Cardinals 8, Cubs 3: E-5, E-6, E-6

This game was going along reasonably well, the Cubs trailing just 1-0 heading to the bottom of the fourth with Alec Mills throwing nicely, when Patrick Wisdom and Javier Báez literally threw it away.

With one out in the inning, Wisdom threw wildly on a ground ball that should probably have been the second out. Difficult play? Maybe, but he’s made those before.

Yadier Molina singled and Tommy Edman walked and then Tyler O’Neill hit a ground ball to short. Oh, no, Javy, what were you thinking? [VIDEO]

Watching the video, it looks like Báez wants to scoop the ball, tag Yadi, then throw home for a spectacular double play.
