SBNation coverage
One can complain about the Brewers offense tonight but the pitching was better than expected. Chris Capuano, sadly, was involved in a 23rd consecutive loss and was pulled with 2 outs in the 4th. The fact that he pitched in the major leagues at all should be commended. He's come back from a lot and this wasn't the best pitching matchup for his return. Capuano's downfall tonight was doubles; he gave up 4. Kameron Loe, Zach Braddock, and Trevor Hoffman(!) prevented any more runs from scoring.
Tonight's first run was scored by Jonathan Lucroy in a show of good old station-to-station, sacrificing play. The second run was scored in a burst of ninth-inning rally. The Brewers left 13 runners on base tonight.

I feel pretty good about the game
Anytime you can get within one run and put runners in scoring position with a chance for your best player to win it, you’ve done enough from a strategic standpoint.
Well, there's two parts of the game to watch imo
There’s the manager’s chess game, and there’s the performance on the field. Getting your best players in position to win – with men in scoring position and Braun & Fielder batting, you’ve given your team the best chance to win – means you won the chess game. The players didn’t produce though, so we lose the ballgame. That’s fine.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you get Macha’d. Today we lost.
Nationally televised weekend
With the squishier part of our rotation. This could be interesting/depressing.
Why did Cappy get pulled?
(I had a softball game)
omg baserunners
that’s pretty much it, he walked Coghlan and he had the pitch counter up to 80, and couldn’t manage to make out #3.
You also forgot to mention...
That if Weeks didn’t commit that error on a chopper to 2B, Cappy likely finishes the inning.
Weeks
Is Rickie no longer a base stealer? His numbers look bad the last two years, but is it Macha holding him back or has he gotten slow.
In the 9th inning with C.C. at the plate, it seems like a steal would have helped.
what difference would that have made?
he wasn’t the tying run, and he scored. yeah, it may have made the DP less probable, but he may have been caught stealing as well. why risk it?

Right, if you need 2 runs, and you're only the first run, you should not be risky on the basepaths.
In order to tie the game, CC, Braun, or Prince has to score. If that happens, Rickie scores in the process.

I think the less we
ask of Weeks the better

Did Cappy
dislocate his rib cage in that picture? His spine? or does he just have really huge tracts of land?

Rec'd for
“huge tracks on land.”
My goodness.

Well..
at least the wife is happy now that her Cappy crush is being full filled again.. Other than that what a miserable season for us as Brauny said.
