 RHP CHRIS CARPENTER
 www,cardinals,com
.
SAN DIEGO — We knew it then and know it now. . .Chris Carpenter is “A HORSE – of course, of course!“
.
February 2013 – John Mozeliak said, “My hope is that he (Carp) still comes around and makes himself available from time to time.”
.
Mo’s solemn words after the sad news that Chris Carpenter would not wear the Birds on the Bat in 2013. Carpenter still refused to utter the “R” word!
.
Now. . .three months later. . .
 . . .Carp?.
“It’s going to be up to my stuff and my ability to go out there and stay strong throughout a certain number of pitches or a certain number of innings,” said Carpenter, the Majors’ winning-percentage leader from 2004-12. “We’ll see how that goes when I start doing those rehab starts. From what was originally talked about, we were going to use all the starts that I could get, and all the days I can get, to make sure that it’s working.”
.
Jaime Garcia is out for left shoulder surgery. Now what?
.
“Clearly, when you lose someone like Jaime, you start thinking about how those innings will be covered. Carp now factors into that,” Mozeliak said. “But I’m taking this in a very realistic approach. Baseball is so fluid. For me, it’s all about him being able to show that he is healthy and he can contribute. We have to gear him up as if he were coming back as a starter, because A, that pushes him physically, and B, if we don’t build him up as a starter and we determine we need one, we haven’t taken advantage of getting him ready for that.”
.
Timelines and possibilities are unknown and questionable but when you’re talkin’ our Ace, RHP Chris Carpenter, anything’s possible! You know mlbvoice.com will keep you posted!
.
This is the condensed version of a piece about Chris Carpenter’s rehab by MLB.com’s Jennifer Langosch. A girl, yes a girl for goodness sakes, that knows her Cardinal baseball. Click it out to read the whole thing. It’s good!

1. BIRD POOP FOR 5/23/13NL CENTRAL -
SERIES W/L REC: 9/2 Splits: 2 Sweeps!: 2
.LHP TYLER LYONS
www.cardinals.com
.
WEDNESDAY Cards 5 @ Padres 3 – Want more details? Click on your cardinals.com write-up.SAN DIEGO — Kudos to the Cardinals!
Kudos to the Cardinals! Two reasons. . .
1) We grow some awesome arms down in the Cardinal Farm System — LHP Tyler Lyons debut 2) Our Cardinal offense backed up their young pitcher! Yay!
.
LHP Trevor Lyons was outstanding in his debut! His delivery was simple and easy. It was a joy to watch him work! Okay, you’re right, I’m sounding like a proud parent – Cardinal Nation is that way! Lyons pitched seven innings, six scoreless, four hits, 4K, 1 W for his debut. 1.29 ERA. In the sixth inning he got his first big-league hit too!
.
Our ‘pen took over and held his lead. Whew! Yay ‘pen! Love to get to say that.
RHP Trevor Rosenthal struck out the side in the eighth. Yeah it was 1-2-3. Fast and impressive. We got to see Rosey’s 90 mph changeup – Wow! The eighth inning is his.
In the ninth RHP Edward Mujika did his job and got his 14th save. Dependable — that’s our closer. This is (still) working – no jinx! The ninth inning wasn’t what I’d call pretty or easy. Mujika allowed a couple of runs. In fact it was scary getting that third out in the ninth (that’s a closer’s job – to be scary! lol). But. . . .Mujika did his job. He saved the game so Lyons could get his first win.
Sidenote: I have to admit, I was a bit more nervous than usual in the ninth. It was Save #13 to Save #14. I’m superstitious too!
.
Our offense was very good. In the first inning, we batted through the order and got our rookie pitcher an early 3-0 lead.
.
OUR Killer Bee (Beltran) did what he’s good at. . .hitting. He went went 3-for-3. Molina was outstanding and back to himself. He went 4-for-4. A Ricky WOW! moment (Words of Wisdom) on our All-Star catcher, “Yadi doesn’t like going for 0-for-10 so tonight he goes 4-for-4.” You’re so perceptive Ricky!
.
Defense: Carp2 (M Carpenter) earned nickname again with his barehanded play in the eighth inning (he’s more than an awesome bat). Sharp! OUR Killer Bee (Beltran) showed his arm when he doubled up in the third inning. Pretty! He’s still making impressive plays out the in the OF! Okay, you’re right, pretty is not a baseball-like term, but it was just that — a pretty play to watch.
