Hopefully Motte has his jitters out of the way after his meltdown in game 1. I'm not going to play pessimist here. Let's just hope he has a short memory.

I'm excited to see what Carp can do. I'd say we have a good match up today, but I have no idea who Ohlendorf is. In case you're bored... here's the probables from stlcardinals.com: Quote: Thursday, April 9 Busch Stadium \| 12:40 PM CT Ross Ohlendorf, RHP (0-0, -.--) Pirates (2-1) @ Chris Carpenter, RHP (0-0, -.--) Cardinals (1-2) Scouting Report: Pirates: Ohlendorf made just five appearances in Pittsburgh last season after coming over in a six-player trade in July. But by the time he pitched for the Pirates, it was obvious arm fatigue had set in. This spring, though, has provided a better glimpse of what the Pirates hope that Ohlendorf is capable of. He has shown no hesitancy to pitch inside, and an adjustment in his delivery has him more consistent. He has a power arm, and the Pirates love the fact that he has walked just two in 22 2/3 innings. Cardinals: This will quite certainly be the biggest start made anywhere in baseball on the season's fourth day. Most clubs, after all, won't be trotting out a former Cy Young winner in the No. 4 spot in their rotations. But that's the case with the Cardinals and Carpenter, the '05 National League Cy Young and an exceptional pitcher as recently as 2006. He had an outstanding spring, allowing just four earned runs -- all of them in his final start. Assuming Carpenter stays healthy after missing nearly two full years due to elbow and shoulder problems, he's truly a top-flight starter. Edited by cardinals1982, Apr 9 2009, 09:12 AM.
