ST. LOUIS - John Gibbons had some solid statistical evidence to back up his eye-opening move of starting catcher Russell Martin at third base for Tuesday’s opener of a three-game series vs. the Cardinals.
But the guy who Martin replaced at the hot corner essentially stole the show with one of the craziest plays you’ll ever see on a baseball diamond.
Before the night was done that play was topped by the winning run coming from the least likely Jay to do so.
But more on Marcus Stroman later - yes, the pinch-hitting version of that Marcus Stroman.
