Stranger things have happened. And I wouldn't put it past Carp to make it so.

That was a difficult read, even by sportswriting standards.

The fact Strauss broke it is a bit off-putting. But it makes sense that Carp would see the pen and say "F--- it, I'm coming back."

Also Spring is the perfect time for the awakening of a dormant Carp boner.

Not surprised that he's trying it. I will be surprised if it works out. I hope it does. Carp is awesome and would be a great fit for this team.

It read like a set of style cliches cribbed from a Journalism 101 class, blended with the six mantric snark memes from his Twitter posts.heyzeus wrote:Indeed, even by Strauss standards.Serpent wrote:That was a difficult read, even by sportswriting standards.

Even if he comes back (which I think is a long shot), I'm highly skeptical of him providing a meaningful contribution to the bullpen. Last season in the playoffs he looked brutal. His command was extremely inconsistent.
