But as someone noted, if you remove the horrible St. Louis outing, his ERA is a respectable 3.46. Now, the truth is that game happened, so we have to deal with it, but out of fairness, we can't let one bad outing cloud the fact that he's been a decent reliever since returning in August.
In my opinion, Majewski has looked mediocre. His stuff seems to be coming back (velocity is back up from time to time and his slider has some good bite sometimes), but it's inconsistent. His command hasn't been very good and his pitches are still up more than they should be. I think there's a chance he can get back to the solid, workhorse guy he was in 2005, but he's still got a ways to go, and I don't think we'll know how much progress he can make, anyway, till next year.But as someone noted, if you remove the horrible St. Louis outing, his ERA is a respectable 3.46.

Still, I'd like to see him -- and Salmon -- get a fair amount of work down the stretch over guys like Saarloos and Coffey, for evaluation purposes.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Cards fall to Reds, 7-2: dam Dunn hit a grand slam and a solo homer off Mark Mulder, and the Cincinnati Reds extended the St. Louis Cardinals’ losing streak with a 7-2 victory Tuesday night.
Why stop there? I you remove all of his bad outings, then his ERA is 0.00. Wait a second! I just realized that Gary Majewski's the greatest pitcher ever.
What you can't do, or at least what no sane person should do, is ignore those times when Gary Majewski gets victimized for throwing sub-mediocre garbage over the plate. He sucks, about as hard as a relief pitcher can suck. He begs for trouble in every at-bat. That sometimes it doesn't find him should not be misinterpreted for competence. He'll get cranked again soon enough.
