Tyler Austin saves the day.

I just find it amusing that Chris Carter's replacement went 0-for-3 with 2 strikeouts and a GIDP.

Austin will probably be better than Carter, but not much better.

Carter was low-risk/low-reward the whole time. He wasn't supposed to start at first base. He probably can contribute some power to a major league team as a pinch hitter vs. left-handed pitchers, play a little backup first base.

So I'm certainly not crying about his departure ... I am baffled by the negative attention he received in the first place.
