeks and Bill Hall on successive (called) strike-outs. Funny that.

 

Hitters have to chase balls out of the zone because Maddux's strike zone extends a few extra inches on the bottom half.

[adambr2]

I'm going to feel awfully stupid if I jinx Cappy here and he gives up 4 next inning, but does anyone know offhand what the record is for quality starts in a season? I imagine they haven't always kept track of that and I don't know if it is even a real "stat", but I'm just curious.

 

EDIT: Then he, of all people, walks the pitcher. Maybe I DID jinx him.

[JoeH33]

This has to be the best game of Nefi's career.

[jloos19]

How is Neifi Perez 3 for 3? I will never speak negatively of an opposing player before a game ever again.

By the way, a certain pitcher making his Huntsville debut tonight is DEALING.

Maybe we should stop making fun of Neifi Perez. 3 for 3. Geez...

[adambr2]

You cannot stop Naifi Perez, you can only hope to contain him. Urggh..

[steve267268]

Who let Hudini in here?

[adambr2]

Capuano was unfazed by that jam. Way to go!

I've been keeping track of him too. What a debut! And nice to see Braun with a homerun. Nice job by Capuano getting out of the jam.

PRINCE!!

[undertow67]

Prince! Hits number 15 to center. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[adambr2]

Only 739 shy of the all-time record for Prince. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[jloos19]

Prince got a hold of that one, I love it!

[steve267268]

So, Prince is now on pace for about 30 homers and Carlos is on pace for 50.

 

Wonderful... we're the Texas Rangers.

[adamb100]
