5 times Storen was within 1 strike of ending it and he couldn't get it done. He had 2 outs and a runner on 3rd with Molina up..the absolute worst that could happen in that situation is a HR and tie game...just lay it in there, don't give him a free pass.

Storen's big mistake, his big choke, was walking the tying and winning runs on base. After that, the hits weren't much of a surprise.

The Cards were three runs ahead. Bravos never got the hit they needed, bad call or not. SaintLouisBlues Oct 2012 #13
