Oh, please let him come back whole. I’m having a hard time dealing with the decimation of the Cards and all their injuries.

He’s close, but watching him he doesn’t seem 100% back yet. If he reaches that on the second half of the season, the Cards should be able to make a really good stretch at the NL Central or one of the Wild Cards.

Yeah, I was at yesterday’s games almost directly across the plate in center field on the Coke Deck. I was watching the pitches through binoculars, and it does seem he does still have a little control issue left to work out. It seems like all good contact that was made on his pitches yesterday were on pitches that just seemed to dangle over the middle of the plate, couldn’t tell if they were meant to be curves or fastballs, but the batters weren’t forgiving in either case.

Is curveball doesn’t seem to have the sharp (fall off the table) 12-6 break it used to.
His location (despite what is K/BB ratio indicates) still needs some work.
But he is certainly looking better over the course of the last 1 – 1/2 Months.
With Carp being out all year…the pitching staff desperately needs him to return to pre-surgery form.
