Pitching matchups, lineups, and more after the jump.
No, I didn't mean a win. We saw that last night. What we haven't seen since 2007 is Chris Capuano pitching in the major leagues. We've heard a lot about a certain other pitcher tearing up the IL, but Capuano's been delivering a similar performance in the PCL. In his 4 starts with Nashville, he's given up 6 runs in 25 innings. Most of those runs were given up in his second start vs. Portland. He hasn't been walking very many batters this year. Hopefully he'll keep that up at the major league level. We also haven't seen Capuano get a major league win in a long time; let's see if the Brewers' offense can give him one.
Cappy's mound opponent tonight is Josh Johnson. If you'd like hope for Capuano's future career, you could do worse than look at what's happened to Johnson. Johnson also has had Tommy John surgery (in 2007) and came back to the majors in August 2008. He had a great 2009, pitching 209 innings last year with an ERA of 3.23 and an FIP of 3.06; he's living up to the promise shown in his 2006 season. His 2010 performance makes him the ace of the Marlins' staff for now. In his last start against the Brewers on June 4th of last year, he gave up 2 runs in 7 innings on 5 hits and a walk and hit a home run off Dave Bush. I guess the Brewers aren't the only team out there with a hard-hitting ace.
Lineups!

Ball deflected off Lucroy
Lucroy chased it down and knocked it into the dugout. Umpires discussed whether the runner got one base or two. Decided on one base.

I was always a big fan of his and thought he was a hard worker. I am hoping for the best for him
I think the Brewers got a break since Lucroy knocked the ball into the dugout
Rule 7.05(h) says each runner may advance:
(h) One base, if a ball, pitched to the batter, or thrown by the pitcher from his position on the pitcher’s plate to a base to catch a runner, goes into a stand or a bench, or over or through a field fence or backstop. The ball is dead;
APPROVED RULING: When a wild pitch or passed ball goes through or by the catcher, or deflects off the catcher, and goes directly into the dugout, stands, above the break, or any area where the ball is dead, the awarding of bases shall be one base. One base shall also be awarded if the pitcher while in contact with the rubber, throws to a base, and the throw goes directly into the stands or into any area where the ball is dead.
If, however, the pitched or thrown ball goes through or by the catcher or through the fielder, and remains on the playing field, and is subsequently kicked or deflected into the dugout, stands or other area where the ball is dead, the awarding of bases shall be two bases from position of runners at the time of the pitch or throw.

Sorry Brian/Rock
If the ability exists to make the calls 100% correct, why settle for 99%, especially when it decides the game?
The calls will never be 100% correct. There's no way to have instant replay for every single
questionable call. The games would take forever.

I’ve grown tired of the contrarian viewpoint on this. I originally wasn’t a fan of replay, but after listening to Macha’s diatribe and now Rock’s insistence that replay be left out of the game, I’m fully in favor of it.

Part of it definitely came due to the home run ball, but I wonder if a bit of it was from Braun at third for a lefty pitcher. I’ve been tempted to go through game logs and check how many of his errors came in cappy games.
Braun errors in capuano games where R>ER
8/14 – Rolen E5/attempted forceout (Ground Ball); Eckstein Scores; Pujols Scores/No RBI; Ludwick to 2B
7/3 – Sanchez reached on E5 (Ground Ball to Weak 3B); Davis to 3B; Bautista to 2B
