Just cuz I like lineups in game threads:
Schumaker – 2B
Rasmus – CF
Pujols – 1B
Holliday – LF
Ankiel – RF
Glaus – 3B
Molina – C
Ryan – SS
Carpenter – P

Amen.
I also enjoy how, ATG, Carp’s already gotten screwed on two strike calls. In the first inning.

Why doesn’t this homeplate unpire go back to the umpires room and call the game from there? He would definitely have a better view of the plate.

There should be a 5th umpire behind the pitcher to call balls and strikes...

Please do not luggage me Mr. Chris Carpenter, sir.

The Record for RBI by a pitcher in 1 game is 9 by Tony Cloninger of the Atlanta Braves on July 3, 1966 against the San Francisco Giants. Cloninger hit two grand slams and a single to account for the 9 RBIs.
The Cardinls have never gone to a World series in a year ending in 9. Every other year they have: 1930, 31, 42, 82, 43, 34, 44, 64, 2004, 85, 26, 46, 2006, 67, 87 , 28 & 68. But no 9s, Could this be the year?

I’m keeping an eye on Carp’s WPA since the GS. He’s up to .148 pitching, but the double bumped his batting WPA to .202 (!). .148 + .202 = .350. I just noticed Kip’s WPA is -.348….
can you easily find where a .350 wpa ranks in Cards players this season?
If not don’t worry about it, just curious
not off the top of my head
I’m sure it’s out there….you may be able to find it somewhere on Fangraphs

Carp hurts chances
Thanks to this huge run outburst. All of the Lincecum rooters will claim that Carp has more wins thanks to his tremendous run support. (Which was lower than Lincecum’s before today.) (Which Carp has given up a total of 1 run during his last 3 outings, but will only have 1 win to show for it. It is a tough vote for Cy Young. Carp has probably been the best pitcher, but those missed games early in the season are tough to overlook. (However, what if Carp had ANY run support in his last 2 games (and 1 other from earlier in the season) and finished the season 20-4. I think he wins the thing even with missing several game to the DL.
How about handin' me another helpin' of those mashed taters...thank you very much!
Lincecum's supporters are not in the position of having to based their arguments on such weak evidence.
By measures of value, Lincecum blows Carp/Waino away.
