Error.
Triple.

All right McGreevy.

This is where you limit the damage and don't turn this into the Cardinals starters' patented blow up inning.

Nevermind... you are blowing up.

uffda

big time suckage

imagine that
a 1b/dh playing out of position in the outfield

Burly nice hitter but sure lacks the speed to play LF well. That ball hit off the wall would not be a triple if a speedier guy in LF.
That is routine double ball off the LF wall.
It cost Cards a run .

No. He let the guy get to third where he would have been out had MG not choked.

Augustin Ramirez is having as bad a game as last night behind the plate.
He's been brutal defensively for two games (game and a half)

Although I've spent many years playing & watching baseball, I've never been clear on when a batter is allowed to advance to first on a missed 3rd strike, and what situations when he's not.

Just got home.

Did Church actually squeeze home Saggese? Someone on this team can actually lay down a key bunt?

we found a guy who can bunt

Can advance to first if it’s not occupied unless there’s 2 outs, in which case batter can advance also.

And never would have been a throw if Burly holds the guy to 2nd.
Same thing as if pitcher would have thrown a wild pitch .. you could say , pitcher allowed the run home but run wouldn’t score if guy had been on 2nd.
You are risking allowing more runs when an outfielder allows extra 90 feet.

I kinda said it backwards. The only times you can’t advance is if first is occupied, unless there’s 2 outs.

Geez Winn catch the ball. That was an easy out

And Winn isn't even playing out of position. May have cost the Cards some runs.

Winn having a bad night with his glove
