Do they still fine players for being stupid? We could buy a big time FA with the fine $$$.

Whether Fermin ran on his own or got a call from the coaches, what's the point of stealing 3rd there when you have 2 outs .

If 0 or 1 out , then a long fly ball scores the run but there were 2 outs so the only advantage is if there is a wild pitch or pass ball so not worth the risk of trying to get to 3rd .

...Cards pretty much "wasted" their offense in the 9th... and in some previous innings as well. But new rookie catcher making his debut in bottom of the 9th, tie game... Don't get much better than that...!

His getting picked off was the second out.

Starting Graceffo in the eighth showed me they don’t care about winning. Then another base running blunder. No accountability in this organization from the top down

Fundamental baseball

Never make the first or third out at third base…

Guess that’s not part of “the Cardinal way”

There was only one out. I have np with trying to steal 3rd, but I just can't fathom how bad they are at executing. They have to have been picked off at least 50 times this year, if not more.

Is it just me or does Svanson’s fastball seem to get on you quick with some “ride” to it.

Good job TV Dinner

So weird to see an athletic catcher behind the plate vs the piggies that have been catching for the Cards
