You can thank Ron Washington for that gloriously stupid move and, along with umpires who've clearly been paid off by the Cardinals, costing us this game, and likely the series.
He may be a player's manager, but he's as dumb as a stick sometimes.
Torrealba did exactly what I thought he would. Poor pitch calls keeping Matt off balance. This one game doesn't lose the series for us as I figured we would probably win 2 here at home, but this loss puts a lot of pressure to win the next 2 in a row so we head back to busch with the series in our favor.
