Sorry for cutting off the RBS, server went down for maintenance so I ran a few errands.

here's hopint that capellan's got some semblance of control with his breaking stuff today.

[Loopee]

Anybody else ever get the impression that Daron Sutton has a mancrush on Craig Counsell?

[Ando Calrissian]

not so much, but he did just make that comment about liking counsell's "smart" stolen bases.

[squarepusher]

[ Heresy to the church of 3TO? ]

 

Technically yes, but hopefully it's one more nail into the coffin of Wes Helms. Sometimes the ends justify the means. Russell knows that. He's very wise.

[Ando Calrissian]

ugh. common jose. keep the ball down. hit your spots. feel me willing you to success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[batman]

It is incredibly disturbing that Craig Counsell and Royce Clayton form the double-play combo and hit 1st and 2nd for the Diamondbacks. I guess it's unfortunate they couldn't acquire EY and Lenny Harris, too, or they'd have the complete set.

 

Daron Sutton has a mancrush on every catcher in baseball. If Craig Counsell was a catcher, he'd have to file a restraining order... I don't think Daron can come within 100 yards of Jason Kendall or Paul LoDuca, actually.

Well, at least he's got options remaining.

[AJAY]

Is it just me or has Capellan not really looked that impressive this spring?

[Loopee]

If only someone would teach him a cutter. He'd be invincible.

[Ando Calrissian]

he's been "ok." that's about it. doesn't he really only have two pitches that he works with right now?

[tomwopat]

well, he can get the pitcher out trying to bunt on all the way, but surrenders a double to craig consell.

 

at least his bender sounds like it's better.

[AJAY]

It's just getting uglier for Capellan. But I hope they let him pitch so he can work through some of this.

[JohnBriggs12]

I think expecations were a little too high for a guy who has just about 100 innings above A ball.

 

Had he been ready to pitch as a major league starter, I doubt the Braves would have let him go.

 

He'll be fine. Let him get experience at Nashville.

[clancyphile]

Capellan's got stuff, it's just inconsistent.

 

Sometimes he just can't be hit, sometime he hangs a curve to Troy Glaus.

[Loopee]

On my 10th try I finally got Daron to call Russell "the Muscle" Branyan.

 

My day is complete, time to crack open a green beer.

 

My mission tomorrow is to get him to say Russell the Muscle Branyan, Pope of the church of 3TO.

[wickedheat]

Call me ignorant...what are we talking about with this "3TO" ?

[AJAY]

3 hits for Counsell today?

 

Is that a career high?

[squarepusher]

3TO = 3 true outcomes

 

www.baseballprospectus.co...icleid=724

[AJAY]

Three True Outcomes for Branyan. . .

 

1) Strikeout

2) Walk

3) Tape-measure homerun that still hasn't landed yet. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[wickedheat]

Thanks for the explanation Square.

 

Hmm, me likey the 3TO. Maybe that's because I prefer Branyan 5-to-1 over the leading "Yost" brand 3rd-baseman, Mr. Helms. Then again, that seems to be the popular choice among Brewerfan-ites.

[TheOtherDean]

Must have been an incredible play by Hardy to be both "6" and "5" http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Loopee]

Whoops.

 

Daron just mentioned Brewerfan.net btw.

[squarepusher]

What did he say?
