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):

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 more Shady making up Shritz as he goes, hoping the pickle sticks to the window and wins the race to the bottom.
I think I'll watch Billy Madison soon.

Gonna have to put that one right up there with Walker = Frank Robinson; Gorman = Eddie Mathews; Burleson = Tony Gwynn; and Yepez = "a prime-Pujols." Amazing. Do you ever comp Cardinals prospects to players who
aren't Hall of Famers or red jackets?

you crone on and on about "talking baseball", but there are pages upon pages, and walls of text on this website/forum with you hurling continuous insults at every single poster who disagrees with you....we've all grown tired of you. I only find you slightly funny now...thus my laughing at you.
When you decide to actually talk baseball...real baseball, It'll get better for you. And until you do, don't tell others to do something you aren't willing to do. Cranny will back us up on that one.

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):

Great video, thanks. I know some don't like my comps. But I see some Tom Seaver in Roby.
Tom Seaver?
Gonna have to put that one right up there with Walker = Frank Robinson; Gorman = Eddie Mathews; Burleson = Tony Gwynn; and Yepez = "a prime-Pujols." Amazing. Do you ever comp Cardinals prospects to players who
aren't Hall of Famers or red jackets?
And...Victor Scott is Lou Brock!
All Cardinal prospects = HOF players!
Who do you comp Scott to? Show some ballzz for a change.
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.

Teams SPs only average about 5 1/3 IP per start.

John Tudor Drew Rom pitches for Memphis soon.
Steve Garvey Thomas Saggese isn't doing great at Memphis.
and one of my all-time favorites, Andre Pallante is the "Right-handed version of Chris Carpenter"
So what if I'm right or wrong? I'm just having some fun talking Cardinals baseball. Why is that such a big deal with a Guru like you? You seem to take all this too seriously. Relax.
Like I posted earlier. You are a respected Cardinals baseball Guru. Maybe you should let that be enough instead of trying to insult those lower than your lofty status.
you crone on and on about "talking baseball", but there are pages upon pages, and walls of text on this website/forum with you hurling continuous insults at every single poster who disagrees with you....we've all grown tired of you. I only find you slightly funny now...thus my laughing at you.
When you decide to actually talk baseball...real baseball, It'll get better for you. And until you do, don't tell others to do something you aren't willing to do. Cranny will back us up on that one.
Guru, you are pretty good at reporting baseball. Not particularly good at analyzing it. But leave the personal theatrics alone. I am not a threat to your dynasty on CT.

You are, somehow, way too freakishly obsessed with my posting. Whatever "floats your boat", I guess.
