IBBing the bases loaded is such a stupid thing to do.

Why? Only the runner on third matters.

 

It puts all the pressure on Corey to not walk Miles, who has a small zone to begin with. Ball 1 high.

Yup, with the bases loaded he had to throw him a meatball. Stupid.

 

It was a 2-1 pitch. He had to throw something over the plate.

You're forcing your pitcher to throw strikes. If he gets behind, as we saw, the pitcher is forced to throw a meatball. There is no margin for error if you get behind. If you get behind and it's 1st and 3rd, you can still nibble/try to get them to chase out of the zone to get them out.

Ok seriously, regardless of the fact that they are playing the Giants right now... how do the Cardinals keep winning? Their team looks horrible on paper and has looked horrible against the Cubs, yet somehow they can't lose.
