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.
