Notes from yesterday:
Milwaukee's Chris Capuano failed to win yet another start. Looking at his season numbers, he is striking out 8.1 per nine versus 7.1 last year. However, his WHIP is up 20% to 1.51 versus last year's 1.25.
This is mainly attributed to a gigantic increase in walks. He has already surpassed last season' total of 47 in just 113 IP. In 2006, he pitched 221.1 innings. He walked 1.95 per 9 IP in 2005. That is up to 3.45 this year. If his 2007 rate was the same as his 2006 one, he'd have walked only 27 with a subsequent WHIP of just 1.34.
Determine why Capuano is walking so many, and his troubles will be solved.
