2011-08-02 Cardinals (Garcia) at Brewers (Marcum) [Brewers lose, 8-7, 11 innings]

LaRusa will claim it wasn't an intentional spit.

C'mon Estrada, throw some strikes. We have Corey fricken Patterson at the plate, not Pujols

[CheezWizHed]

Molina has every right to say what he's saying. Take a look at MLB gameday on that last call.

 

From redbirds... I'm stunned that anyone would rely on a college student sitting up in the 2nd deck to be more correct than an umpire...

[Glennron]

To be fair, the pitch to Molina was a ball.

 

And to be even more fair, he reacted like it was 8 inches off the plate and this is the playoffs and it's not possible for him to get suspended.

[MillerParkSouth]

I don't know how a Cardinals fan can defend what he did. He completely flew off the handle!!

[wOOgiE22]

Wow what a terrible swing!! Ha thanks Patterson!!

[logan82]

So glad the Cards picked up Patterson.

[Schlitz001]

I have no faith we get to the bottom with a tie

nope. and it will hurt really really bad.

Really? The way this game has gone so far?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

That's the free-swinging Corey Patterson we've loved all these years.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Great job Estrada! Way to prove me wrong. This IGT is approaching a record number of reviews... we might pass 20,000 views before the end of this inning!

A holy spit. They baptize babies with that spit.

There was a second spitter

[markedman5]

Can we win this thing now? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[craigharmann]

I don't know how a Cardinals fan can defend what he did. He completely flew off the handle!!

No joke, but a college buddy who is a classy fan said on facebook that Molina was trying to pump the team up....yeah, that's it!

[Mr QL]

Phew, good job Estrada. Didn't know you had it in you.

[Eck17]

Rally Time! Come on lets end this thing.

[ilovebeer]

Nice job Marco. Please win it here, i need to go to bed.

[FVBrewerFan]

LET'S GO BATS!!!!!!! Let's do this thing.

[YoGasKpose]

I really don't want to see Pujols and Holliday again.

 

Come on, Plush, Hart, Hairston!

[logan82]

I agree it was a ball and he had a beef, but he went OFF. I loved his reaction because I think it will hurt the team not having him during his suspension.

[strawbossisevil]

It looked like it was on the black to me. There is no excuse for him going off like that. Absolutely ridiculous.

[FoxyFoxes]

I giggled like a little school girl when he bumped him once.....twice. and spit. then yelled "GOOD". even if they lose this game it might come out even if Molina is suspended 4-5 games. That is a semi serious statement. Molina is a good catcher ...just a lunatic. This is what scared me about getting MOrgan early this year....I don't want a nut on my team. Only team I want a nut on is the Packers so we can turn him lose at linebacker and inflict some pain on the qb.

You mean the same fans who jump on Ryan Braun for watching his HRs, but have no problem with Pujols watching his for twice as long? I think they'll find a way.

To be fair, the pitch to Molina was a ball.

 

And to be even more fair, he reacted like it was 8 inches off the plate and this is the playoffs and it's not possible for him to get suspended.

Also to be fair to Molina it was hard to tell if he spit on the ump or if he was just cussing him out so ferociously that he just let some saliva go as well. Couldn't tell on intent, at least it wasn't as clear as the Alomar incident.

[ilovebeer]

What is the longest game thread ever?

[theavrock]

Was that pitch really a ball? It looked pretty good to me.
