Sweat dripping after a bullpen session on a muggy Sunday at Busch Stadium, right-hander Jack Flaherty reminded reporters that starts have been scripted for Cardinals pitchers that called for low pitch counts, perhaps even lower than the 58 pitches he threw in a rehab start on Wednesday in Memphis and certainly fewer than the 75 he might throw in his next start.
Flaherty made it clear Sunday that he hoped that next start, which, indeed, will be on Wednesday, would be at Busch Stadium. Manager Oliver Marmol made it equally clear those 75 pitches will be tossed at Memphis.
