Question

How do you think Chris Carpenter is going to do in his first start back?

Answer 1

hopefully well. the man has had so many problems the past few years i would like to see him have a good start

my line for him is 4.0 IP 2ER 3BB 3K

Answer 2

I'd hate to guess. I'm hoping he does well but I think it'll be a disaster.

Answer 3

he should do pretty good. he at one point was the best pitcher in baseball a few years back. he still has the stuff and the potential..

Answer 4

It is difficult to come back after a long layoff even if you are 100%.  I wouldn't expect too much his first start back.

Answer 5

Carpenter has been through the surgeries before and came back and a better pitcher than he left. He's as hard nosed as they come. I predict 5IP 2ER 1BB 4K

Answer 6

Not getting killed,by the opposing batters, will do for starters.

Keeping his team in a low scoring game for at least 5 innings is a remote possibility.

Goes six innings and is not the losing pitcher would be nice.

Anything better would be icing on the cake.

Next question.

Answer 7

It's going to be a struggle, but hope for the best. Realistically pitchers coming back after being out for so long tend to get lit up in their first start.
