04/13/05 - Pirates (Fogg) @ Brewers (Capuano), 12:05 PM CT

[heeptom]

We've had real trouble completing double plays

early this season. I know that was a slow

roller but it does seem like a dominant theme.

Hopefully they will prove me wrong and get

one here and get out of this inning.

[BigGunToddDunn]

I've got the radio on. How did we not get the DP?

[heeptom]

I also have the radio, so Im not sure.

 

 

Come on Cappy, get out of this without

another run.

[ja002h]

Sounded like it was pretty slow grounder.

[SlideBernieSlide]

You just knew walking the pitcher was going to come back and haunt Cappie. Throwing a lot of pitches in this inning.

[clancyphile]

And ANOTHER DP opportunity not converted.

 

UGH.

[bucksman4]

Who cares about how many pitches he's thrown....I care about how many RUNS he's going to give up!!!! Isn't that what having Obermueller and Jorge De La Rosa is for??? STOP THE DAMN WALKS TO LEAD OFF THE INNING...ESPECIALLY TO THE FRICKIN PITCHER!!!

[ja002h]

What is their deal?

[Ennder]

Its hard to blame this on Capuano since with a good SS we'd have 6 outs instead of 2 outs right now.

[bork]

Maybe they need to start cutting that infield grass shorter.

[clancyphile]

Can't turn the DP. What is going WRONG here? This is a pattern.

 

If Spivey was going to have these problems, why not deal him and just put Rickie Weeks in? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[heeptom]

Can't blame Hall for the leadoff walk to the pitcher that

got it all started.

[clancyphile]

Two words: Artificial turf.

[squarepusher]

The Hurricane would have been all over these double plays.

[clancyphile]

No, but to be honest, I can see why they decided to go with JJ at short.

[homer]

Capuano is not dealing.

 

 

Clancy,

As many times as turf would help the Brewers, it would hurt them just as much.

[heeptom]

FINALLY

Alright, lets get some runs!

[bucksman4]

LETS GET SOME RUNS!!!! What happened to the Brewers team that put up 10 and 9 against the Pirates to start the season???

[ja002h]

If we could get .25 runs for every warning track flyball...

[clancyphile]

homer

 

Maybe, but with the trouble they've had with the grass surface, I think turf is a better option at this point.

[950opsLHcatcher]

Maybe instead of turf, they should just go with concrete. And have little protruding spikes placed sporadically throughout the field to keep it interesting.

[heeptom]

In my opinion baseball should not

be played on turf.

[squarepusher]

I think we're beating a dead caballo here.

[EdgarDiazRocks]

Allright I have switched over from the Cubs getting thrashed, we're up like 7 runs right?

[950opsLHcatcher]

So that's how you turn a double play.
