The last home grown all-star outfielder the Cardinals had was Allen Craig in 2013. Before that it was Albert Pujols in 2003. :flashfact:

Should I watch Mets @ Phillies tonight? I'm assuming a black hole will form over Broad and Patterson within the next four days.

Are they going to address that a player attempted to assault a reporter?

I thought he threatened the reporter or did I miss something where he swung at him?

These are good, but I still think Brandon Nimmo is the right answer. :colbert:

Also, that Mets press conference is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. I mean, Mickey Callaway was making jokes about it like this incident wasn't a huge deal.

I got the impression that he lunged at him or something. He had to be held back by Gómez and Syndergaard.

If it wasn’t for deGrom, Conforto, Alonso and McNeil I would just stop bothering at this point.

Manfred should just get off his rear end and investigate.

I had never heard about it until recently; in hindsight, I should've had him chew some gum for me and then sold it at an outrageous profit margin.

Lmao i've never seen somebody so butthurt right after hitting a homerun. What a bitch.

I mean sure pimp your homerun or whatever but trying to start poo poo with the opposing team because you didnt get a borderline call low and the catcher laughed at you is some real "im not mad" poo poo

But there was more context. John Lester didn't get the same call 1/2 a inning before. Flowers was just be jackass when Contreras was politely pointing out the missed call and appealing to the Umps fair nature. :smugbert:

Again we're just gonna ignore that his own teammates were trying to calm Contreras down? There's such a thing as a proportional response. Flip your bat, slow trot around the bases, don't be trying to start poo poo with everybody on the field

E: i don't think its gonna amount to anything and i legitimately enjoy seeing Teheran get shelled because it puts him closer to being off my baseball team but I don't think anybody looked good in that whole kerfuffle.

Good thing he was calmed down by his teammates. He had two more runs to bat in.