We took this series. . .again (no jinx). That makes our series total 9/2 for the season. Add to that: two sweeps
Our Cards are playing some very, very good baseball! This is so much FUN! to watch! We CAN DO THIS! .

TUESDAY Cards 10 @ Padres 2 – Looking for more detail? Click out your cardinals.com write-up.SAN DIEGO — What a big night!
Tuesday’s game was the complete opposite of the series opener on Monday. Our Cardinals clobbered the Padres 10-2.
Typically, the ball doesn’t move well at night in Petco Park. Manager Mike calls it “a graveyard.” Not Tuesday! Our Cards had a lot offense – many hard hit balls. Danny D (Descalso) struck out in a critical spot Saturday night, but he’s hitting the ball better. He went 3-for-3 with a career-high five RBIs. Double D smacked an eighth inning grand slam. His first – ever! Ty Wigginton says he ‘called it.’ It’s just FUN! to watch them in the dugout on a night like this.
.
RHP Adam Wainwright was impressive. Postgame called it “Vintage Wainwright.” He was dominant out there. Manager Mike said”it was one of Adam’s better nights.” Waino threw many different pitches in different locations. Like they always say, “he used both sides of the plate.” He was dominant. 7 1/3 innings & 100 pitches — four hits, 6Ks and 1walk. His used his nasty breaking ball, cutter, offspeed pitches. His Padre ERA is 1.02.
“We couldn’t really solve Wainwright,” Padres manager Bud Black said. “[He had] just a nice mix of pitches. We couldn’t do anything.”
Cards were well represented in San Diego. Huge groups of Cardinal fans flocked to this game. The guys were thrilled.
“That was pretty special,” Wainwright said. “It’s not rare for our fans to show up, but it’s rare for our fans to be louder than the home fans. When I walked off today, it definitely felt like a home game. It really did.”
Our Cards are now proud owners of the National League ‘s best road record. We got caught up on our rest. Think?

1. BIRD POOP FOR 5/21/13NL CENTRAL -
SERIES W/L REC: 8/2 Splits: 2 Sweeps!: 2
..
SAN DIEGO — Remember LHP Jason Marquis? Marquis helped us win a Worlds Series Championship in ’06 and he helped the Padres take the series opener Monday. He looked very good. Marquis and the Padre defense took care our our Cardinals Monday night 4-2.
.
We are in California for six games on this road trip. Three against the Padres and then we go to LA LA Land and face the Dodgers for three. zzzzzz! Not zz the Dodgers – being out west! You staying up for the games? I try but. . . Monday our Cards just got started on the wrong foot. We didn’t play very well and things just didn’t go our way (you know how we need both to get a W) . The Padres have been playing very good baseball too and we got to see that up close & personal. Lucky us – Not! lol
.
RHP Shelby Miller pitched a good game, but wasn’t quite as sharp as he’s been for us thus far this season (maybe jet lag? IDK!). He pitched in his usual rhythm, throwing strikes. Miller looked good early on and did a fine job getting out of a third-inning jam. When he got to the sixth the Padres got hold of his pitches. Miller allowed two runs in the sixth inning to take a Card 2-1 lead Padres 3-2.
.
”Throwing 20 pitches every single inning is not what I’m here to do (referring to the sixth),” said Miller, whose ERA climbed to 1.74. “Facing a good hitting offense on a big league club, it’s not going to be easy to just throw it and have then swing at it every single time. Something I have to realize is to get the ball around the zone and hopefully things happen better.”
.
The seventh brought on the return of. . .RHP Mitchell Boggs. Boggs did something he knows he shouldn’t do – he threw a pitch right down the middle. They knocked it out for a solo blast to give the Padres a 4-2 lead. You’re right. . .been there done that!
.
Big Hitter (Matt Adams) was a pinch-hitter in the seventh and put a good swing on a ball that almost made it out of Petco Park to tie the game. That was the most excitement that we had Monday night. Our offense just couldn’t get anything past Marquis. It was one of those nights that we looked a bit stale.
.
