Carpenter had one awful stretch that lasted about 6 weeks.
Otherwise, he's been an MVP candidate.

And they lead again, this time behind Tommy Pham.

Cardinals just keep winning. They'll win 100 games this year.
On paper, probably the most mediocre team ever to do that.

D'Backs fail to take advantage of umpteen oppos, Cardinals take
plenty of advantage of just one.

Bryant was had a better wRC+ in every month of the season except
for March/April.
I'd rather play the Cards and there pixie dust in the wild card
game.

If carpenter is an mvp candidate, Bryant is God.
Garcia took Strop deep not Jake.

Carpenter was better in July too. Bryant wRC+ of 74 in July.
In some ways, Cards lucky--but very unlucky with injuries.
Compared to Cards, Cubs have been [knocking on wood] very lucky
with injuries. And, that is biggest luck factor of all.
Give Cards credit for overcoming injuries.

Mets with ridiculous total of 51 total bases in tonight's
blowout of Phillies.

Cubs are 4-9 against St. Louis. That's the difference between
being in 1st and being in 3rd.

In a one game playoff The Cards are less scary. The offense
isn't as good as Pittsburg and they don't have a pitcher of
Cole's ability either. Throw in the fact that since it is a
race now and Wacha and Martinez won't get the rest they need I'd
much rather face them. Arrieta is 2-1 against the Cards this
year. This isn't to say that the Cards are a bad team, I just
like the 1 game match up better.
I thought Carpenter's 71 wRC+ lined up with Bryant's slump, bad
part about typing on a phone. Bryant has been better than
Carpenter this year.
