Carpenter best pitcher in baseball

[zsr]

Guy has ice in his veins, nobody else in baseball would go 9 and pitch a shutout in a game 5 or game 7 clincher.

[laclippers504]

Great performance

[Ace_of_Spades]

He was garbage in his first outing in the playoffs.

[onetrickpony]

[Poker_Beast]

Unreal!!!

The guy sucked ass most of the year....come on now...didn't even lead his team in ERA/Wins....yikes

[freeVICK]

if only wainwright was healthy

[Sunde91]

great, but had to face the least clutch worst hitting team in baseball

[Poker_Beast]

Under that pressure. I was a wreck. Great job Carp!!!!

Starts like this are what defines greatness. Not regular season stats, come on now.

[neverstoppers23]

Really? He was 10-2 to end the season and his game 2 start was on 3 days rest for the 1st time in his career.

[BigDofBA]

Yeah. Phillies could have used him tonight.

better than any of the trash on Mil....god brewers fans are about the most ignorant in baseball. just like their classless, celebrate after every fukkin hit, cant wait to leave that city players...

[Dirty Sanchez]

Really? He was 10-2 to end the season and his game 2 start was on 3 days rest for the 1st time in his career.

He was 11-9 this season with a 3.45 ERA....geez...to end the season? it stretched back to June with a bunch of no decisions....anyone can spin stats to fit your argument

[Salmon Steak]

Go Cards!

[BigDofBA]

Carp wasn't 100% earlier in the year.

He showed up when counted though. WINNING!

[gamble]

tell me somebody saw him go hulk hogan and rip his jersey off too, priceless

[Lefttee]

if only wainwright was healthy

I was thinking this all year long.

[Ace_of_Spades]

I hope this Phillies team starts to stink now.

[Dirty Sanchez]

I hope this Phillies team starts to stink now.

Not sure where they'll get the money to upgrade the offense...They're No. 2 highest payroll next to the Yanks at $172 Million...the Big 4 pitchers are around $70 Million...with Howard and Utley they're around $110 Million....they could see some challenges for sure

Verlander is the best pitcher in all of baseball. the end.

Verlander is the best pitcher in all of baseball. the end.

No.

[19th Hole]

Verlander is the best pitcher in all of baseball. the end.

No Doubt...

[GimpedMaster]

As the biggest Cards fan probably on this site, even for me it's tough to just say he's the 'best in baseball', especially given how our season has gone down. I would say he was the best in baseball tonight, for sure, and when he's ON, he can be the best player on the field.

The man can thrive in the post-season though, and as previously mentioned, if we had Wainwright... My god...

[Ricki Roma]

poor wainwright

[GimpedMaster]

poor wainwright

Don't feel too bad for him, looks like he's still having plenty of fun!

[GimpedMaster]

Is there another single photo that sums up tonights game any better? Carpenter never shows emotion, the guy is like a statue out there, seeing him show this kind of passion is inspiring...

[hardball]

Kershaw.

Book it. The kid is pure filthy.

[Educ8d Degener8]

Verlander is the best pitcher in all of baseball. the end.

Obviously.

[upscope]

Kershaw.

Book it. The kid is pure filthy.

[BGS 9.5]

No.

There is zero debate here, Verlander is the best, it is really that simple.
