Why didn't Adrian Beltre come home on that grounder in the 10th that made it 9-8? It's been a week and a half and I'm taking this thing way better than I did after Game 7, but I don't see anyone giving Beltre grief for not coming home on that grounder that scored Descalso. If he comes home, he cuts down the 8th run and the tying run is left at 1st base. Even if Berkman comes in and singles as he did, the best the Cards do is score the 8th run and maybe get the tying run to 3rd.
I think everyone is blaming Nellie Cruz unfairly. Had Elvis and Beltre gone to home and 2nd respectively, Texas chokes off extra batters who eventually came back to hurt 'em. Even after Elvis' brain poot in the 8th, Beltre just making an easy throw hom to cut down Descalso prolly puts us over the top.
