Game 9 Open Thread: Carpenter at Diamondbacks

| Scherzer |
| 0-0, 0.00 not Chris Carpenter |
Are you excited? I'm excited. I'll be nervous until the end of the season, when Carpenter goes 35-0 and is awarded the National League Chris Carpenter award, but now that he's pitched one game and looked Carpenterian I'm ready to allow myself this small, dangerous leeway.
As for Max Scherzer, he's a very exciting young pitcher, and I'm impressed that the Diamondbacks have not yet moved him to the bullpen, in spite of the pervasive Scout's Honor wisdom that suggests he's destined to end up there.
As far as the lineup goes, I don't understand Ludwick's benching, but then I rarely will; for what it's worth, Scherzer's pronounced splits don't show themselves nearly so convincingly in his minor league numbers. It's odd, a week or so in, to be complaining about how quickly La Russa made Unproven Youth Colby Rasmus a senior member of the outfield platoon, but here we are doing it.
That one odd week in, La Russa--whom I don't see motivatedany time soon by a desire to make sure Rasmus learns on the job unless it best positions the Cardinals, in his admittedly idiosyncratic mind, to win--has yet to make any judgments about the outfielders' intrinsic quality. That's had beneficial effects--the unexpectedly extensive major league tryout for Rasmus--and detrimental ones--Ludwick not playing every single day, Duncan in the outfield against left-handed pitchers.
At some point I hope La Russa realizes that Duncan is the clear fourth choice against southpaws. But past that, each change in the rotation is going to involve some significant trade-off.
I'll be out of radio contact for most of the game; I've programmed two game threads. (My assumption is that if we need more something terrible has happened, in which case not having an extra game thread will be the least of our troubles.)

How to Watch the Baseball Online for Free Tonight
Unfournately it will not be easy as it was yesterday. You will have to download a program but overall still easy. There will be probably up to a 5 minute delay between real time and stream time. Right now the Audio doesn’t seem to be working but the streamer is working on that.
1) First off you need to download and install a program, TVAnts
2) Click on this Link for Feed after done installing
3) Wait to buffer and it should start playing
He is currently playing the Angels vs Mariners game and will switch over afterwards. I would recommend trying it out now cause some of you might have problems.

Carp missing high a bit too much
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

Uh, not really...
At the risk of beating a dead horse, any lineup without Ludwick in it is just weak. With no Glaus, you need as much hitting as possible, and Ankiel, Rasmus, and Duncan isn’t a particularly fearsome trio. Even at their best production, you won’t be getting what Ludwick gives you, most likely.

To me,
It’s not just giving away the outs, it’s the fact that the pitcher was just hit hard, and gave up a walk to a guy that doesn’t walk very often, it is still early in the game, there were no outs. I’m a bigger fan of that if there is 1 out, later in the game, or even if both hits were just fluky bloopers.

I for one am going to assume that it is on the same level
as the calf injury in the spring. Not because I believe it, but because I cant handle the assumption that it is any worse.
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

nice play by thurston there.
for out number 2.
- So, to ease his pain, you're supposed to take him to a ball game?
- Yes.

Now all I can hope for ....
is for Zambrano and Harden both getting injured.
If we have to suffer through this crap, so should the Cubs.

And Carp's Comeback Player of the Year Award
attempt ends on his second start of the year.
The guy must have been one hell of a pedophile in his last life.
Worst. Karma. Ever.

it's better than shoulder or arm injury to be sure
but ribcage pulls can take weeks to recover from and the only prescription for them is rest. Still better than an arm injury.
man
you guys are firing on all the humor cylinders tonight :)

If it is a rib injury, it's not the end of the world. If anything, thiis will rest his arm for the long haul.
"...and pujols has given st louis the lead"
I think ANY injury is bad news
The only way they could keep pace with the cubbies is to keep the SP staff healthy ALL year

Honestly I am a little suprised by the reaction
I never really had any faith in Carp’s health from the get go. I just assumed he was going to get hurt. This is like a non issue cause I just assumed it was going to happen. When I started to read all the “Fuck” posts the first thing I thought was ….. not going to say it.
Stat Whore
jesus y'all
it sounds like it could be something innocuous like a cramp or something….at least save the hyperventilating until after the team claims that Carp will be back in two weeks
(disclaimer: some sarcasm may have been employed in this post)
I'm just really excited for Carp coming back in 15 days
it will be like making a trade in May for a Cy Young winning starter.
