Chris Carpenter's Struggles Continue
Chris O'Leary has a quick breakdown of Chris Carpenter's pitching mechanics and says:
"The way Chris Carpenter's shoulders start to rotate before his Pitching Arm Side (PAS) forearm is vertical places more load on his elbow and shoulder than they are able to handle, which is why they keep breaking.
Nothing will improve significantly until the Cardinals stop focusing on the symptoms of Chris Carpenter's problems and instead start focusing on the root cause of his problems, which is his problematic pitching mechanics.
In fact, it may be too late to make a significant positive impact on the health of Chris Carpenter's arm. The rapid rate at which he is experiencing problems suggests to me that he may be stuck in a downward spiral.
Which would totally suck."

Will he hold up if he moves to the pen?
I’ve been advising to my friends who are StL fans that he should move to the pen to save his shoulder and elbow.
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.

I doubt
that will help, in fact I would predict it would make it much worse.

Limiting his innings will help, but it won’t stop the root cause.

ugh
We are just about to kick the mark mulder contract off the books, and now we have to start paying for carpenter’s extended vacation.
Space.
It's a problem we face.
So we never go anywhere.
We just stay in one place.
