Matt Carpenter Deserves To Start In NLDS

For many, the narrative on Matt Carpenter‘s season was written weeks before the Cardinals clinched the Central last Sunday. Entering September, Carpenter was hitting .219/.329/.374, had been on the IL multiple times, and benched in favor of Tommy Edman. The idea that Carpenter was finished as a productive major-league hitter was not without merit: he started and finished 2018 poorly and had yet to look like himself in 2019. In a span of 11 baseball months, he’d been productive in three of them. Of course, those three months were historically good.
