ST. LOUIS -- Gerrit Cole didn't break a blessed thing.
Didn't drive his fist into some drywall. Didn't fling a chair. Didn't even follow standard psycho-pitcher protocol and take a bat to the poor tub of Gatorade.
Talk about off-the-charts poise, huh?
"I don't know. Maybe I've just got a good poker face," the Pirates' ace and erstwhile Cy Young candidate was telling me late Wednesday night in the otherwise silent Busch Stadium visiting clubhouse, this after yet another gift-wrapped, bow-on-top outcome was handed to the Cardinals by a 4-2 count.
Cole actually allowed for the smallest of smiles as he spoke that, too.
