They found a creative new way to lose. So there is that.

Seattle did all they could to gift the Cards this game - unbearable.

Hey ... the Cards wanted it less.

...Somebody had to lose eventually... Seattle is hot now, especially at home... The extra-innings were pretty wild... Don't think I've ever seen the Cards play into the 13th.

On to see the Brew-Crew... And hope the outcome there will be different than what happened in Seattle...

I don’t remember a Cardinal team so inept in so many ways. I guess that game could have gone 20 innings and we weren’t going to score. It was just inevitable that the Cardinals were going to lose. They can’t drive in runs, they can’t move runners over, almost impossible to manufacture a run. Ridiculous mistakes running the bases. Even with the pitching doing a couple of Houdini acts, they couldn’t come up with any runs.

Had a chance to win each game but came away with zero wins.

Your last sentence says it all. Exact difference between playoff team and .500 team.

Herrera's base running escapades in extra innings are emblematic of the Oliver Marmol era. There is no excuse for that level of ineptitude at the MLB level. That along with terrible situational hitting killed the game. And the station to station base running game after game is getting old and costing them runs. This team does not have enough speed or aptitude on the bases.

For some reason I stayed up and watched the entire farce. Herrera appears to be brain dead, making a stupid decision not to tag up. Then for some reason he takes off on a routine fly ball and is doubled off second. If he had done that with LaRussa he might have just as well kept running to the clubhouse. Not accountability for brain farts with this crew.

I watched the game thru the 11th inning and it amazed me how Seattle’s hitters kept swinging wildly from the heals, time after time, when all they needed was contact. It was like they were concerned more about their personal stats than winning the game. Am I wrong?

I think this everywhere in baseball now. Stats is how you get the big bucks. Winning is second now

I believe you are correct and that is a shame.
