The Cardinals and Phillies are playing in St. Louis. The game goes to the ninth inning with the Cardinals ahead, 2-0. The St. Louis relief pitcher strikes out the first Philadelphia batter and then allows a single, walk and walk to load the bases. Then he hits a batter with a pitch to bring home the first Phillies run. Some people come out of the Cardinals' dugout and look at the reliever's hand, and then they watch him throw a few warmup pitches--and that apparently is what indicates to them that they might want to take him out of the game and try someone else.
