BOOM--Contreras brings the expletive's talking about Rhys Hoskins

[ScotchMIrish]

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

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. Following the play, Contreras exchanged words with Rhys Hoskins, who was in the Brewers' dugout.

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.

No chance it was intentional and silly to think it was. Durbin could have easily spiked him and put him on the IL there’s no way he knew he would trip him and not get spiked instead.

So he's the most incompetent first baseman in the history of baseball? Or his brain doesn't control his left leg? The leg has a mind of its own?

You are reading what you want to read into it not what actually happened and he is learning the position I’ve seen him do the same thing on plays that aren’t close at all like that one the runners always veer off or stop running after they are out but he kept running. On close plays he makes the play and moves out of the way. The only reason you are saying it now is there was a collision you never said he was trying to trip people the other times he did it

If he doesn't do it on "close plays" then how can you say it wasn't deliberate?

He doesn’t do it on close plays because I’m assuming he knows the runner is still coming on the plays where it’s not close the runners veer off or slow and turn around so he obviously doesn’t feel the need to get out of the way. You’re saying he did it intentionally to trip him that’s wrong he has done it multiple times and no collision and you never said he’s trying to trip people but as soon as he does something he has before and there is a collision you cry it was on purpose hilarious

You said he does it intentionally.

[riff raff]

It's pretty obvious he was stepping back to 'throw it around'. Nothing done on purpose.
None the less it's a bad habit and one he needs to break. I'm not surprised they were chirping at him.

Looked intentional to me.

I am now an even bigger fan of Contreras !

Let’s see some fireworks today.Maybe it will wake some boys up.

Not to trip people which is what you were saying. He’s done it before it’s one of those things he does without thinking about now that it ended up with a collision he won’t do it any more because now he knows. He steps off the bag and back to throw the ball around the infield where as usually first basemen steps away forward to throw

Think it thru
..why would he put his ankle/Achilles/foot in harms way on purpose? 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!

Agree.
It was inadvertent and the wrong move by Willy. You give the base away after you catch the ball.

It wasn't a close play, he's out by 7 feet. WC had enough time to turn and start the throw around the horn.
But since he didn't give the bag away that kept him in the base line.
Commendable the player was running through the bag, but he too didn't have to make that contact.

[11WSChamps]

Just imagine what would have happened had Pham been the runner to first.

He didn't stand in the path. He swung his leg around and tripped the guy. Wouldn't be surprised if Marmol told him to start something to get the team fired up.

You're insane.

Perfect throw. Contreras puts his right leg behind him and trips the guy. Then Contreras walks over to the Milwaukee dugout and challenges someone to fight.

No he didn't he turned to the dugout and responded to them (bleep).

Agreed....it was not intentional....he stepped back to throw it around the horn...I don't think he realized where that put his foot...the runner was also inside the line...he had plenty of time to avoid it but obviously wasn't expecting it so caught him off guard...definitely not intentional

Yep. Morans think he'd intentionally do it [fork] himself up

[Bad14]

I don't know how anyone thinks this is intentional. It looks like he still doesn't know how to completely play the position. He probably took issue with the Brewers yelling at him because he DIDN'T do it intentionally. https://www.mlb.com/brewers/video/andre ... leb-durbin

[CCard]

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.

Every team needs "that guy" , good teams usually have more than one. Yadi, Chris Carpenter, Albert. Those guys would get in your face. It establishes an intensity and every other player sees that and knows what's expected of them. Something that I think Arenado and Goldy really lacked even though they were great.

No that's not what you said. You said he consciously pulls the foot away if it's a close play and then swings it in front of the base if it's not a close play. Then he went over to the Milwaukee dugout and wanted to fight. He unintentionally trips a player and instead of apologizing he wants to fight?

When plays are close he moves out of the way so he doesn’t get spiked when runners are out by a long ways he doesn’t because they always stop or veer off so he doesn’t need to get quickly out of the way then he steps back and throws the ball around it was clear that’s what he was doing the same thing he has done before yet you have never said he’s was trying to trip people every other time before you wait until there was a collision to say it was on purpose it’s silly and the reason he got mad is it was an accident then Hoskins started popping off. You are wrong on this one

He tried to start a fight. Walking to the dugout and pointing. Then later said Milwaukee were ***** for not fighting. Tripped a guy on a play I've never seen a first baseman do. Tried to start a fight.

[icon]

Of course, he obstructed the base on purpose. That's how he is, sometimes close to the edge and sometimes over it, and I love it.

Who cares? I guess the Brewers announcers do. They're saying Contreras should be fined by MLB over his postgame comments. Deal with it!

He wasn’t even looking at the dug out until Hoskins started popping off but you are entitled to your opinion no matter how wrong it is
