Cards Win!

[billroper]

The Cardinals beat the Cubs in the second game of their series down in St. Louis by a final of 8-7 as Nolan Arenado made a bare-handed grab of a high-bouncing ball, followed by the throw to first to retire Dansby Swanson for the third out of the ninth as the tying run was heading home from third.

Defense is frequently underrated.

Defense is my favorite. (Especially since the lack of it lost the Tigers the 2012 World Series; and doomed them to years of basement dwelling.)

If you can find Tigers highlights, check out the *two* defensive plays by Wenceel Perez in the 7th inning. OK, so Javy (El Mago, up to his usual tricks) at second didn’t hurt any….
