Re: Contreas is a rusty nail, pushes envelope
I really don't know what Milwaukee were thinking. There was more flopping around first base than a soccer game. I find it hard to believe for a team with so much speed and baserunning talent that they couldn't figure it out.
It's also *checks calendar* JUNE, and this is the first team that wants to raise a stink about it?

I don't know what message he was sending other than he's unprofessional and doesn't know how to play first base. Wilson needed to grow up when he was a Cub and he's still a child.Baseball Savant wrote: ↑14 Jun 2025 19:06 pm But at least team has a pulse today.

Maybe, but like many kids/clowns he's pretty funny.Northsider76 wrote: ↑15 Jun 2025 02:37 amI don't know what message he was sending other than he's unprofessional and doesn't know how to play first base.

He’s more a squeaky wheel. A squeaky wheel gets you he oil. A rusty nail leads to tetanus.Baseball Savant wrote: ↑14 Jun 2025 19:06 pm But at least team has a pulse today.

WillyC is a stud!
He brings leadership, isn't afraid to show emotion and goes right after an opponent.

Just as I hated his antics when he played for the small bears, I am sure you and all your cubby brethren loved Willson when he helped your team win a WS. Just like you loved Hot Dog Javy and Wife Beater Addy.Northsider76 wrote: ↑15 Jun 2025 02:37 amI don't know what message he was sending other than he's unprofessional and doesn't know how to play first base.

Contreras plays with passion, and often inspires his team. Sometimes he goes overboard, but better to do that than be passive and unconcerned.

The scrubbies also had a Manager who liked to chew on toothpicks who had his share of "antics" too.12xu wrote: ↑15 Jun 2025 09:13 amJust as I hated his antics when he played for the small bears, I am sure you and all your cubby brethren loved Willson when he helped your team win a WS.

I'll take WillyC's passion and bravado on the Cardinals any day!
Re: Contreas is a rusty nail, pushes envelope
But if often backfires on Willy C., his error today was difference in game and then he got overpowered in a key at bat with a weak K.

"Decked?" He stepped into the runner's lane and stuck his enormous dumpster in the way. Contreras was in the wrong, then acted like a clown when he homered.Baseball Savant wrote: ↑14 Jun 2025 19:06 pm But at least team has a pulse today.
