Q: Who’s a bad pitcher for the Pirates to face after spending two days making Kyle McClellan and Kyle Lohse look like Chris Carpenter?
A: Chris Carpenter
The Pirates have their first mid-week getaway game today in St. Louis with Kevin Correia and Chris Carpenter taking the mound at 1:45 ET this afternoon. As before, the key to Correia being effective is keeping the ball on the ground. He may have an easier or tougher time getting good results from that with Josh Rodriguez at shortstop instead of Ronny Cedeno, depending on what you read and what you believe about each player. None of it may matter today with Carpenter on the mound.
