I wasn't aware that Yadi actually gave him advice on his throws to second. That's adorable.

E: For reference - http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/advice-from-yadier-molina-went-a-long-way-with-willson-contreras/

quote:

“You look great,” Molina told him, speaking Spanish. “Just keep doing what you’re doing. You’re going to be an All-Star someday.”

This was the side of Molina fans don’t get to see, the giving nature with young players that has made him such a difference-maker beyond his own performance. Many opposing players — former Cubs catcher Welington Castillo being one of them — have their own stories of being encouraged by Molina during games early in their careers.

Not many of them, though, got the “All-Star” treatment.

“That made my day,” Contreras said. “I was like, ‘Wow.’ ”

But it was as Molina dug in for his second at-bat that Contreras could hardly believe his ears. Molina had been watching the spry, aggressive, rocket-armed Contreras from the dugout — seen him fire the ball down to second base before each inning — and noticed a flaw in the technique of a player who didn’t start catching until the age of 20.

“You have to get your glove from your left side to your right ear to make the transfer,” Molina told him. “Don’t worry about it, just practice it. You’ll see.”

Contreras had heard similar advice from coaches a couple of times before, but now — coming from Molina — he took it as gospel. Late in the game, after he gunned down Matt Carpenter on an attempted steal of second, Contreras had to stop himself from looking into the Cardinals’ dugout to catch the eye of one of his heroes.

Gameday has been something like 3 innings behind on the Cards/Nats game tonight. Which honestly has been helpful, I can just pretend the Cardinals' bullpen didn't implode as badly as it has.
