The #STLCards have recalled RHP Matt Svanson and optioned RHP Chris Roycroft to Triple-A Memphis, per the club. Svanson will be available tonight when the Cards host the #Dbacks.
Let's hope we never see Roycroft again.

Is that the one with the apple-something dessert? Ate quite a few of those in law school. Lol

I get that they are going to rotate for that 8th BP spot.
That means Munoz, Roycroft, O’Brien, and Svanson I guess.
Would like to see more of Svanson and Munoz.
Maybe O’Brien?
Roycroft>Noooooooooooo
If nothing else at least do something about his awful mechanics!
Slinging the ball while falling off the mound isn’t working.
His last outing he walked the leadoff hitter on a 3-2 pitch that was 4 feet outside!!

Man I cut processed foods out of my diet by about 95% over a decade ago and WOW, no more bloating, gas, inflammation. It's amazing how awful that stuff is for you and most of us (such as myself 2 decades ago) have no idea how much added garbage is put into those things.

But that 4 feet outside pitch was his unhittable go to.

O'Brien has proven he can't pitch in this league, and so has Roycroft, so Svanson needs to prove he belongs or else bring back Munoz. Point being O'Brien and Roycroft don't pitch no more for the Cards ever regardless how Svanson and/or Munoz does.

And to be fair, he had seen Walker swing at one that wide to K earlier in the game.
