Contreras: how many times tagged out on the base paths?
I'm fine with that out on the basepaths. If the throw goes through to home, he's standing on 2nd. If it's cut off, we scored a run. Good baserunning.
but there was no way Crowe-armstrong was going to throw out Hampson. unnecessary for contreras to go for 2nd base.
It wasn't PCA, it was the LF. With 2 outs, I'm fine with it. Nothing I'm going to lose sleep over.

The runner was scoring regardless of the throw being cut off. Dumb baserunning decision.
We all have opinions. I'll take aggressive baserunning with 2 outs.

There is such a thing as dumb aggression. And that was an example of such.

Pozo was going to score there. Thats not aggressive, that's dumb. Quite possibly could've tacked on another run or 2. Pretty sure they could've used another run or 2. Contreras is quite dumb.

I like Contreras he and Herrera are my favorite cardinals but that was bad base running there’s a difference between aggressive base running and just bad base running that was bad. Still my favorite cardinal. Lord knows Donovan has made his share of bad base running mistakes

...My opinion too... Contreras ensured that the run would score unimpeded. Cubs pitcher Boyd could not risk letting the ball go through to the catcher, and took pretty sure play on Contreras to end the inning, only after the run scored... Cards playing some good baseball tonight... The best game I've seen McGreevy pitch...keeping the Cubs batters off balance. Time to let the Cards BP nail this win down...

It would have been a runner on 1st with 2 outs. Again, I'm not going to lose sleep over him over rounding 1st base.

Hampson can fly (his only real skill) no need for Contreas to try and force cut off

Umpires are gonna miss calls, but some of these calls are incredibly bad. I think the kid in the stands might be better. :D
