Costly Pickoff

Brett Cecil tore a calf muscle in the process of picking off Mike Napoli.

Cecil subsequently picked Napoli off first base, but in the ensuing rundown, after taking a throw from shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, Cecil tore the calf muscle while in pursuit of Napoli, whom he tagged out for the final out of the eighth. He limped off the field at the end of the inning.

Cecil will likely miss the rest of the post-season. Cecil was tough this year, walking 13 batters and striking out 70 in 54 1/3 innings.

Here is a video inspired by Brett Cecil.
