That is just stupid

He was been awesome so far

I expect his ERA to rise a bit as he pitches more but he certainly has pitched enough this year to know what to expect out of him.

Well, either you play by the rules, or you accept that he's nowhere fricking close to the 6th lowest ERA in the AL, because if you throw out the qualifiers, he has the 66th best ERA. That's a fact.
And a rule that's in the MLB official rules can hardly be considered arbitrary.

Since we are going by no-qualified pitchers.... I see 66th best ERA now. Facts are facts...

c'mon, this is a pointless and stupid argument
Moving on,
Is Houston rumored to be in on Upton?
And if your an astro fan, would you rather have a deal to get: Ramirez,Parra/Gomez. Or Upton? I know Ramirez has been hitting the ball, he started off really bad, but when he gets hot, the guy can carry a team.

don't know, guy has shown he can get people out, and Lilliquest is doing another hell of a job with the staff.
Not sure, but Lilliquest is not getting the love he should. He's done a hell of a job with all arms, not just older rejects and has beens, like duncan did.
He has his young kids on target as well as the vets on the staff.

The better question is when was the last time the Cardinals needed a big deadline move

It's science.

Off topic flame
Always thought it was ironic that as a fan of the Raiders in NFL you would beat the drum about your high picks and young talent and being promising, then lose a shite ton of games
But as mlb fan, you are a fan of a powerhouse, but shite on teams like the Cubs and Astros have built their systems with YOUNG, PROMISING players.
Anyways, think I read Cischeck has been hot since being called back up.

I don't think I've ever even posted about the Astros, and the Cubs should be self explanatory, frick the Cubs.

He pitched Saturday and Monday 3 innings no runs 3 K but Philly and AZ too. Before that hadn't pitched since the 7th. So idk.
I'd pass.

Just because you don't go for the big name player doesn't mean you couldn't use the big name player. Like imagine how scary Cardinals could be if they could trot out Cueto, Matinez, Lynn, Lackey, wacha right now while Garcia continues to come back. Then move Martinez or wacha to the bullpen to keep their innings in check.

and the arbitrary rules to qualify.
do you know what arbitrary means? Or do you now just understand the rule?
for him to qualify for an ERA title, he'll have to pitch in at least 162 innings.
for him, right now, to qualify for the league leaders in ERA, he has to have thrown 96 IP.
technically, those are the facts.
