For those who went to the game - give me an idea of what this Carpentar (sp?) kid was/is? My understanding was he threw a TON of innings, therefore his stats were inflated compared to others. Did DC hit him fairly easily? All I heard/read this summer was how many K's this kid had and I had no idea what the competition was like he played against and then when I heard he pitched about twice as much as any other pitcher in the area I lost faith. Someone fill me in on their thoughts...
Wow - just read an article about the game online. How does a team give up 14 in one inning, in a substate?! Why was Wapello's ace pulled? From what I read he give up a bomb and a couple hits then a couple walks - did he lose his cool? He was their only chance and he was pulled in the 2nd so early? Sounds like the guy they brought in got shelled? Questionable coaching or not? Not that it mattered, as it sounds like the Indians were looking at way too many strikes all night - the article I read made it sound they took a lot of pitches and got behind in a lot of counts. Was Wapello's district that weak? You usually there are a couple decent teams down there in SE Iowa, but from the way this sounds - Wapello didn't belong on the same field, let alone have a prayer of winning? Yikes...
