Carp

Could be the lift the team needs. I hope we aint rushing him back too early though.

exactly

I’m both elated and nervous. It’s good that he’s healthy enough for them to even consider it, but it’s terrible that we need him at all….

by nota bene on Jul 26, 2008 7:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

If he's on a pitch count, and they're careful with him, I don't see what hte harm could be

What is he going to do? Give up more runs than Boggs would?

There is a difference I think

between a rehab start and a ML start. Even on a pitch count. When he gets his competitive juices flowing he might not be as cautious as he would be in Memphis.

I agree with the elated + nervous consensus!!

It's no coincidence that Carps start is the day before the deadline

but even if Carp goes out and pitches well, we still have a terrible bullpen and an incredibly inconsistent offense.

well he's a country boy and

he was working on a tractor or old car of his and he was messing with the wiring and he grabbed the ground wire or something and electrocuted himself pretty severely. anyways, at the time he had some lingering scar tissue and was having trouble with it in his pitching shoulder. after the incident he said he was fine and we’ve all seen the results -game 6 2007. just wondering if i were mulder if i would consider something like that at this point.

Pinero on the mound is fitting..he has been this years poor luck guy more than once yet doesnt have the appologists reyes has. He has a ton of ND…poor run support most of the time…He has pitched better than his record..maybe if his name was different he’d get more love.

I compared Piniero favorably to Jeff Suppan when we extended him, but he’s never pitched a 1-hitter like Reyes has and doesn’t have the strikeout ability. If Reyes had turned out to be what was expected of him, he would have been a far, far better pitcher than the sole survivor of planet Krypton.

but i was refering to his lack of run support..and true reyes has talent..which we saw one in every 20 starts? noone has pointed out that joel gets lil runs cept for tonight..he is too pricey thats true.

Won’t hear me complaining about his W-L record. His strikeout rate this year is dangerously low is the problem. Can’t expect all the contact he’s allowing to find gloves. All those hits are what gets his pitch count up and keeps him from going deep into games.

by liam on Jul 26, 2008 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

agreed

just saying a rey had the same issues with going deep..and run support.. talent they are not comparable..cause we saw what a rey could do..maybe a change will do him well.. stop thinking and just throw..

or maybe if he wasn't a crappy pitcher

at least Reyes was cheap. Pineiro and his 47 Ks in 93 innings don’t get a lot of sympathy. He’s not been particularly unlucky (BABIP might be a touch high but his HR/FB rate is low).

He was moved to first to put off the need for surgery. He was playing left for a few weeks with instructions not to throw the ball in, just to get him in the lineup (had to give Tino a chance to get his act together, of course).

He was playing through some pretty bad pain late last year and said that he wouldn’t do it again, that’s why the chatter.

not sure about that

when you start you never know if he’ll get run support or not. out of the pen, you have better control of putting him situations where he can make a difference for winning vs. losing. plus, it’s not like we have tremendous quality in the pen. may be overworked, but that doesn’‘t mean less work will you a better pitcher. toss-up to me

Not sure why he was leaving the door open for Wain going to the bullpen.

Only thing I can guess is that he’s trying to motivate the starters—you guys all pitch well and maybe none of you get bumped to the ‘pen.

The bullpen knows someone’s coming from the rotation to help shoulder the load.

I don't think Holliday is actually for sale

they may have floated the idea out there to see if anyone would ridiculously overpay, but they had no real intentions of trading him.

that's what i'm thinking too

but the fact that peter gammons speculated on it made me think it could have some wings.

one espn guys says one thing

the other says another..Timmy k said he is the face of he franchise and won’t move him being a yr removed from a WS. if they move him it’d be next yr.

John Wasdin

The dude’s on a tear his last two starts. Through six tonight, he’s struck out 8 batters.

Nice to see Greene 2-2, too. To.

Just wait until next inning when someone faces the top of the line up. . ..

He has led off a couple innings now ...

middle innings. He is a significant problem to our middle inning production.

speaking of trades

I watched some of the Yanks-Red Sox game (I was hoping for a meteor) earlier and McCarver said Epstein told him the Sox would consider trading Ramirez, if he would waive his no-trade clause. Anybody else catch that?

by nota bene on Jul 26, 2008 9:02 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

yeah i caught it

i want absolutely no part of manny ramirez. ever.

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 26, 2008 9:03 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

me neither

but it’s not everyday that a GM tells the press that he’s open to trading a guy with 500 HRs. Think he’ll go to the Yankees? Bwahahaha….

He is causing all kinds of headaches for the manager

and in the clubhouse. I think they are finally getting tired of “Manny being Manny”.

I would be willing to trade 2-3 good pitching prospects for a decent shortstop prospect.

Since Edgar left shortstop has been a backhole for us. It is becoming another second base and we simply cannot allow that.

That was a good hit.

Pujols is not that far off. He just needs to stay disciplined.

Ank with a flyball to get the lead.

Then a mistake to Glaus.

First priority is getting the lead. I know we can’t protect one at the moment, but a lead is still the lead.

by Egyptian on Jul 26, 2008 9:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

How abut moving Ank back to the mound? Think it would be worse than Flores?

Love the game. Think the officiating is by far the worst of the three major American sports, ruins so many games.

They ought to use a Native American word.

With all the PC Police on native american names lately I am sure they won’t, but that would be the thing to do.

Still needs to mature as a hitter

just like his late inning choke jobs.

I don’t think he wanted to make contact with anything after that foul into the stands.

by liam on Jul 26, 2008 9:13 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think Ank was fooled by the breaking pitch

might have been sitting on a fastball….

by nota bene on Jul 26, 2008 9:12 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I thought most his Hr's were off breaking stuff,

and offspeed stuff. Thought lb or one of the other writers on here said that a few weeks ago.

i wanna take back what i said about Troy

he’s clearly a little faster than Yadda.

but i still can’t believe he beat out that infield hit

I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
