Rom sucks hard.
The box score doesn't actually do justice to how bad he was. I didn't see him make a single big league caliber pitch in the 2 innings I watched. And I didn't even see the 4th when he really got bombed. |

For what it's worth, Rob Friedman, aka Pitching Ninja, didn't profile Rom and he typically will showcase a debut if they display a pitch he likes.

Today's Immaculate Grid could feature a number of shitbirds from the last truly terrible Cardinals rotation (2007). Definitely getting an '07 vibe from this collection of starters.

I saw no hint of a deceptive delivery. His fastball control was okay, except they were basically sitting on a tee at 91.

Bill DeWitt could set a billion dollars on FIRE and still be worth over a billion and still have more money than he or his children will ever spend. This team makes, conservatively, $50 million/season when they draw around 3 million fans. **** off with all this pity party bullshit for poor Bill DeWitt. He could absorb the $35 million 'damage' from a Strasburg mistake and STILL make an operating profit every year. To say nothing of the equity stake in his team. God I hate the BFIB. |

20-3 runs scored this weekend. Yet, Motter is in the lineup daily over Gorman and Waller at 3rd base. Their natural positions.

Now has his ERA down to 2.63 at Memphis. I just think they prospect crowd slept on the kid. I put Kloff at 5th on our prospect lists after the deals were made - ahead of McGreavy and every other guy we got in at the deadline. The MLB Pipline update had him at an absolutely foolish 25th. That was AFTER the deadline. Just a completely asinine ranking and tells me what I said before the update - they aren't paying attention to him. They wrote him off and that's that. Maybe he's not THIS good, but he's a damn sight closer to where I had him than they did. I'd be surprised if a good faith analysis of the kid over the offseason doesn't have him at/near the top 10. I see no reason at all to think he's not going to pitch in the big leagues next season. |
