Yadi has his 2nd catchers interference in a week. We shall see what’s said about that...
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

I don't know if it was posted, but this is what Braun said in that AB.

 

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the Cardinals heard Braun complaining to home plate umpire John Bacon over a strike call. Braun specifically said, “just because [Molina] gets mad at you, you can’t call that a strike, man.” That obviously got Shildt’s blood boiling, and seeing his starting catcher get struck by a bat pushed him over the edge.

 

You have to have some wickedly thin skin to get mad at someone saying that.

Also found it hilarious that Schildt was like, "Well I'm not blaming Braun. But it sure does look bad" (paraphrasing)

 

Ok? So are you blaming him or not? Either you're absolutely suggesting Braun someone intentionally caused the catcher's interference or you're admitting it has nothing to do with the hitter and is just one of those things. It can't be anywhere in between.

 

We know what you're insinuating, so have the stones to just come out and make the accusation rather than acting all cryptic about it.

 

I lost a lot of respect for Mike Shildt this last week. Thought he was a little better than all this.

Per McCalvy: Pat Murphy didn't miss a beat. Says he showed up today and introduced himself to Daniel Vogelbach by saying, "How did *I* have a heart attack and you haven't had a heart attack?"

 

Murphy says Vogelbach looked at him like, "Who is this guy?"

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

I’ve been screaming this for awhile now. It’s just stinky we are forcing this. This will be loss #6 in a 60 game season for Houser. Awful.

It’s almost like Counsell doesn’t want to be a playoff team. Make the change already and give yourself a chance in this one.
