5/10/06 Brewers (Capuano) @ Padres (Park), 9:05 PM CST

Just for the record, that was NOT a catch by in right field. So instead of having no outs and runners on 1st and 2nd, there are two outs and nobody on.

 

And to add insult to injury, Koskie slaps a single with two outs.

 

Definitely not the Brewers night.

 

I'm not sure which stadium I hate more, Minute Maid or Petco.

[jloos19]

Nice contact on a straight fastball on 3-2 Brady. This game has angered me enough.

[adambr2]

Go figure, we get nothing.

 

Stupid ump.

[Trowekamp]

Thanks for saving the bullpen Brady.. if you get on Cappy gets pinch hit for... always two steps ahead of everybody else..

[jloos19]

What was that Ernie from Sesame Street look-a-like thing in the background while Cappy was pitching? Was that the Padres' mascot?

[Trowekamp]

So odds on who pinch hits to lead off next inning:

 

Moeller 1 million : 1

Gross 10 :1

Hardy 4:1

Cirillo 6:5

[adambr2]

Yeah, I'd say Cirillo.

[adambr2]

Ah it's Hardy.

 

Technically another quality outing for Capuano. Unfortunately, the run support was lacking today, in the sense that there wasn't any.

But an Ace pitcher wills his team to score.

[jloos19]

I hate not scoring... in baseball and in life.

[Trowekamp]

Yeah.. it is great when this is considered a "bad" outing.. of course they need to change the quality start rules for Petco to be 8 innings less than 2 runs..

 

I mean Chan Ho Park is throwing a shutout.. i need to break out my wool socks since something must be freezing over..

Huh?

[mothershipconnection]

...and the Brewers once again make a scrub pitcher look dominant. No runs vs. Park is an absolute embarassment.

[adambr2]

Getting shut out for the 4th time this season already would be unacceptable as well.

 

I hate to bring up the "Fire Wynegar" ideas again, but this inconsistency is just embarrassing. I'd much rather have an offense that put up 5-6 runs most nights than one that can put up 12 on any given night and then get shutout the next by any given scrub. Sometimes you have to look past how many runs we are actually scoring and look at the efficiency of these runs.

[Trowekamp]

Think about it.. going from pitching in the Ballpark in Arlington to Petco must be like going to dinner for the first time at your girlfriend's parents only to find out her dad is Hugh Hefner and dinner is at the Playboy mansion.

Obviously.

[chuckcrim]

When we have runners in scoring position, who do you truly believe can get those runs in??? I can't think of more than 2, maybe 3 guys. The inconsistency of certain players and poor 2 strike approaches are driving me insane. Weeks and Hardy are really struggling as of late. We're really going to miss Damian Miller's bat.

Apparently it's odd yet clever analogy night here in the IGT...

[Trowekamp]

I agree that is frustrating but you can kind of expect it with such a young team..

 

On the positive side they are second in the NL in batting and first in home runs and Clark, Hardy, Jenkins, and Weeks have not gotten hot yet..

 

I was going to add Moeller in there but I wanted to be taken seriously.

[chuckcrim]

Once they get hot, the Lee's, Fielder's and Miller's will probably cool off.

[Trowekamp]

Since I was already going off on Moeller don't you think Ned has to start him on Pink Bat Day?

 

I mean if a player ever fit a promotion..

 

And yes I think it is a great promotion and while the reason for it is serious the potential jokes are endless.

[xisxisxis]

Does JDLR only pitch well when the Brewers are losing?

[adambr2]

Innings like that are the reason that the Brewers just don't want to quite yet give up on De La Rosa.

[clancyphile]

Can't blame the Crew for wanting him around.

[jloos19]

Wow, JDLR throwing strikes is like going to a party and girls willingly flashing you.

(OK, those aren't remotely close on the awesome scale, but you get my point.)

(And no, I've never been to a party like that, but the thought is what keeps me going every day.)
