Will he continue this type of pitching or is he likely to implode? Is he going to be traded to a contender and bring a nice return? Will he lead the Cards to a surprise playoff appearance?

So many possibilities here, dontcha think?

Right there on the line. One more start before ASB and if it’s like tonight and goes 8-1 and lowers the ERA a little more he will be deserving. I’ll take the playoff appearance too!

Yes, and there has always seems to be an anti- Gray faction on CT .. the ones ready to pounce if he has a so-so outing but rarely give him praise when he pitches a game like tonight. Anybody else notice that ?

Umm I sure hope he has more than one start before the ASB

Yes. I think the "Ace" label and the huge contract make some judge him harshly sometimes. I am guilty of it occasionally. But, I certainly celebrate him deservedly after amazing starts like tonight!

Go Cards. Love beating the LAD!

Just to list a few who could/should at this time be ahead of Sonny.

BUT

Plenty of time for him to climb the list and the way he's pitching now that's a possibility.

So he is in conversation with the leagues eight best. That’s strong. Is he a league level Ace or a Cardinal Ace.

The way he's pitching now (Last 3 GS: 1.42 ERA/0.76 FiP/ 25 to 2 KO's to Walks/0.95 WHiP) he's both a league and Cardinals ACE.

If he stays hot until pitchers are named, then he's 100% in the conversation.

Right now (IMO) B. Donovan (.314 .380 .450 .830/133 OPS+/4 HR and 24 RBI's in 256 PA's) could be the all-star 2nd baseman but nationally they're pushing K. Marte (.299 .422 .606 1.028/185 OPS+/11 HR and 19 RBI's) but he's only had 154 PA's.
