Thought I'd get the ball rollin on this...GO PHILS!

Roy Halladay's been waiting his whole career for this, the single biggest game the big-game pitcher's ever hurled. I predict Phils 5 Cards 2. GO PHILLIES!

Good breakdown of both pitchers:
Here are opponents' numbers by out against Halladay:

Split G PA AB R H 2B 3B HR BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS
0 outs 32 345 322 13 97 15 1 4 10 72 .301 .324 .391 .716
1 out 32 301 279 31 64 6 1 0 10 62 .229 .254 .258 .512
2 outs 32 287 271 19 47 6 2 6 15 86 .173 .220 .277 .496

Conversely, Carpenter is worse with more outs. First batters reached only six times in his 32 starts. And leadoff batters overall hit .217/.250/.291. But Carpenter has a tougher time finishing innings.

Split G PA AB R H 2B 3B HR BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS
0 outs 34 326 308 19 71 6 1 5 11 61 .231 .259 .305 .564
1 out 34 345 309 35 84 15 2 3 25 61 .272 .330 .362 .693
2 outs 34 325 304 40 88 12 1 8 19 69 .289 .335 .414 .750

So if Halladay is consistently recording the first out without damage, it's a sign things could go very well for the pitcher given his history. Then again, maybe a Cardinal lashes a two-out solo home run and the Phillies lose, 1-0. Anything can happen because it's Game 5.

One last tidbit: Halladay is 45-18 with a 2.59 ERA in 84 career games started with an extra day of rest. In 2011, he was 7-1 with a 2.29 ERA in 10 starts with an extra day.

I've got a good feeling that a BIG inning is coming here for Philly... :D

BTW, the next time Puma is up check out where the Phils' Defense is playing him. Howard was almost half-way in foul territory... :lol:

Looked real good off the bat! :(

I get the feeling that Carpenter will have to dragged off the mound if LaRussa tries to come get him for any reason...

Three straight breaking balls to Punto that were absolutely filthy. Makes Carp lead off 8th...

And is there anyway we'll see Ryan Franklin pitch tonite? :twisted:
