RHP Miles Mikolas (6-9, 4.99) vs. RHP Adrian Houser (6-4, 2.67)
FanDuel // KMOXNote that Saturday is an off day due to football facility conflict.
Why are they still running Mikolas out there at this point?
They can’t trade him, they aren’t going to re-sign him – are there literally zero guys at AAA that could share his remaining starts between them for the season just to get a look or two at a few guys?
Is it 100% tied to 40 man roster issues?
There isn’t anybody else. They would have to put together a piggyback/pen game every 5 days. All the stuff guys the org loves so much craped out with injuries. I’m convinced the only reason McGreevey, with his ho hum stuff and not a lot of swing and miss, has ever gotten a chance is his tendency to be the last man standing. He did stay on the mound enough to get in the innings it takes to learn how to pitch rather than relying on just throwing it past guys until the arm blows out which seems to be the org’s MO with pitchers.
I suppose pitching everything 90+ is the mode these days. If you throw less you better have some big movement on it. The more the better. If it hangs you’re gonna get lit up! Still need runs to win consistently. I hear Steinbrenner field game Sat would conflict with Bucs preseason game across the Street.Too much traffic hassle so game rescheduled.Could you imagine both letting out at the same time?

Nolan Arenado said this afternoon he hopes to begin taking swings by Friday and is optimistic he'll be able to start a throwing program next week. He plans to play again this season, though that timetable is still TBD.

#STLCards LF Alec Burleson has been scratched from tonight’s starting lineup because of right wrist discomfort. He injured his wrist on an awkward swing in Thursday’s win.
Rookie Nathan Church starts in CF and Lars Nootbaar moves to LF.

TB base running blunder right before a HR and an automatic double that bounced over the fence means Mikolas only gives up one first inning run instead of three.
Down early again. At least this team has plenty of experience playing from behind.We were lucky to escape the first inning with only one run. Mikolas looking labored to me. Like hes really not into the game. His pitching stats really aren’t that bad. If he gets some run support he could look pretty good.
