It is nice to watch live baseball again, but since the season has only lasted for three days so far, it is difficult to analyze anything due to small sample sizes. However, one thing that is becoming clear is who Mike Shildt’s preferred options are in the bullpen. On Friday, Jack Flaherty tossed seven strong innings and left the game with a 3-2 lead. Shildt then called for Ryan Helsley to enter the game in the eighth inning. This provided Cardinals fans a first look at who may be considered the high leverage situation pitcher and set up man before Kwang-Hyun Kim.
