Capuano is still my nephew's favorite major league player ever since he got on his hands and knees and pulled a baseball from underneath a dumpster that had gotten away when we were playing catch at spring training. He came over with the ball and chatted for about 10 minutes. Then the next season at spring training, he came over, remembered us, asked my nephew about his tee ball team (which he remembered the name), and spent another 15 minutes chatting or so. Total class act. As far as my nephew having a professional athlete as a role-model, I'm not sure he can do better than Capuano. Therefore, I will be cheering for the Brewers to get the win, but I hope it's like 2-1 or so with Cappy pitching very well.

I have nothing to add aside from that this is an awesome story, and I now like Cappy even more than I already did.

That's a really neat story about your nephew and Chris Capuano. He always seemed like a class act when he was in Milwaukee, and you have to respect a guy that has come back from injuries like him. He's been a very good back end of the rotation guy throughout his career.

 

I'll be cheering for a solid outing from Capuano and a 15-0 Brewers win after he exits.

It rolled into a fenced in garbage area by one of there practice fields where Cappy was working out. My nephew, 5 yo at the time, started tearing up. I said don't worry buddy, I'll get you another ball. Cappy was standing inside the fence and saw what happened, said don't worry, I got it. And as he's on his hands and knees, stretching as far as his arm will go, all I'm thinking is "Please God, don't tear anything." At least he used his right arm.

Why on earth can't RR see fit to move Gamel and Lucroy up in the order??

 

Wait, I forgot, catchers hit 8th.

 

That still does not explain Gonzalez hitting in front of Gamel.

 

This looks better to me:

 

1.2B Rickie Weeks

2.CF Carlos Gomez

3.LF Ryan Braun

4.3B Aramis Ramirez

5.RF Corey Hart

6.1B Mat Gamel

7.C Jonathan Lucroy

8.SS Alex Gonzalez

9.P Zack Greinke

 

I'd even consider swapping out Ramirez and Hart...

I like that lineup but Roenicke's thinking is Gamel is a lefty so he can't hit lefties well. If he wants to go that route, I'd still do Lucroy 6th and Gonzo 8th.

This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.

Any lineup that has Gonzalez batting 7th and Gomez 8th would look good enough to me. The fact that RR sees fit to bat 2nd a guy with a projected OBP below .300 shows me he just doesn't get it. Yeh, he has the platoon advantage but so does most of the lineup.

wow, Greinke has thrown two clear strikes (on tv and pitch fx), including the 1-2 pitch to the 2nd hitter. Hart with a terrible route, but ump whiffed on a clear strike 3.

 

That too. Greinke getting zero breaks in his last two starts. Hopefully his luck turns around quickly here

Wow, Corey Hart making it interesting again. Did not look like it should've been that close to falling.
