not sure how much he has upstairs, if you know what I mean.

Herrera was the only one that didn't try to foolishly advance a bag. All 3 players should have been standing on their based. Noot and Contreras advanced, Herrera tried to go back to 3rd, but Noot was standing there. Either Herrera or Noot was going to be out at that point, but not Herrera's fault.

Correct, Noot and Contreras screwed it up.

It's funny that many here bash Oli and the Cards for not knowing the rules, but they themselves don't even know the rules when they have time to sit back and think about it.

Nobody on here plays baseball for a living.

And zero major leaguers have an excuse for advancing on an infield fly with 1 out.

But you guys all state how stupid Oli is and how anyone with half a brain would do a better job, yet people on this thread are blaming Herrera for that IF fly debacle, clearly not knowing the rules of baseball. Chalk this one up as a loss for the couch potato manager crowd. It's cool. You'll live to fight another day and another gripe.

I never said this particular f-up was on Oli.

Once again, no major league player (in this case Nootbaar and Contreras) EVER has an excuse to do what they did.

But glad you try to put the blame on “the couch potato manager crowd”.

Nice stop and strong throw. Getting reps at third seems to have him improving.

Who here still sees Herrera valuable?
