VIDEO: Cardinals' Randy Arozarena Swipes Home on Lazy Pickoff Throw to 1st Base
By Adam Weinrib
Sometimes, the after-effects of playing a six-hour game aren't necessarily evident the next day. After all, baseball is baseball. Sometimes, competing looks like going through the motions, and going through the motions looks like hustle, if you squint. But sometimes, after 19 innings late into the morning the previous night, you lob a ball to first, the first baseman drops it, and the opposing runner sprints home and scores. It happens!
Kudos to Triple-A call-up Randy Arozarena here, who was entirely unfazed by the D-Backs' dire straits. The Cardinals are going to October, Arozarena is going home, and he doesn't want to be forgotten.
