Taguchi was the only one that tried to steal. Everything else was just Maddux getting hit. Correct and once Taguchi started running Maddux started throwing BP. I think Grace nailed it unfortunately. I highly doubt that Maddux lost his concentration after Taguchi stole one base. This isn't a young pitcher we're talking about here, it's Greg Freaking Maddux. Now if the Cards continued to have runners on base that were actually base stealing threats - rather than Rolen and Edmonds - then your point would be valid and I would completely agree with you. Maddux is a smart guy and knows that Edmonds is hurting and Rolen isn't that fast so they aren't going to steal.
