They would need to get around his inability to not suck after his 2nd out. Can that be done?
Unless Ian Bedell is the second coming of Christ during his rehab, we have to use Mikolas....for now. You can't pen hopes on a AAA reliever who couldn't cut it as a starter last year, nor can you pen hopes on Roby for the two reasons I stated, but you refuse to accept. The IL is a real thing...and 7 Day IL in the minors doesn't mean it's toe nail

Now answer the question. Do you or do you not know that Munoz was a bad starter with Miami?
And do you or do you not know what the IL is and that Roby is on it?

Re: So Marmol is actually running Mikolas back out there
On multiple other OP/threads that you’ve started in just the last hour alone, you’ve advocated for the Cardinals to be hard sellers at the deadline, so why are you so concerned about finding immediate “solutions” for replacing Mikolas (and his considerable innings contribution) “pronto” this season?Shady wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025 18:01 pmSo what's your solution?

Re: So Marmol is actually running Mikolas back out there
I know a helluva lot more than you realize or care to admit. By the way, you "missed the boat" again on Burleson this season. He's a very good MLB hitter whether you realize it or not. lolcraviduce wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025 18:15 pmAwfully defensive. I was merely giving you an enlightening conversation.

Re: So Marmol is actually running Mikolas back out there
in the meantime...Mikolas still has to pitch for 3 more outtings until they get stretched out....Matz will be traded by then.
