But he has great stuff, right? Unfortunately he can’t pitch worth a lick.

What "stuff" do you mean? It's not his pitching ability.

The Cardinals are their own worst enemy. They are afraid to give somebody else a chance, anybody. They have made so many mistakes, then what would make them think that another choice can do poorer than some of the guys who have already indicated that they are not ready? They are facing 0-6 on the road trip (Skenes tomorrow) and that stadium will be empty this weekend. The lineup needs to change whereby it is lengthened. Its built for 3-4 runs despite what the hitting stats may indicate and it is DULL. Reminds me of them counting on Matt Carpenter to lead the Cardinals to the World Series, a Joke.

Roycroft never should have come north. Better options right now at Memphis.

His mechanics are all over the map.
One game he has command and the next he’s all over the place.
I realize that I’m only watching from afar but I keep wondering about coaching and leadership?
Hey....at least so far I’m encouraged by the new hitting coach!

Not to defend Roycroft after today's embarrassment, but Mikolas WISHES he had stuff like Roycroft. Maybe Miles would benefit some from not necessarily knowing where the next pitch is gonna be.

Roycroft and Fernandez need tickets to Memphis but SloMo will wait until they cost the team a half dozen games apiece to do it. :oops:
