I read the bold and immediately thought whaaaaaa??? They don't have a rookie in their rotation, and surely they aren't replacing one of their starters right now... What Steve was TRYING to say is that this is the 7th Cardinals rookie (position or pitcher) to make their debut this season. Way to just completely butcher the facts Steve. Maybe he uses "pitcher" to refer to any player the way some people use "Coke" to mean any soda. :DI've never heard anyone do this, ever. It's a southern thing.
