PHOENIX • Cardinals right fielder Stephen Piscotty has been part of some of the baserunning blunders by the Cardinals, and he believes there is some cause and effect.
“We’re under the microscope a lot,” he said. “It’s talked about quite a bit, which, I think, is pretty detrimental. In this game, you just want to react and be instinctive.
“When it gets over-hyped or examined too much, it starts to get in your head. You kind of double-think and not react to what you see. You take calculated risks and when a bad outcome happens, people start to question some of your methods.
