you have to have pitchers who can throw a lot of innings start a game. We let Fedde go, McGreevy replaces him.
Matz could have a gotten the start with proper planning. They really need Mathews and Roby to get ready, pronto.craviduce wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025 17:25 pmyou 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
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.Shady wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025 17:40 pmMatz could have a gotten the start with proper planning.

From what I've read, the Cardinals are enamored by Roby's electric stuff. I understand why they are cautious.craviduce wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025 17:46 pmMathews...yes, I agree.

If Roby were in a system with pitching depth he would be kicking rocksShady wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025 17:49 pmFrom what I've read, the Cardinals are enamored by Roby's electric stuff.

how would they manage that? Would be the same secret Stretch Out Planning that they should've used for Matz?Shady wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025 17:53 pmActually, considering the current situation, you might be right.NYCardsFan wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025 17:52 pmTwo words: Roddery Munoz.craviduce wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025 17:46 pmMathews...yes, I agree.

So what's your solution? The only thing you've offered if giving Mikolas another start. That's truly brilliant.craviduce wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025 17:58 pmhow would they manage that?

They would need to get around his inability to not suck after his 2nd out. Can that be done?
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.Shady wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025 18:01 pmSo what's your solution?

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
