Carp

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

C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!

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 to parent up reply reply actions 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?

They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...

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.

I don’t watch many Mets games on SNY, but their announcing crew is the best – Cohen, Hernandez and Darling. Keith is the best of the three – very frank, honest and he’s not a homer.

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.

yet on a day A rey got dealt

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.

by liam on Jul 26, 2008 7:43 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

true

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 to parent up reply reply actions 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).

by azruavatar on Jul 26, 2008 7:44 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

to me the big knock on JP has been his inability to go deep into games and eat up innings. He’s been a decent pitcher, just inefficient…..

except for those freak games when Reyes would show up with his A-game and be completely unhittable.

I’m so glad the guy’s getting a chance someplace else and the reports on Pedromo sound encouraging….maybe one of those rare trades that make both teams better.

I'd give up tacos for a month,

if we could go a week with our starters keeping their pitch count down. I was so jealous when Sabathia, the other night, was into like the eighth, and was under 90 pitches. Maybe Carpenter can start a trend…....but there I go getting my hopes up.

he should be on the freaking DL. I hate this silly macho shit that hurts the team (and the player) in the long run….

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.

I'm perfectly aware of that

but if he’s hurt some other way, or if the elbow has deteriorated, shut him down until he’s ready again. If that means the rest of 08 and into 09, better than him ruining his elbow permanently.

the only gripe you can say about LUD is

he doesn’t go to his left very well when he plays right field.

other wise, he’s as close to a gold glove as you are going to get

It wouldn't be THAT bad

but I think the bullpen would be helped more by having Wagonmaker in the rotation than having him in the ‘pen.

Paradoxically, yo.

by liam on Jul 26, 2008 8:03 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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

by sportsman on Jul 26, 2008 8:07 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yeah but

if he’s able to pitch 7-8 innings every night, he’s reducing the exposure to the bullpen, and limiting the number of pitches the rag-arms need to throw.

Mo's comments

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.
