7/6 Cubs (Maddux) @ Brewers (Capuano) 7:05 PM WCIU

[Irrelevant Dude]

Good thing Dusty loaded the lineup with righties. It's paying off like it always does.

 

Would you rather have Jones in there flailing away?

The way he's been hitting lately, I wouldn't mind to see him in the lineup even against lefties. But I'd definitely prefer to see Walker over Neifi.

[Fred Hornkohl]

why the hell is dust for brains putting perez 2nd?

 

It's a mystery !

Maddux's GO-FO ratio so far is 9-1. :shock:

[Irrelevant Dude]

Are both teams anxious to get to the All-Star break or what?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Wonderful. 25 pitches for Capuano. Nice going, Cubs.

 

Hey now, they're making him work more.

 

After 1, he was on pace for a 63-pitch CG.

After 2, he was on pace for a 72-pitch CG.

Now, he's on pace for a 75-pitch CG.

 

progress

 

After 4, Capuano was on pace for a 99-pitch CG. :shock:

[E.J.]

Haha. Brewers' announcers: "We got to get these stats and thoughts in quickly. These innings are breezing along."

 

Welcome to a Cub fan's life.

[coldsteel]

wow Maddux is getting it done in his Brewers' audition.

[Irrelevant Dude]

What the heck is with these camera angles

What, you mean the camera panning to right field looking for the fly ball that Fielder caught at the pitcher's mound? Seemed perfectly normal to me. :)

Yeah, I am barely watching the game, as I normally do now, and everytime I look up the camera is panning the OF stands and I think its a HR

[cubweiser03]

Capuano. Is this like 38 scoreless innings from him against the Cubs. Jeez.

[otis89]

OK. Here's where the Brewers score the winning run.

[texascub]

What's with the Cubs pitching out with a runner on 3rd?

[otis89]

Anticipating the squeeze?

[E.J.]

Weeks with an rbi double. 1-0 Brewers. Go Brewers!!

[otis89]

OK. Here's where the Brewers score the winning run.

 

Well, they scored. Most likely it will be the winning run.

[texascub]

For anyone watching the game, do you think the Cubs are trying to set up the DP or has Maddux's control slipped in this AB?

[DiamondMind]

Is anyone listening to the radio? Santo is *really* irritated.

 

"Why does every opposing pitcher look like Cy Young against us?"

To be fair, Capuano is pretty friggin' good.

[DiamondMind]

I bet C. Lee hits a tater here.

[Sammy Sofa]

Damn, man, what the funk happened? Maddux was cruising through the first four...
