So, why did Scherzer bail after 83 pitches?

...the Mets pulled [scherzer] after just 83 pitches. He had not thrown his usual 100 pitches or so in a while. They had to be careful. Besides, he said, he was not at full cardio strength.

“Actually, today, this was probably the most winded I've ever been in a start,” said Scherzer, who has made 427 of them in his career. “I was huffing and puffing. I wasn't tired. I was just out of breath because the last six days I haven't done a thing. I've been sitting in a neck brace. I feel like now I can get through this start, now I can get back in my routine, get my running in. That way I'm physically fit and can get out there and actually pitch better.”
