Great inside sinker. ---

Scherz is making a lot of pitches. Lets see if he can last more than five innings. ---

He sure is making a lot of pitches. ---

Scherzer is making great pitches. Fairly good command. ---

Waino’s sweeping curveball is hitting its spots, fortunately. Got away with a pitch for out number three. ---

40 pitches for Waino is like 60 for Scherz. He’s losing his stuff ---

LA is making some noise here in the B3. ---

They’re not biting on the curve out of the zone, and Waino’s not quite as sharp now. He is 40 after all, as is Yadi (almost). I kinda think they gotta get Flaherty (or someone) up in the pen ---

I’'ve seen this movie before: Waino’s big inning – for the other team. This is going to be a disaster if they don’t get the bullpen going ---

Turner swung at a high ball 4. He chased. ETA it was high and outside. Yes he chased it. ---

Absolutely – was gonna post the same thing. He totally chased a high ball. Cards got lucky - please, Mike, get someone warmed up ---

Scherzer has thrown 78 pitches through 4. That’s a high count. It could be an issue in the 6th or 7th. ---

Justin Turner ties it up! ---

I don’t know what game Mike Schildt’s watching, but hey, what do I know? ---

Well, Wainwright has thrown only 66 pitches which isn’t too high. And it’s tied 1-1. The game isn’t out of control. Both pitchers are making good pitches but their command isn’t great. ---

It’s like Scherzer has lost his release point. ---

And then ball 4. No outs, runners on 1st and 2nd. ---

Schildt decides not to hit for Waino, sends him out for a 6th frame. Big, big gamble. ---

He has been on top of his game. Try to save the bullpen if possible. ---
