What do you think he said?Hoosier59 wrote: ↑26 Aug 2025 20:13 pm Once again, in no way am I condoning what Willson did, but like I said the home plate ump is not innocent in this mess.
I don’t believe Willson told him to eff off, and that’s what set him off because the ump claims he did. Willson deserves whatever the league gives him, but the umpire should also be fined or suspended if indeed, Willson never said what the umpire claims to have heard.
Seems like the ump precipitated the incident?Hoosier59 wrote: ↑26 Aug 2025 20:13 pm Once again, in no way am I condoning what Willson did, but like I said the home plate ump is not innocent in this mess.

They surely don't hold hearings in person in New York do they? I believe that they used to, as NY is where the Commissioner's office is/was. It is my memory that hearings were heard when the teams came to NY, and if suspended they would miss games against either the Yankees or Mets, depending what league they were in.
I remember getting blasted a couple of months back when I said he wasn't a good signing. Most on here thought he was a piece to build around. Look at his career numbers. He's only a good player, not anything to build around. I doubt anyone will own up but.....

Other teams complained that the two NY teams always had the benefit of facing teams with suspended players, so they changed the procedure. Does anyone else remember this?
He claims he told the ump to call that pitch a strike for the Cardinal pitchers too, because he hadn’t been doing so. He may not have used those exact words, but that’s basically what he says he said! Oli seemed to back him up on that.ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑26 Aug 2025 20:15 pmWhat do you think he said?Hoosier59 wrote: ↑26 Aug 2025 20:13 pm Once again, in no way am I condoning what Willson did, but like I said the home plate ump is not innocent in this mess.

Why would you want to void his contract? What is with people wanting to shed salary for an owner that already will have shed $70M in salary in two years? Contreras has an .823 OPS as a Cardinal.KeeptheRamsinSTL wrote: ↑26 Aug 2025 18:56 pm It is too bad that the Cardinals are unable to void Contreras' contract based on his assault on Brant Brown.
His reputation got him tossed and getting on the wrong side of umpires hurts the team.Hoosier59 wrote: ↑26 Aug 2025 20:53 pmHe claims he told the ump to call that pitch a strike for the Cardinal pitchers too, because he hadn’t been doing so.

Did you say [shirt] like this when Gibson stormed the opposing dugout, throwing punches?
