Seems today was an awful lot like the 2nd half of 2010 for the Redbirds. The offenses managed to get good number of baserunners on, but could not string together hits. Baserunning was poor again (see Holliday’s blunder). Poor defense and mental lapses in the field (Skip and Theriot). Shaky bullpen (Franklin fooled no one and the pen narrowly escaped a jam in the 8th). While none of these directly cost the Cardinals the win today, but lump them together and they did. The worst part is these are the exact same things that resulted in the Cardinals underachieving last year, IMO.
