Stay on the Bag

Ronny Cedeno, in the bottom of the ninth with one out, attempts to steal second base. The pitch is ball four but the throw goes through to Eckstein. Cedeno touches the base, comes off, and Eckstein tags him. After discussion by the umps, Cedeno is called out. The Cardinals are one out away from a 2-1 win, rather than looking at the tying run in scoring position with one out.

Update: The next pitch is popped up to Eckstein, and the Cardinals win.

Update: I only saw the beginning and end of the game, but 6-4-2 saw the triple play that wasn't.

The most bizarre play in this game where there were at least three — that out at second following a called ball four counts, and seems somehow suitably Cub-like — was the reversal of a triple play call in the bottom of the seventh that involved batter's interference.
