Pallante Strikes Again

[stlbirdlover]

He just sucks 5.1 innings 8H 5ER. I wish they would shut him down for the season and call someone up!

Who? The throwers in Memphis all suck more than Pallante. Jackass Johnny Mo has decided the top guys (Wetherholt and Matthews) aren't coming up.

I don't think they should bring up either. Wetherholt can't fix the bleeding and Matthews isn't ready. neither must be protected for Rule 5, but early promotion will force Rule 5 losses in December; too many to protect.

Wetherholt may be tiring from the long season.
He was 0 for 5 tonight.

Man! Has AP reverted/regressed to the mean/average? Or what? His early season success is looking like a statistical outlier.

9.26 ERA in August (3 starts)

6.31 since the beginning of July, but his first start in Juy was outstanding, 7 innings of 1-hit shutout ball. Since that start his ERA is 7.60. That's over 7 starts.

He needs some time out of the rotation to get himself right. I don't know who would step up. Hell, put Curtis Taylor on the 40-man and bring him up.

[MizTruBlueLuvzU]

His starts are tough to sit through. He does battle and I do appreciate his effort, that's apparent. But he's not big league quality.

If it happens 50 more times, they will notice and perhaps do something.

They aren't trying to win though, so...

Correct. Call up Taylor.

Pallante's September needs to be a lot better for me to be comfortable with him in the rotation. If he still blows, then I don't count on him to be more than a spot starter type.

[reson8]

He's had 55 starts at this level. Still cannot throw strikes often enough. Falls behind, 2-0, 3-0,-3-1 to way too many hitters. Has to go to FB and ends up getting torched. Will be 27 next month. He'll stay in the rotation the rest of this season as long as he's healthy. Maybe he figures it out. Next spring there will be more competition for a rotation spot (I'm making a big assumption that Bloom is sharper than POBO) and he may find himself back in Memphis or DFA.

[skeezix]

Pallante will bounce around MLB after next year, never finding a home. Then, he will become your prototypical State Farm agent.

[Absolut]

Not sure Pallante and strikes belong in the same subject line.

Great point! Cards fans will need to show patience. It will be very interesting what player moves Bloom makes in the off season. Matthews and JJ will get a very good look in spring training.

Unlike most Pallante pitches, this is pretty much on target.

Tied with Fedde for least pleasant starting pitcher to watch since Dakota Hudson.

He will hopefully be competing for the 5th rotation spot in ST next year... I'd guess they make him 6th starter/swing man if he doesn't earn the spot.
