why did they take carpenter out?

he has a ten run cushion

4/3/2006 5:14:02 PM

you answered your own question


same reason why Ozzie took out Podsednik last night when they had an 8-run lead

....no point in risking injury on Opening Day when the players are barely removed from Spring Training, which is about as physically demanding as tee ball

4/3/2006 5:21:46 PM

how many innings does a starter need to notch the W?

4/3/2006 5:26:57 PM

5 is enough

4/3/2006 5:32:12 PM

5

granted his performance today won't dominate any fantasy leagues (5IP, 9 hits, 4 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 2 HR), but he still gets the decision

[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 5:35 PM. Reason : ,]

4/3/2006 5:32:34 PM

well there ya go

4/3/2006 5:35:26 PM

he can get the W if he pitches less than 5 if the scorekeeper judges him to be the 'most effective' pitcher

4/3/2006 5:36:16 PM

...and he threw 97 pitches over 5 innings

I wouldn't be surprised if everybody in the rotation is on a limited pitch count for their first start of the season

4/3/2006 5:37:49 PM

this is going to be a monster season

4/3/2006 9:10:13 PM

4/8/2006 4:39:16 PM

and now we're down 1.

4/8/2006 4:49:12 PM

3-2 Cubs, Top of the 9th Baby Jesus(D. Lee) Homered in the 8th.
