NL protecting a 2-1 lead in the 9th inning. Ground ball goes by Cabrera at third, Cabrera a defensively-mediocre OF/3b. Meanwhile, the best defensive third baseman on the planet, with the most range--Scott Rolen--is sitting on the bench. Rolen makes that play quite often.

And if Albert had managed to show some of his power tonight, it would have been moot.

Yup, if Rolen was at 3rd the NL would have won.

Fair point about Cabrera. I was wondering why he was that close to the line. With half a decent range, he could have been 2 more steps toward 2nd and still cutoff the doubles down the line.
