This might be a temporary move. Munoz pitched 2 nights in a row. He could be sore.

I looked up Granillo after reading your post to find out more about him.
Looks like he’s not on the 40 man which could be the reason?

That would be logical

Don’t get the chance to see Memphis play.
So I really appreciate the info some post here on the minors!

Yep. Duce is the best

He is!
Don’t tell him that enough!

Why's that, hotshot? Why do you and so many even care? Seems it would be so easy to just ignore Shady. lol

middle guys are being overused already and needed a fresher arm. starters have been pleasant surprise and they are competitive as a team.

So far the only starter surprise really has been Libby. But he’s also gotten better peripherally every year since he’s been in the MLB, so I thought he might be a breakout candidate this year.

But other than that, Gray has pitched like he has in the past, Fedde is not much different than last year, Pallante was a good starter last year and has been the same this year, and Mikolas still sucks.

Svanson looks like he is more of a ground ball pitcher. 1.83 GO/AO ratio in his MiLB career. He Ks a decent amount, but his walks are a little concerning.
He had a 2.69 ERA in AA Springfield last season, but he played solely in relief, so ERA can be deceiving. His opponent BA/WHIP were 0.276/1.46. And his 59 Ks in 63.2 innings is merely OK. He didn't have a good ST, but that was only 3 innings and not very insightful.
Otherwise, he was fantastic in the lower levels in 2023 and he been good in AAA in his 5.2 innings. Although, his 1.24 WHIP is not quite outstanding.

He's a prospect! Not sure what to expect yet, but exciting to see!

[nonsense], Munoz was outstanding in his first appearance. The Cardinals are seeing what they have. You likely don't comprehend. No biggie.

I'll be the first to admit I don't have the acumen of a certain Red Sox scout. But I think Roddery Muñoz could be like a right handed Pedro Martinez. But larger and harder throwing, of course.

pr=edro martinez was righthanded and one of the handful of best starting pitchers ever so.....no

Svanson came via Dejong trade

Irony escapeth thee

Svanson did fine in his debut outing. Showed very good velocity and his command was very good considering the debut butterflies that he must have had plus his parents & fiance in the stands watching. Nice job !
Keith Hernandez , Mets analyst, was very complimentary to Svanson on his peppering the strike zone early .

Duce has been my "go to" source for what's going on down below that I admittedly don't spend much time on.

I feel like he’s taken for granted.
The time he spends and the info he provides is invaluable!

He was solid!
Looks like in the near future that we may see a rotating shuttle with Memphis?
Fingers crossed with Svanson.
I thought Munoz showed decent stuff but a lack of command which I guess has been his career issue?
Roycroft??? I always try to think positive but his mechanics are all over the map!
Slinging the ball and falling off the mound.
I’m no pitching coach but no wonder he can’t consistently throw strikes.

You can tell he really does his homework, he should get paid for the hard work he does on the kids but I suspect he does it because he truly loves minor league baseball.

Didn't they purposefully do that knowing that he has going to be sent down?
