...Noot's error cost the tying run in the the top of the 4th inning... Plenty of time to get that run back... A more concerning problem is that the Cards are 1-for-9 with RISP after 6 innings...

Almost a nightly occurrence

To all those always saying how Herrera's horrible defense never costs this team, well, there you go.

Terrible.

[WhiteyHerzog]

So which Cardinals' reliever will be giving up the game-winning run?

Turns out it was Soriano.

Pallante pitched his (bleep) off

Deserved a better fate

The Nootbaar game

Nah. Just another game where the offense can't do [shirt].

[WhiteyHerzog]

Poor Pallante gets 2 ER today that were seemingly not his fault.

[JuanAgosto]

This catcher defense is getting really old. Every game there is a pitch to the backstop that allows a runner to advance. Today, it may cost the game. Absolutely pathetic.

Blaze is not a blazer on the base path

Runs like a maid

Busch did what I wish Card batters would do with two strikes.
Just get bat on ball and serve it somewhere.

His anemic at bats with RISP is a bigger reason for this result. He and his teammates are useless with men on base

[bartleby the scrivener]

Just bone headed. You have a job that requires concentration for what, 3 hours a day, when you play. You forget how many outs there are then in your haste, you make a hurried throw and miss the cutoff man. That can’t happen. Pallante pitching his butt off and you can’t back up his effort.

Yes , it was a mental error. Yes, the games last about 3 hours for each one. We all agree it should not happen but all workers make a mental error sometime. In all my many work years I never came across a worker (player) who didn’t screw up once in a blue moon.
Anyone who says they never had a mental lapse is either lying, in denial about making a mistake or never did the job many hours.

Interesting that a mental error doesn't count as one in the box score, though.

...Noot was given an error on the throw..

Thanks, I just looked to see if the run was chalked up to Pallante and it was/is.

As much as you want to root for Herrera, his obvious warts just won’t go away. The Cubs run every chance they get on him. Hasn’t thrown one guy out this year. Another pitch that gets away from him and we give up an extra base. He has to provide a lot of offense to make up for the defensive shortcomings.

...How about the Nootbaar/Herrera game... Catcher's passed ball just as costly...
