2009-05-25 Cardinals (Carpenter) at Brewers (Gallardo): 1:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 1-0]

I think it's the perfect time to mention that Carpenter has a no-no going right now. Yo is also pitching great. *Wink wink*

[Mr QL]

it would be cool to get a hit or even a walk versus Cy Carpenter this game

[PrinceEatMeat]

This is ridiculous. 50 pitches, 6 K's thru 5.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I'm gonna call Yovani breaking it up with a solo shot next inning.

[liveforoctober]

I don't think we can stress enough that Carpenter is perfect through 5...

[PrinceEatMeat]

If Anderson mentions the you-know-what going on right now I'll be pissed.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well, nevermind then. Now Yo will be out after next inning because of his pitch count.

[Mr QL]

well so much for that

[PrinceEatMeat]

Hopefully, we get Rasmus here then intentionally walk Pujols and get Duncan.

[crewcrazy]

If Anderson mentions the you-know-what going on right now I'll be pissed.

I think he mentioned it a couple times in the 5th inning. I guess the good news in Carpenter's situation is that if it goes on for much longer La Russa will have to make a tough decision on sticking to the pitch count or letting him finish the job.

[Schlitz001]

I'm proud of BA for not mentioning Yo's no-no through 5+.

 

EDIT: Guess I must have missed it.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well, that worked like a charm right there.

[Mr QL]

lets break up that PERFECT GAME

[PrinceEatMeat]

At this rate, the pitch count won't even matter. He'll get thru all 9 in 90 pitches.

[jwill535]

Corey Hart strikes out on more pitches right down the middle then any player, minus a pitcher, I have ever seen.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Wow, a 6-pitch ab, that's new.

[Mr QL]

break it up Yo

[PrinceEatMeat]

63 pitches thru 6, just ridiculous.

[bucks2281]

I guess the good news in Carpenter's situation is that if it goes on for much longer La Russa will have to make a tough decision on sticking to the pitch count or letting him finish the job.

 

Man, I think if you're close to pitching a perfect game, you absolutely have to let him finish the job.

[PrinceEatMeat]

What would be awesome is if it went into the bottom of the 9th 0-0, and then we break up the perfect game with a walk-off homer.

[PrinceEatMeat]

WOW! That was impressive by McGehee right there. Thought he was Weeks for a second there.

[pretendastronaut]

CBS Sportsline just had Carpenter being perfect as a news alert. Bring the doom baseball gods!

[thablingster]

At least the defense is showing up to back Yo today. Gotta knock on wood that continues, though.

 

The offense is starting to worry me a bit since the loss of Weeks, but I looked up the stats for the past 7 and 14 days and the only real difference is a slight drop in both OBP and SLG. Hopefully we can get a run, it looks like a solo jack will be what wins this game.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Wait, I wasn't even thinking that if it's 0-0 after 9, it won't even count as a perfect game. Wouldn't that suck for him if he went 9 perfect and it didn't even count?

[hurricanecrush]

In case no one has mentioned it in the last few minutes... Carpenter has a no no...