We’ll do this again Wednesday with Adam Wainwright on the mound. Hopefully our Cards will have more rest and more life into their play. I’m not manager material or anything, but. . .we need remember to score more than early in the game and save some of that offensive excitement for the seventh and eighth innings. Manager Mike, I know you’ve probably thought of that fact already
.
Good luck & Game On!

1. BIRD POOP FOR 5/20/13Lineup Card for 5/20/13 vs. Padres - St. Louis Cardinals:
1. 2B: Matt Carpenter
2. RF: Carlos Beltran 3. LF: Matt Holliday 4. 1B: Allen Craig 5. C: Yadier Molina 6. CF: Jon Jay 7. 3B: David Freese 8. SS: Pete Kozma 9. SP: Shelby Miller NL CENTRAL -
SERIES W/L REC: 8/2 Splits: 2 Sweeps!: 2 PITCHER CHATTER
RHP Jake Westbrook – Westy will be out longer than the initial plan of just a couple of starts. Scar tissue build-up was found in his elbow and he will have another cortizone shot to try to fix it.
LHP Jaime Garcia - Garcia went on the DL Saturday with left shoulder strain. Surgery looks like it might be the answer. Surprised? He will see Dr. James Andrews this week.
RHP Mitchell Boggs – Boggs rejoined the team Sunday – he’s all suited up, etc. I know what you’re thinking, but Boggs made five scoreless appearances for Memphis before allowing three runs in an outing on Thursday. Boggs is a good pitcher, he just went through a rough spot (that we paid dearly). Manager Mike stands behind his guys. You knew we’d see him again soon. Boggs talked to reporters Sunday and says he feels very good. It’s like he’s “starting all over again.” Watch out. . . .Eighth Inning!
RHP Chris Carpenter – Click out Chris Carpenter’s 5/15/13 comments, “I’m excited . . .” Plus. . .Breakfast w/Bernie on Carp’s comeback.
.
Everybody wants to know about Wacha, Wacha, Wacha. Michael Wacha, WILL be ready to pitch in the majors soon. He is in what they are calling Long-Term Development Mode. They are easing him in. Mo knows what he’s doing!
.
Sunday starters – RHP Kyle Lohse & LHP John Gast
 www.cardinals.com
SUNDAY
Brewers 2 @ Cards 4 – Looking for more detail? Click out your cardinals.com game write-up.ST. LOUIS –We took the rubber game in the series.
 .
Our Redbirds are playing some very good baseball as of late. 1. Pitching – Baseball’s Best! 2. Offense – Listening to Manager Mike & getting those timely hits — especially with two outs 3. Defense lookin’ good. Saturday we had a defense issue in the extra innings (i.e., Kozma). After Manager Mike set them straight, our defense was definitely in check on High Socks Sunday. Kozma looked much better up the middle – shining especially bright in the third inning (yes, our Cardinals can shine!).
STL – High Socks Sunday
High Heels spotted too!
 www.cardinals.com
Defense was very pretty in the ninth inning (okay I know that’s not a baseball-like way to put it, but this was!). JJ (Jay), who is looking very “Jimmy Edmonds-like” out there in center
 and. . .OUR Killer Bee (Beltran) both made gorgeous diving catches to retire the first two batters. We threw double plays where they were necessary to get out of some very dangerous situations too (that’s why they are a pitcher’s best friend) — Carp2 looks confident & sound out there @ second.
.
Offense was very good. In the fourth inning, we had one of our Trademark Cardinal Rallies to get us first on the board and give us a 4-0 lead. RHP Kyle Lohse was on the mound for the Brew Crew and he was looking like we know he can look — very good, making good pitches. In the fourth inning we finally got hold of some of those pitches. An offensive outburst came from Craig/Freese/Jay/Kozma/Molina (not in that order! lol). In the sixth inning the Brewers came through with a couple of runs to make it a 4-2 ballgame. It became a little scary.
.
Then. . .here comes The Manny – RHP Rookie Seth Maness. Maness took over in the sixth and pitched 1 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball (he allowed five base hits but still finished with 0s). Really!! Maness was able to get things back in control. He was quick and amazing (Mr. DP induced 4 Dps). Maness pitched his way out of our seventh inning jam. It was key when he got Ryan Braun to hit into an inning-ending double play. When that happened I felt a burst of momentum come our way. Did you feel it?
