Quinn Mathews getting the call?

love the thread title

made me think of Lyanna Mormount

He could be getting the call up, I just find it odd to put him on 9-11 days rest...I can't remember his exact last start. But isn't that pitcher malpractice? That much rest between starts, when they don't need to be skipped?

These guys are creatures of habit...mental taboo to mess with that.

I don't think he's taking May's spot in the rotation, he very well could be taking May's spot on the 40 man.

Mathews could be pitching well before May's next go in the rotation

I thought the same but they could easily bullpen game him and let him travel. I could also see Leahy needing to be spaced out since he’s converted. Give him an extra day and let Mathews start and figure out the may and Libby as we go

[Charles King]

Could come up for a start. Extra days rest for starters. Then May is traded. If May not traded. He starts Tuesday

[renostl]

if Mathews is taking May's next start, he'd need to pitch today in the minors or majors to keep on schedule.

you don't want him waiting around for 9-10 days rest

Wouldn't slotting him in anywhere move the other SP's back a day?

Please take Libby’s spot!!! Move LIbby to the pen. We need another lefty down there!!!

lol awesome reference loved the books and the first part of the tv series but once they ran out of books for material it went down hill quickly and ended terribly

I wonder if Bloom will trade more than one starter…

My guess Pallante will draw some interest.

Fior a team that can score runs he makes a very competitive number three starter.

Yea, him and Leahy both could. No idea what to make of them or where they fit into the plan. Pallante’s past seems to be good every other year.

2026: 3.72 ERA
2025: 5.31 ERA
2024: 3.78 ERA
2023: 4.76 ERA
2022: 3.17 ERA

Because of the team control factor and because I believe Leahy has a higher ceiling I'm hoping they refrain from moving him unless of course they are overwhelmed with an offer.

He was originally supposed to pitch today, but Brandt Thompson and Jared Shuster will now be pitching the double header for Memphis.

Per Jeff Jones twitter:

“The Cardinals originally said that Quinn Mathews would pitch today for Memphis. They now list Brandt Thompson and Jared Shuster as their starters for their doubleheader. Mathews does not appear through Sunday. Marmol said he would update the rotation postgame. #AClue”

Could this mean a call-up is imminent?

-Is a deal for D. May in the works?

-Is he replacing Libby in the rotation?

-What about H. Dobbins, wasn't he the likely replacement when May is dealt?

Stay Tuned

- May will be traded
- Libby will be put into the bullpen after Jo Jo, Stanek and O'Brien are also traded.
- Mathews will get called up and start
- Dobbins will start

Avert your eyes from the bullpen for the rest of 2026

Pages and Stanek will get traded for high octane bullpen arms with current control issues. But setting up for the 2027 bullpen.

At least one, maybe 2 other bigger deals will be made for the Cardinals. 3B, OF, Starting pitcher prospects heading this way if both are made.

Don't get too attached to Herrera. Embrace Crooks and Bernal as your catchers...

... or nothing will happen and we wait til off season and a CBA to trade.

Stay tuned

[Mort Gage]

Just announced as Saturday's starter, per MLBTR.

LOL...They dropped this tidbit and I had to chuckle.

The St. Louis rotation has managed to stay healthy all year.

dobbins cant be recalled for 20 days from when we sent him down.

quinn matthews has tp be added to 40 man roster this offseason anyway so adding him now wouldnt really mess up anything 40 man wise from adding too early.
