This is pretty amazing

Brewers have lost the last 19 times Capuano has started a game for them. Just saw that on the ESPN scroll

How is that possible?

I'm guessing he hasn't found a way to take his roids without getting caught...

lol - j/k... he is a good fade that's for sure.

That beign said, I can't bet the buckos...

he is as due as they come!!!

Not only that, but have lost the last 23 games he's appeared in overall

Next lowest in MLB history is 16 from what I'm seeing. He should be mentioned with Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak

Go Capuano

Funny thing is they won the previous 7 starts he had before this streak

Here is the info I located on this.

Chris Capuano started the 2007 season 5-0 with a 2.31 ERA. The Brewers won all of his first seven starts. In 39 innings, Capuano struck out 31 and only walked 13 and only allowed two home runs. It was part of an excellent beginning to a season which saw the Brewers jump out to a Central Division lead of as many as eight games.

That division lead wasn’t to last, nor was Capuano’s fast start. The Brewers would finish 2 games behind the Cubs and Capuano would finish the season with a 5-12 record, and a 5.10 ERA and 4.45 FIP. Obviously, this means the Capuano didn’t earn a “win” after his fantastic start, but what happened to Capuano was more than merely going 22 appearances and 18 starts without a win.

In fact, the Brewers lost all 22 games in which Capuano appeared. If we include his only 2010 start, against the Marlins on Thursday, the Brewers have lost in each of Capuano’s last 19 starts and last 23 appearances. The problems with crediting pitchers with wins and losses based on how the whole team performs are copious, but at the same time, Capuano really did not pitch well over this time period. He had a 6.08 ERA in 111 innings. He struck out 101 and allowed 41 walks, which isn’t great but also shouldn’t lead to a historically long loss streak. What killed Capuano was the home run ball – he allowed 18 over this stretch, or 1.46 every nine innings.

Even pitchers with a 6.08 ERA manage to win games, though. Adam Eaton was 10-10 in 2007 despite a 6.29 ERA. Braden Looper won 14 games last season. What doomed Capuano was criminally low run support. The Brewers gave Capuano an average run support of 2.09 runs in those games, scoring over 3 runs only three times and never scoring more than 5. The 2007 Brewers averaged 4.94 runs per game. Capuano’s streak was the result of a perfect storm of pitching poorly and getting no run support.
