With Robberse going down, any chance Roby gets promoted?

[Absolut]

Teams SPs only average about 5 1/3 IP per start.
Last year the high was 5.82 by the Mariners (well ahead of #2 KC at 5.62). The low was 4.65 by the Tigers. The middle was 5.18.
This year the high is 5.81 (KC) and the low is the mighty Dodgers (4.61 - who were 21st in 2024 with 4.92).

The Cards are 5th this year at 5.5 and 8th last year at 5.44.

Summary - a pitcher that goes 5 innings isn't that unusual.

As for Roby, he's been hurt as much as healthy, so I'd hope they make him a reliever.

Per Fangraphs (pre-season):
Fastball = 50 / 50
Slider = 55 / 55
Curveball = 70 / 70
Changeup = 60 / 60
Command =30 / 40
Prospects TLDR: Roby has the stuff to be a mid-rotation starter, but whether or not he can stay healthy enough is another matter.

Here's a video of his 11K performance, which shows his stuff (the curve and esp. the change-up look great): https://www.mlb.com/video/tekoah-roby-s-11-strikeouts

Great video, thanks. I know some don't like my comps. But I see some Tom Seaver in Roby.

How do you see tom Seaver? Explain

By his delivery. Watch some Tom Seaver on YouTube. You'll see the resemblance. Maybe not Just my opinion.

I don’t see roby dropping and driving like Seaver

It's certainly too early to comp him to a Hall of Fame player.

What I will do is see how this entire season plays out before making any declarations.

However, if I were to do a comp today and if I'm being positive, I think Willie Davis or Amos Otis. Two very fast, base-stealing, GG Centerfielders. Of course, Otis was right-handed, but still similar speed & defense as Scott.

While I'll wait a while for any final judgements, I simply don't see Lou Brock.
