Why is Flaherty still in the game???

Why not pull him now so he'll be rested for game 2? As of right now he slots into game 3 and most likely only pitches one game in the LCS unless it goes 7. Very poor strategy by STL manager.

They gotta make sure he gets over 7 strike outs for the:

Flaherty S/O's prop

O 6.5 (-125)

U 6.5 (+105)

Because he has to rest the bullpen too. 

You obviously know nothing about baseball. Cards will do whatever it takes to ensure they win this game. A Braves comeback is extremely unlikely but the Cards will play this like a one run game until the last out is recorded. You sound like a travel ball coach..

A comeback? The Braves are already mentally booking their flights to Monte Carlo so they can sun themselves on Livorno Beach. They have all of that money to spend and who cares if they performed like bums in game 5? They sure don't. 

Its more than pitch count in the game..All the warm up pitches pre game and during innings add up...Sherzer pitch 1 inning and had his start pushed backed and he even said he was gassed yesterday...

The point is a good manager will never “save” pitching during an elimination game. Every MLB and college coach would play this exactly how the Cards are and it is the correct move. 

It's one thing to be up 5 when a big inning can get ATL back in it. At a dozen runs if your pen can't hold the lead, you have no business being a respectable major league team.

He’s probably thrown like 2400 pitches this season , what’s another 80 lol 

A GS would be awesome Freddie kruger

Lol freeman is so ugly.. he got with zero girls in high school 

Boone pulled Tanaka up 8 - 1, this guy leaves his starter in the game up 13 - 1...  He should of been pulled after the 2nd inning.. 

I would seriously consider the winner of LA - Was at this point. Inexcusable to leave your ace until game 3.
