Absurd. We’ve played nine half-innings. Seven of them have featured at least one run. Four of them have featured multiple runs.
Brewers vs. Cardinals: Cards Score Two More
The Cardinals just scored two more in the top of the fifth to extend their lead over the Brewers to 11-5. Some of it was good hitting, but some of it was bad defense, as has frequently been the case with the Brewers through this series. Matt Holliday led off with a single. David Freese followed with another single, and it was bobbled by Corey Hart, which allowed Holliday to move to third.
Then Yadier Molina came up, and this happened:
If I heard the broadcast right, the Brewers have set an NLCS record for errors. They’ve made a ton of errors. They’ve looked godawful in the field. What’s crazy is that, during the regular season, all the metrics liked the Brewers’ team defense. They had a positive UZR. They had a positive DRS. They had an above-average BABIP allowed. But this series has been a nightmare.
A run scored on that error you see in the .gif, and runners ended up on second and third. After a strikeout, Adron Chambers lifted a sac fly to left. That's where the scoring stopped, but the Brewers really didn't need Kam Loe to get tagged with a pair of unearned runs. Not now. Not tonight.
