2005 - Cy Young (NL)

Saturday, October 10, 2009

News: Manager Tony La Russa could pitch Carpenter on short rest in a potential Game 4 on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Analysis: The Cardinals' initial plan was to use John Smoltz or Kyle Lohse as the Game 4 starter, but St. Louis' 0-2 deficit in the ALDS may have changed La Russa's mindset. Of course, all of this will be a moot point if the Cards can't find a way to win on Saturday.

Monday, May 25, 2009

News: Carpenter had 10 strikeouts over eight shutout innings on Monday afternoon against the Brewers.

Analysis: He's been outstanding when healthy and Monday was no exception. Carpenter carried a perfect game through six innings and allowed just two hits without walking a batter. He's looked like his old dominant self with a 23:4 K:BB ratio in 23 innings this season.
