Wow.
He didn't mince words.
This was loud and clear.

As Contreras, the Cardinals' first baseman, caught the throw from Nolan Arenado, he inadvertently stood in the path of Durbin, leading the two to collide.

Given his later comments I'm not sure it was inadvertent. If it wasn't intentional then he should not be at first base. Back in the day he would have been spiked. Throw was perfect. He swung his foot around and tripped the runner.

To think he'd do that on purpose is ridiculous. :roll: :lol:

Is Willy a dirty player or just feeling his way around a new position. Learning some do’s and don’ts on the job.

Given the player who was running I doubt it was intentional. If Hoskins is the runner today it will be intentional.

You make a good point. It will not be physical, but I bet there are some words. Even at home with the brothers.

I think today’s game will have a playoff feel. Some seriously intense baseball.

On the one hand, It goes against my personal preference when a guy starts mouthing off and Contreras does seem to have this trait but on the other hand, guys like him are needed on a team that doesn't show any fire. I submit Yadi as a prime example. So in that stead, Contreras may be the only real leader on the team.

Two valid points- Willy may have a mouth, and yes, done right, brings mucho intensity to the team.

If you watch the play, there was nothing inadvertent about it. And if it was, then as someone who's new to the position, say my bad and not act like an (donkey). To double down and keep jawing at Hoskins when he was on first when he knew he was in the wrong shows how immature he is.

Rhys Hoskins has his share of controversies. Google Rhys Hoskins and Jeff McNeil.

Think it thru
..why would he put his ankle/Achilles/foot in harms way on purpose? :roll: what part of inadvertent escapes you?
LoL. You miss the part where Hoskins chirps from the bench and then, pusses out once WillyCon is on base and versa vicea

He's a team leader and beloved even more now!

He did it with a small enough motion that there's a ton of plausible deniability in play, but if I had to put money on it I'd say it was intentional.

I don't particularly mind either way, it's pretty funny how he has handled it and after all this an entertainment industry.

Contreras would have fit right in with the Gas House Gang, and I love it. Fans always love guys like that when they're on the home team.

What was especially funny yesterday was the way he picked up the ball after he was hit by the pitch and politely returned it to Quintana's glove. Hilarious

Hoskins has always been a d-bag!
Remember him getting into it with the Mets among other teams.
Has the IQ of a house plant.
