Always liked the guy
Hope he comes back strong
No clue if he willComment -
Point me in the direction of these reports.
Last I heard is that he wants to be a starter again, but is still far away from ever returning. The Cardinals are the last team that needs another starter in the rotation. The LAstros are another story.Comment -
He is a warrior out there on the mound. I dont know how anybody could not like him. Total class act. Very tough guy and he competes like a maniac.Comment -
i havent seen the reports on paper but the announcer doing the Cardinals broadcast last night were discussing him. Apparently he has impressed his teammates with the type of stuff he's had in his bullpens but he will do 2 or 3 more bullpen sessions and then do a rehab assignment.Originally posted by EASports
So were probably looking at his return in mid to late June if things go as planned.
They will bring him back slowly and limit his pitch count at first but he should be in tip top shape for the playoffs.Comment -
Bears info is usually pretty accurateComment -
penetrate...no kidding....reds cant get a break....F STL.....hope he comes back a gas can

I read that Carpenter was conditioning to be a starter again, but I haven't read a single article that has said he looks better than ever. He only just threw 30 pitches in a bullpen session Wednesday, so I don't know who could've conjured up that he looks better than ever, lol.Comment -
I'm pulling for Carpenter though, I've always enjoyed watching him.Comment -
yeah im sure he will be a starter . Miller and Lynn are good but they will be relievers in the post seasonComment -
Same...total respect for him as a player...BUT im a reds fan and he is on STL LOL.....last few years he hasnt been the real carp

People like this gejuy??
He's known as one of the biggest cawksuckers in MLBComment -
y is he a cawksucker?Originally posted by InTheDrink
he is a warrior out there on the mound. Nobody can question his clutchness, competitiveness, and love for the game. If he wasnt passionate about this game he would have already retired.
He's already rich and hes got what 3 world series rings??? or is it 2?
I cant think of a better big game pitcher.Comment -
This has been all the talk in STL the past week. A lot of what I've heard is coming out of the pen and helping the team 'in any way possible'. Of course, if the Cards make the playoffs there's no way he doesn't start a game.Comment -
goldrush,
do u think the players enjoy playing for mike matheny?
he seems like a "players coach"Comment -
well he did get shellacked by the giants in the nlcs last year but that's besides the point....just like all of your points having nothing to do with him being a cawksuckerOriginally posted by Big Bear
the gueye is a contradictory self righteous prick....everyone he faces has to follow his version of the unwritten rules of baseball except himComment -
auto fade until he beats me consistentlyComment -
They do like playing for him. He's not far removed from being a player himself, was never a star so he doesn't have that persona, and took a lot from LaRussa.Originally posted by Big Bear
Carp's just a cranky old veteran who's a little OCD at times. Not a clubhouse cancer or anything like that.Comment -
It seems like the young players like playing for Matheny more than they did LaRussa. There was always some issue involving a rook or 2nd year player who didn't get along with LaRussa. Of course when you win people tend to get along more.Comment -

Hope Carp doesn't rush back to fast. He's an old man and cards have a wealth of pitching right now. Their minor league system is loaded with pitching as well.
But you can never have to much pitching.Comment