.
Sunday was LHP Rookie John Gast’s second major league start. Gast looked very good again, pitching 5 1/3 innings. Gast’s best pitch is a change-up & it was dangerous. He was in total control. Gast is another one of those rookie pitchers disguised as a veteran.Not seasoned just yet, but definitely on his way. He’s now 2-0.
.
In the eighth, Rosey (RHP T. Rosenthal) pitched awesomeness again. A key moment that inning was when heavy hitter, Ricky Weeks, hit a long. long, long fly ball that . . . .stayed in the park. Whew! It was so close. Weeks hasn’t been getting the hits and you know he’s due! Just glad he wasn’t due yet!
.
Sunday was another return of former Cardinal, RHP Kyle Lohse, to Busch Stadium. Although Lohse’s record doesn’t show it, he’s pitching very well for the Brew Crew. Sunday afternoon continued to be frustrating for Loshey:
1) In our offensive burst in the fourth inning, Kozma laid down a bunt that Lohse failed to field cleanly (Lohse is a good fielding pitcher). 2) Busch ran a big graphic about Lohse’s tough luck record as a Brewer. IDK! 3) Our starting pitcher, John Gast, was probably one of the young STL arms that failed us to resign Loshey (a little reminder).
Lohse showed a lot of emotion out there Sunday. Manager Mike said it was “just healthy competition.” Click out Mike’d Up after the W.
.
RHP Edward Mujika shut the door tight for save #13. It’s still working!. . . .No jinx!
Happy flight! Happy flight! Sunday afternoon to San Diego, California. We open a three-game series w/the Padres Monday (are you ready to watch late-night baseball?) RHP Shelby Miller will have the ball in the first game.
Game on!!!

THURSDAY
Mets 5 @ Cardinals 2 – Looking for more details? Cardinals.com game write-up. Click it out!.
ST. LOUIS –Our sweep of the PS Mets fell short Thursday – I guess we were getting kinda greedy. Oh well! We hadn’t swept the Mets four games since 1979. Yeah, that’s even before they officially became Pond Scum! OMG! We took the series and that’s ultimately what we’re after. This is for you stats geeks: our series win/loss total is very good thus far. It’s 7/2. Those are some good numbers!
.
Wainwright pitched six innings, recording eight Ks. The Mets are historically trouble for Wainwright – he’s lost in his past four starts against them. Maybe next time, Waino! He typically pitches very well in day games, but Thursday it was like he was just missing something. Click out what Manager Mike said in Mike’s Up about Wainwright’s tough-luck day.
“I felt like it was good, not great,” Wainwright said of his command. “I definitely wasted today with not executing a couple pitches. But I had more than enough good stuff to get the job done.
.
The Mets’ two-run sixth inning was big for them. Daniel Murphy had a very good day @ the plate. Murphy finished 3-for-3 against Wainwright.
.
Our offense had mucho trouble with their left-handed starter, Jon Niese. What is it about LHPs – sometimes we just don’t jive w/them. Niese was terrific against us. Our Cards collected only six hits over his 7 1/3 innings.We were short two important hitters – MattyHo (chill you know it’s Holliday & all FUN!) and JJ (Jay). Neise was knocked out in the eighth inning and there was a glimmer of hope for us. OUR Killer Bee (Beltran) was busy at doing his thing: yeah hitting. Beltran singled home Carp2 from second w/his third hit of the day. Craiger followed as the potential tying run, but ended the threat by grounding into his second double play of the afternoon. Craiger finished hitless in four at-bats (there’s always the next game – you’ll catch up!). The excitement was there, but like I said it was a glimmer and it went by fast.
.
.
Thursday was a tough game. Our Cards have been playing very good ball as of late.
”We had a good run,” said Matheny, whose club lost for just the third time in its past 15 games. “We got them a little nervous there late. Guys continued to push.”
Our next series starts Friday as the Brew Crew come into STL for three games. Our Cardinals have taken six of the first seven against the Brewers this season. Kyle Lohse is set to make his third start against us on Sunday.
.
LHP Jaime Garcia has the ball tonight. Garcia has only given up one run over 15 innings in two starts against Milwaukee this year. Buena suerte Jaime! (that means good luck in Espanole).

