Cardinals 4, Cubs 3: Baserunning Questions

The Cubs again came up one run, and one win, short of sweeping the Cardinals.

The Cubs fell to the Cardinals 4-3 at Wrigley Field Sunday afternoon, ending their five-game winning streak and likely ending any slim chance they'd have had to catch the Cardinals for the N.L. Central title.

The questions I alluded to in the headline to this recap are:

  • Should Anthony Rizzo have tried to score on that short-to-medium fly ball to right field by Addison Russell in the eighth inning?
  • Should Quintin Berry have tried to steal second base with nobody out in the ninth inning?
