In what is supposed to be a "reset" season for the St. Louis Cardinals, I wonder if this marketing pitch to fans and media will lead to more legitimate opportunities for their younger, less experienced starting pitchers. Or will it be the outdated, old-school approach as usual?

More MLB teams are transitioning to six-man rotations for larger segments of the season. And because of that and other factors, MLB starting pitchers are now making their starts after five days of rest instead of the standard four days of rest. This is an obvious trend over the last several seasons, as MLB teams evolve. But the Cardinals have been slow to evolve, and their insistence on keeping five-man rotation in 2025 would offer another example of their close-minded outlook and an unwillingness to adapt.

I don't know about you, but I think 2025 is ideal time clearing rotation spots for Michael McGreevy, Quinn Mathews and possibly Tink Hence (later in rge season) just to name a few. There are others.

And with good young starting -pitching prospects making their way to St. Louis, this situation demands creating opportunities -- and one obvious way to do that is by going with a six-man rotation.

There are numerous benefits to utilizing the six-man setup -- and I explain that, and more, in today's video. Thank you.
