let's project forward for a moment.
Wood tonight vs Scherzer.
? tomorrow vs...?
Is LA looking at a bullpen game prior to game 5? If there even IS a game 5.
Our guys have stepped up so many times this year, and I'm hoping/praying they do so again tonight.
Thing is, Scherzer has not pitched that well in recent starts.
9-23 and 929, 10 ip, 17 hits allowed, 10 ER allowed.
And he wasn't much better vs St. L in the playoff game.
4 1/2 IP, 3 hits, 3 BB...And even though he only allowed 1 ER, they came with the hook very quickly. In fact, IMHO, if St. Louis doesn't chase out of the zone so much, or even puts the ball in play a couple of times, and they 'could' have won.
3 poor outtings in a row.
One has to wonder.
Does he put the pieces back together tonight? Or is he in a Kevin Gausman "pitching slump?"
I'm hoping for the later.
