This hothead, tossed his bat point blank at someone, could have caused severe injury. DFA him, Not the Cardinal way.

He plays with a lot of emotion and clearly lets it get the best of him but at least he has it. All I hear is fans cry about how the players show no passion. Like you never get upset and lose your cool fans are such tools

Nice job, defending the indefensible. Pretty rich, a toolbox calling anyone else a tool.

Not defending just not ready to crucify someone for losing their cool because it happens. He will obviously get whatever penalties and deserve them for his actions.

Hopefully the punishment is stiff.

So, whatever the umpire said is what really fired him up. It must have been pretty bad, whatever the umpire said, but we’ll never know what that was. We’ll also never know if he is disciplined for it.

It doesn’t matter what was said dude, Contreas crossed a line you don’t cross, throwing a bat is taboo

He deserves whatever punishment the league throws at him

I would give him 15 games.

Red7 wrote: ↑25 Aug 2025 21:48 pm He actually had a great game. If any part of the ball touches any part of that box, it’s considered a strike. He will grade out very well tonight.

Strike zone was very consistent - and Contreras had nothing to complain about.
Clearly a strike.

It certainly was. It’s why he got dumped so quickly. It’s one thing to beef on a borderline or even a missed call, but down cock and center? Nope. Oli getting dumped was just as stupid. It’s one thing to have you player’s back, but to keep it up until you get dumped is just dumb.

The Marmot is an idiot.
Every time he gets tossed it is 100% contrived theatre.
There is nothing real about any of his disputes with umpires.
All show.

Nonsense.
The umpire said nothing inappropriate.
He may or may not have misheard Contreras - but he said nothing "pretty bad".

Well Victor Robles got ten and he deliberately threw the bat towards the pitcher. So I can't see it being more than that.

Contreras threw it at an umpire.
Big difference.
He also threw his helmet and a bucket.

He did not. It was a toss in the direction of the umpire and others. He did not throw the bat directly at anyone. And there was very little force behind it. Had Brown been paying attention, he doesn't get hit.

That's not defending the action. But I'm not going to go dramatically overboard like you. Geez
