This is a throw Jordan Hicks makes 99 times out of 100. Unfortunately for the St. Louis Cardinals, this was the one out of 100 chance and it cost them the game in the most brutal fashion.
On Wednesday, the Miami Marlins made a miraculous comeback to walk it off against the Cardinals 10-9. It all came to be thanks to this unfortunate throw from the pitcher, Hicks, after picking up a ground ball with two on and one out and the Cardinals leading 9-8. When Hicks threw the ball to first to get the force out, he overshot his man completely as the ball sailed over the first baseman’s head.
And from there, the damage was done, as the Marlins then walked it off in dramatic fashion thanks to the truly unfortunate error from Hicks.

What a rough way to lose. Especially on a play as routine as that one.
MLB fans absolutely roasted the Cardinals for this brutal walk off loss to the Marlins.
Jordan hicks can throw a 103 mph moving fastball but can’t soft toss a ball 60 feet https://t.co/5EvpyKcjif
