I’m thankful they brought Roycroft back. Now we have a decent right handed option when we’re behind. It doesn’t have to be Gallegos.
An interesting stat is how many games a pitcher has started did the team win. Gray and Lynn are tied with 10. Mikolas and Gibson are tied with 8. Winning doesn’t matter, of course, the metrics wonks tell us that.
I think Pages gets sent down. I just can’t see Herrera going down. But in my opinion, they are close to equals and Pages might be the better balance for Contreras.
Bling, in general, I like the stat on starts where a team wins. Although it still is subject to error because for whatever reason, the Cardinals have scored very few runs for Mikolas in most games every year.
Once again Goldschmidt failed with runners in scoring position. As I noted earlier, he is 2nd worst on the team.
I also tend to look at a team’s W/L record during a pitcher’s turn in the rotation. In particular I recall in ’22 the Cardinals at one point were 9-1 in games started by Jose Quintana. He was like a rabbit’s foot for a while there.
More stats for you . . .
With a minimum of 80 plate appearances with runners in scoring position this year, Goldschmidt is in 86th place out of 87 qualifying hitters. The only one worse: our old friend Paul DeJong.

And why was it Ollie had him in the cleanup slot?
Holy cow, Gorman with an RBI. Nice one Gormy.
I almost always like the sac-bunt, but that was not only bad time to use it, but also a lousy effort by DC. I hope it comes back to hurt them.
4 hits for Nolan Sr. Nice to see that. Man, if we could just get 1 of the big bloopers going besides Contreras.
