Summary
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down Monday's 6-5 loss to the Phillies as the Cardinals fell short of a comeback bid. The bottom of the eighth produced plenty of intrigue -- and two coaching decisions worthy of scrutiny. One of them was Oli Marmol's -- and postgame, he acknowledged he would do it differently, and make a different decision than the one he made. The other, though, was more complicated -- and perhaps more costly, as Pop Warner opted for a conservative approach rather than waving Masyn Winn home on a play that could have tied the game.
