Stat of the day re: Capuano

[UMFan83]

Capuano's 2006 ERA: 3.21

Capuano's 2006 non-Cub ERA: 4.02

[Derwood]

To be fair, the Cubs didn't have a lefty batting practice pitcher for the first 2 Capuano starts.

Cap absolutely PWNS the Cubs :evil:

[Hacking Out Machine]

Well...at least they made him break a sweat...was it a 91 pitch complete game tonight?

[Geech]

Any lefty pitcher in the NL Central should bascially be discounted from any award considerations like the Cy Young or Rolaids Reliever or whatever.

91 pitches? Now that is the stat of the day.

[oldstyle81]

has 2 complete game shutouts

 

both against the cubs

 

wouldve had 3 if wasant hit by line drive just over a week ago

[Brian]

I'm gonna assume Doug Davis has an even more drastic gap between actual ERA and ERA - Cubs.

And it didn't really matter much in Capuano's third start.

You're way off -- it was 97. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I viewed that as a sort of sarcastic comment from Maddux, who I believe thinks Dusty and his hit squad are pathetic.

That does make sense, as Maddux appears to be the sarcastic sort. I'm hoping that he wasn't falling into the excuses trap...

The most frustrating aspect of his success vs. the Cubs is its same MO, inside for show, outside for the out. As a matter of fact, that's been the MO for every LHP the Cubs have faced this season, what exactly does Gene Clines do?
