That's funny the Cardinals were whining about the lights and stealing signs. I remember they have cried in the past about the pitcher's mound in GABP, the baseballs were rubbed up wrong once and Carpenter threw a sissy-fit about the smoke after someone took him deep to set off the fireworks.
Tony has a problem with everything that goes against the Cardinals.
It's the baseballs not being rubbed down
It's the mounds
It's the lighting
It's the up-and-tight pitching
It's the tar on the cap
It's the announcers that don't apologize
It's the showboating
It's the dirty hands
It's the stealing signs
It's the fake Twitter accounts
It's the fatherly advice
It's the players union
It's the on-deck batter that didn't move
It's one thing after another with this man
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
All I can go by is what was said in a local interview with one of the Cardinals insiders. Carpenter was responding to what your announcer said about "whining" on the field. He told the reporter that he was willing to pitch through the smoke but the ump came to him and told him not to throw.
It was the same thing with the mound. The umpire came up to Carpenter between innings asking if something needed to be put down on the mound to make it easier to pitch. He didn't really lobby for it. Even if he did, he isn't the first pitcher in the history of baseball to ask for dirt to be put on a wet mound. It happens all the time. Carpenter didn't understand the issue that your broadcaster had. Your broadcaster just seemed to react to the situation without knowing the whole story.
I'll criticize them when they need to be criticized. Lord knows how many times I have criticized them this year on several things in my conversations with other Cards fans. However I would also suggest that people get the whole story on an issue instead of getting the side of a broadcaster that may have blown a gasket. You may hate Carp but that doesn't mean his explanation isn't right.
After seeing two of our players injured because pitchers can't pitch effectively inside this season, I see his point about pitching near the head.
The Reds are not making the playoffs.
GO BREWERS! Frustrate the dog poo out of these babies!!
