Looper

[reggiemiller rules]

I know it is early and he has only pitched twice, but he has only given up 1 run in 6 innings as a starter. He was quite impressive today not giving up any runs in 3.1 innings with a strong wind blowing out. Heck the wind even helped Skip Schumaker hit 2 home runs it has to be a hell of a wind for that.

2 outings and 6 innings? That's more like relief work than starting.

Not really in your first spring training start u dont usually go over 2 or 3 innings. I still think it is a long shot that he is good as a starter, but I do believe that if he keeps pitching well the 5th spot is his to lose.

No one is throwing more than 3 plus innings yet. It doesnt surprise me that Looper will be decent this year. Typical scrap heap cardinals.

Regardless, him pitching well for 2-3 innings at a time doesn't convince me that he'll be a good starter. Let's wait and see how he does throwing 6-7 innings at a time when he's worked up to it.

I agree, his stamina and his ability to go 6 or 7 inning will determine if he gets the 5th starter job. I am just happy that he is pitching well so far.

I'm actually really pissed about it. If he and Thompson tank maybe Jocketty would swing a trade.
