Carpenter doesn't do anything well at all. He just ran into an obvious out at home plate because along with his hitting and defense his base running sucks.
And how Mabry still has a job is the 8th wonder of the world. [Reply]

isnt Gyrko currently batting an All-Star type line? Martinez is an all star this year. It’s either for Wong or until Gyrko cools off. But we know that’s never going to happen.
They are pitching Carp outside. Big time shift is on. Why doesn’t he just flip/guide the ball through that wide open side of the field? [Reply]

Only hitting like .420 in limited at bats.
Carpenter and Fowler both need to hit the bench. Gyrko can replace Carpenter and one of the young guys can out perform Fowler in the outfield at his point.
Someone needs to make a statement you wont get playing time if you keep sucking.
Instead we keep running guys out there hitting .170. [Reply]
