So Marmol is actually running Mikolas back out there

you have to have pitchers who can throw a lot of innings start a game. We let Fedde go, McGreevy replaces him.

There's no one left in the cupboard to replace Mikolas. Too many injured pitchers or underperforming pitchers.

So...Mikolas pitches.

Not really a circus. It's necessity

Matz could have a gotten the start with proper planning. They really need Mathews and Roby to get ready, pronto.

Mathews...yes, I agree. But his fastball command is off. Roby, as you know, is 1) on the IL, and 2) having his innings carefully monitored b/c he hasn't been over 50 IP in nearly 3 years....and he's well over 50 now.

R O B Y isn't in the equation right now...for "obvious reasons"

From what I've read, the Cardinals are enamored by Roby's electric stuff. I understand why they are cautious.

If Roby were in a system with pitching depth he would be kicking rocks

how would they manage that? Would be the same secret Stretch Out Planning that they should've used for Matz?

They would need to get around his inability to not suck after his 2nd out. Can that be done?

So what's your solution? The only thing you've offered if giving Mikolas another start. That's truly brilliant.

[sdaltons]

Here's the situation. McGreevey is a natural replacement for one SP and that one, it turns out, is Fedde.

Mikolas has to go as well but who do you replace him with? There's no depth and there hasn't been for awhile.

You can scream "bullpen start" all you want (and that includes Matz as a solution), but part of the issue is the guys we count on to eat innings aren't and there aren't enough seats on the Memphis Shuttle. We need someone to help keep innings away from the bullpen, not just guarantee them 9 in a game.

and I explained why...they probably need to get throw away players back on trades that can start innings...we only need 5 or 6 starts covered to end the season....probably watch the waiver wire.

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
