By the time he’d thrown his eighth pitch Wednesday against the New York Mets, Cardinals ascending ace Jack Flaherty had allowed a run, twice pitched with runners at the corners and had yet to get an out. He was in a fix, the parameters of the game stacked against him.

Daniel Ponce De Leon Tests Himself, Passes It; Young Guns Shine; Andrew Miller Begins Throwing; Adam Wainwright, Carlos Martinez Tabbed

Over five innings, he had struck out seven and walked only one while allowing no runs.

Andrew Miller's Arm Issue A Mystery: 'It's A Challenge'; Alex Reyes Finding Command Again; Rehab Roundup; Up Next
Andrew Miller, who didn’t throw his relief assignment on Monday and who has been trying to get a feel for the baseball when he pitches, underwent a series of tests Tuesday morning to try to determine the reason for the different sensation.
St. Louis Official Site
After spending most of his time in spring training groping for a feel on his pitches, Cardinals lefty Andrew Miller is going through a battery of exams and discussions to help determine a root cause of why those troubles persist.

'Big Target' Matt Wieters Begins Bid To Be Yadier Molina's Backup; Dylan Carlson, With A 'D'; Extra Bases
A few times in his first week with the Cardinals, veteran catcher Matt Wieters has mentioned how he despises being late. Ask his wife, he has said. Ask his family, he insisted. He does not like being late, least of all for spring training. Yet there he was this past week without an offer and waiting to report to spring training, late.

Always 'Tinkering,' Adam Wainwright Tries New Pitch, Seeks Precise Mix To 'Reprove Myself'
In what had to be the longest game-planning session in Matt Wieters’ career and maybe a record for a spring training game, he and Adam Wainwright spent the 2 ½-hour drive to Monday’s game discussing the righthander’s approach. Wainwright wanted to establish his fastballs, each of them, and, if he had a chance, take his splitter for a spin.

Michael Wacha Seems Primed For Solid Season
For a young man who stands 6 feet 6 and weighs 215 pounds, Cardinals righthander Michael Wacha easily can be overlooked in the Cardinals’ clubhouse this spring. In a good way, of course.

Paul DeJong Settles Into Shortstop
On what could have been a routine ground ball skipping up the middle Sunday, Paul DeJong broke from shortstop like Kolten Wong figured he would, fielded the ball in the position that Wong would have predicted, and threw on the run exactly as Wong expected. It was a play DeJong has made dozens of times before and, if all goes well, will make hundreds of times again. And Wong wants to see each one coming.

Michael Wacha's Chageup Sharp In Start Vs. Astros
Michael Wacha has been one of the few bright spots among Cardinals starting pitchers early this spring. The 26-year-old right-hander threw three innings on Sunday in the Cardinals' 4-1 loss to the Astros. It wasn't as good a peformance as his debut outing, but Wacha was sharp for the most part, especially with his changeup.

The biggest compliment young outfielder Magneuris Sierra is likely to get this spring came from someone he doesn't even know.

You keep hearing about speeding up the game, but I'm not sure this is what they meant.
