Well Bling – the reason for optimism with Mathews is that his walk rate, K:BB ratio, innings pitched and WHIP all improved as he jumped up a level.
He is now third on Peoria with 58 strikeouts, and has half as many walks as the next lowest starter.
He should have one more start in Peoria, after which he should have the team lead in strikeouts. Then move him up a level.
The #stlcards system was 3-2 on Sunday. The Cardinal Nation’s Player of the Day is Springfield C Jimmy Crooks who was 3-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored. Other standouts were Quinn Mathews, Luken Baker, Matt Lloyd, and Sammy Hernandez. https://t.co/o6IXShUfMP pic.twitter.com/jwEiZG6xMO

Bling…. I hear what you are saying about lights out HiA pitchers. Mathews could be the next Flaherty-type guy. Anyway for now I wait for his turn comes up and enjoy noting his GS#. I’d like to keep him in Peoria and have him move up to AA for his last three or four starts.
With Hence’s status now up in the air….. all eyes will be on Mathews.
I’d like to keep him in Peoria and have him move up to AA for his last three or four starts.
Why would you like to keep him in Peoria?
Hence, apparently, has not been assigned to IL.

I have a trip to Peoria planned for late July and will try to see Mathews if he’s still there.Over the years we have seen a hoard of pitchers who can throw it past A level hitters come through the Cardinals system
Mathews has already been promoted to Springfield with Bedell in AAA and Hence in limbo so you will get an answer to your question, but won’t be able to see him in Peoria.
He has a very high K rate, which tends to drive up the pitch count.
Regarding this quote, I believe Mathews leads all of minor league baseball in Ks. That’s a little more impressive than the ‘hoard’ of pitchers we’ve had over the years.
