A big start for Roby tonight with the trade dealine looming. And the potential for a spot or two opening up in the starting rotation in the falrly near future.

Your likely right on. But ir would be nice for Roby to get a "taste of the bigs" with a spot start or two in '25. He has tremendous pitching tools.

He's not ready for that.

4.91 ERA/1.32 WHiP at Memphis since his promotion

Career 4.41 ERA over 5 minor league seasons. He hasn’t earned a taste of anything. Just another one of your weird obsessions stemming from your low baseball IQ.

I see you're bored and MSN doesn't have lifted Cardinal stories for you to Copy.

The innovation is "Fill In the Blank"...."obviously"
Stop acting like an A Hole. You post a hundred times a day, yet you constantly find the need to mock Shady. It’s beneath you, a guy as smart as you should surely be able to figure out how to use the ignore function.

I wonder how many people here have watched Roby or Mathews pitch on any regular basis? Duce does a lot. I do less often, but still quite a bit. They aren't ready, as neither has control.

5 and 2/3 innings of shutout pitching for Roby tonight at AAA. 23 years old. Surely, ole' dummy Shady couldn't have it figured out with Roby like he did with Burleson. LOL

Yet, it appears you have. Glad we can still talk. Not too late for Roby to win CYA, don’t you think?

All you’ve done is shown what a loser you are. I guess it’s your way of building your low self esteem.
