It happened again. An example of suspect baserunning spotted another Cardinals loss.
Thursday's 5-1 fall to the lowly Phillies saw Jedd Gyorko make the last out of the fourth inning at third base after Yadier Molina reached on a fielding error. It's fair to wonder how things might have played out had the out been avoided. It became just the latest of oh-so-many outs like this — many were much worse — during this frustrating season.
FanGraphs' BaseRunning metric, believe it or not, says the Cardinals' baserunning is right in the middle of the pack in the majors, checking in at 0.
