The Cubs have one run because Grichuk couldn't execute a pretty simple play from the OF and a runner advanced to 3b.
On the other side, Heyward and Almora have taken at least 2 runs off the board with stellar plays.
The Cubs are just better than the Cardinals and in all the same ways that the Cards used to be better than them. Fundamentally these teams don't even appear to play the same sport.
I wonder if having a braindead window licker as a manager vs a probable hall of famer has anything to do with that. Naaaaaah. [Reply]

Its a 1 run freaking game dude. Yes Grichuk fucked up but I would still run him out there every day over Heyward regardless of defensive difference. [Reply]
