GDT 10/7/11-Cards (Carpenter) @ Phillies (Halladay) 7:37 CDT

Well we'll probably have Descalsp batting with 2 on and 2 out in the 9th now. Oh well. Maybe he'll come through!

Late and close.

[Fat Strat]

If Punto had gotten a hit, would TLR have PH for Carp?

Depends. Runners on 1st & 2nd, 2 outs? I let Carp hit. Runners on 2nd & 3rd? I would have ph.

CMON CARP

[haltz]

apparently if it's dead and you act like a whiny [expletive] you get to go home.

Now Freese's bat is gone. Awesome.

[docellis]

Halladay at 105. Carpenter at 75.

[lukethedrifter]

really dislike taking that bat out of the lineup in a close game.

At a position that isn't as important as SS/2B/CF or something, and also a guy that really is competent at the position. It's [expletive] stupid is what it is.

Is Descalso that much better? Are Freese's wheels that bad?

[TGantz]

I really hope Carp can keep going. Motte vs. the top of the Phillies line up scares the [expletive] out of me.

[Cronos]

I believe in Chris Carpenter.

[KyCardinalFan]

Tony, Isn't it possible you might need a PH later in the game?

Especially considering TLR often manages like it WILL go extras.

[go birds]

I still fail to see how freeses defense negates his bat
