Chris Carpenter Good Quotations

I didn't make very many good pitches in the second inning,

I had pretty good sink on my fastball, my cutter was good, my breaking ball was good.

It was frustrating last year not to be a part of it, but you know, I'm excited about it and looking forward to tomorrow night and competing against a quality club. These guys have been playing well and they have got a good team and we've got to go and play our best baseball.

It was a strange night. I put good swings on two balls and hit them hard. It was nice, but it would have been nice to win.

Each start is a new start, a new game, ... I can't take anything from the last game into this next one except to continue to try to throw strikes down in the strike zone. I feel like my stuff is pretty good and I feel like I was able to control counts and I'm going to try to do that again.

Their guy did a pretty good job tonight, obviously.

I made some bad pitches and even the good ones got hit. No matter what you say about it, it's unacceptable.