1. BIRD POOP FOR 5/15/13!.
NL CENTRAL -
SERIES W/L REC:6/2 Splits: 2 Sweeps!: 2
.
LHP JOHN GAST
 www.cardinals.com
ST. LOUIS –LHP John Gast was asked Tuesday if his long-time dream measured up to reality. He replied, “It was pretty close!” That dream marked a very successful debut on our way to a 10-4 W Tuesday.
Our young arms just keep coming through for us like seasoned veterans and Tuesday was no change from that. LHP John Gast made his professional pitching debut – striking out his first batter/victim. He pitched five shutout innings. Gast looked poised and in control. Gast is the first Cardinals left-hander to make his debut as a starter since Rick Ankiel in 1999.
“It’s incredible,” Matt Carpenter said of the plethora of Major League-ready young pitchers. “The talent we have is a testament to our Minor League system and the product that they continue to develop. … They seem like they can always find the guys who can come up here and compete and give us a chance to win games.”
.
Sixteen-year veteran Carlos Beltran says he’s never seen anything like this (our surplus of talented young pitching):
“Being able to replace a guy who throws hard with another guy who throws hard, imagine that?” added Beltran. “When I see those guys coming in, I’m just looking forward to seeing what they’re going to do. They throw hard, but they throw hard under control. That’s the beauty of watching these guys pitch.”
Manager Mike took out his rookie lefty in the seventh inning. Gast left the game with a healthy lead that put him in line for his first big-league W. His pitch count stayed down and he was throwing strikes (after the fifth inning he had just thrown 50 pitches). Not until the sixth inning did he allow any Pond Scum Met action at the plate. He allowed four runs (one was his first home run hit against him – a two-run dinger). Gast didn’t show signs of nervousness or jitters. In fact, the only fear we saw from our rookie pitcher was Monday when he faced the media for the first time! Then. . . .he was scared!
.
Our bullpen took over in the seventh and did just fine. Yeah they did exactly what they’re supposed to do! The ‘pen put on the Maness/Martinez/Kelly show.
.
Our offense was hot and took care of their pitcher on his first game in the biggies.
.
Carlos Beltran was on fire – what a night for OUR Killer Bee (and it’s sure nice to have him FINALLY playing for our side. We’ve seen ENOUGH of the damage from his bat over the years). Now, in the past he hadn’t hit well against the Mets. His average was .122. That was WAS. Tuesday he went 3-for-5 and slammed a 437 foot three-run homer right into Big Mac Land in the fifth inning on the road to his four- RBI night. Big Macs for everybody – all 37,460! Beltran’s Mets average has improved!
Craiger (Craig) keyed a three-run first inning. RBI singles from The Wizard of Coz (Kozma), Carp2 (M. Carpenter) and Beltran doubled the lead in the third. JJ (Jay) delivered his fourth home run of the season an inning later. It marked the fifth time this season that the Cardinals have scored at least 10 runs in a game.
“We have guys who are tough outs,” Carp2 (Carpenter) said. “If pitchers make mistakes and get behind in counts and we can turn it on, those are the kinds of nights that we can have.”
Tuesday marks our eleventh win in 13 games. Woo hoo!
We have the Metropolitans here for two more games. Tonight RHP Shelby Miller will be on the mound and then Adam Wainwright will pitch in the series finale Thursday afternoon.

REPORT: LHP John Gast set to debut Tuesday against the Mets. Click out his preview.
“He just continues to improve,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “Obviously, he had a very good April, and hopefully he can keep building on that here. He’s been just a quality pitcher. He’s got a good arm and knows how to pitch. He’s smart.”
Ty Wigginton slides @ home.

ST. LOUIS –New guy – Ty Wigginton – We got this veteran infielder from Philly during the offseason. I remember reading about Wigginton when he got here and how proud he said he was to get a chance to become part of the Cardinal legacy. He said he was so excited to play at Busch Stadium in front of us (Cardinal fans). Bet he got wind of our appreciation (noise) Monday. Welcome Ty!
Wigginton has been that guy on the bench just doing his job. We always knew he was there, but Monday night we really got to see him contribute! Wigginton’s seventh ininng pinch hit really came through for our Cards when he scored from second on an infield single and broke a 3-all tie to give us the lead. Ty is a former PS Met too!
“As I was breaking to third, I saw Buck going after the ball,” Wigginton said. “I knew home plate was going to be open, so I took a chance.” The gamble paid off. Wigginton slid into home as the go-ahead run before Rice could retreat to the plate and make a tag. “That was outstanding baserunning, heads-up awareness of knowing where the guys were,” Carp2 (M. Carpenter) said. “That was a big play for us.” It was that momentum that we were looking for in the game. The differencemaker. .
Afterwards, MattyHo (chill you know the drill & that nickname is just in FUN!) got busy with his bat. Matt Holliday provided a cushion to that one-run advantage when, two batters later, he drilled a Scott Atchison slider 425 feet into the stands in left-center for a 6-3 lead. It was Holliday’s sixth home run of the year.
RHP Lance Lynn was on the mound for us in this contest. After a start that had some struggle to it, he settled in nicely.
“I was throwing the ball where I wanted to, just missing off a little bit [off the plate],” Lynn said. “I couldn’t get them to chase it early on. When you’re walking five guys in the first few innings, it comes back to get you.”
After a pair of innings in which the two starters combined to throw 99 pitches, the game then drastically turned course. Beginning with the final out of the second, Lynn retired 16 of the next 18 batters he faced. That included a stretch of 13 straight until Murphy’s two out single in the seventh.
“We know from his history that he’s a guy who can go deeper into his pitch count and shows that he stays strong,” Matheny said. “He looked good there late once he did find his timing. He found a way.” .

REPORT: 5/12/13 RHP JAKE WESTBROOK was put on the 15-day disabled list with a right elbow inflammation. Click it out to learn more about Westy. LHP John Gast called up from Triple-A Memphis to take up his place in the lineup.
.
ST. LOUIS — WOW (Words of Wisdom) from Ricky Horton, “We wanted to see a no-hitter this weekend, well. . .” Sunday we learned just how it feels to be on the other side of a pitching gem. Rockies’ left-hander Jorge De La Rosa allowed just two hits over seven shutout innings. Cards’ LHP Garcia started and would like a couple of pitches back – Rockies got on the board when Troy Tulowitzki ripped a three-run homer and Charlie Blackmon hit a 2-run dinger to lead the Rockies to an 8-2 win.
Garcia gave up a season-high five earned runs on eight hits over six innings. He’ll be okay. Garcia had just come off of a very good outing May 5 in Milwaukee (yeah on the road!). Click out what Manager Mike said about his lefty’s performance.
“I made a couple mistakes and I paid the consequences,” Garcia said. “They have a really good lineup.”
Our Cardinals had only a few offensive highlights in this game. One was from Freeser (Freese) who put a halt to the no-no with his sharply hit single in the seventh inning. Freeser appears to be rounding back into form and that’s good to see. He’s looking at 3-for-9 on the current 10-game homestand. “He’s taking better swings, he’s more patient,” Matheny said. “He’s getting some confidence up there too.” Monday we open a four-game series with the NY Mets (a little/lotta Pond Scum!) Lance Lynn will take the mound for the series opener. Our Cards will face NY’s Jeremy Hefner. It will be the first time we’ve ever faced him (you know how we are w/first-time pitchers. No jinx!). Click out this United Cardinals Blogger preview of the Cards/Mets series. It’s interesting baseball! . ST. LOUIS – Waino was right there pitching one of his “masterpieces” Saturday. No-hits through 7 1/3 innings. Allowed only two singles after that – one in the eighth and one in the ninth inning. Pitched a CGSO. Click out how Carp2 worked very awesome defense to save the no-no for his mate.
Wainwright said he was motivated by Miller’s strong effort (see – Friday night). Waino talks about his flirt with a no-no.
“When you follow Roger Clemens in the rotation like I have been, it makes you focus a little bit more,” he said, referring to Miller. “These young guys are pushing me. And I appreciate it.” .
ST. LOUIS –RHP Shelby Miller pitched a gem – and you’re right, he’s a rookie! After he allowed a lead-off single he retired the following 27 batters & 13 Ks. It was called “a one-hit wonder.” Miller’s first big-league shut-out. Pitched a CGSO!
“This was definitely the best game I’ve ever thrown,” Miller said. “This was a start I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”
