Given the player who was running I doubt it was intentional. If Hoskins is the runner today it will be intentional.ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑15 Jun 2025 07:15 am 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.

You make a good point. It will not be physical, but I bet there are some words. Even at home with the brothers.Bad14 wrote: ↑15 Jun 2025 08:22 amGiven the player who was running I doubt it was intentional.

Two valid points- Willy may have a mouth, and yes, done right, brings mucho intensity to the team.CCard wrote: ↑15 Jun 2025 08:42 am 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.
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.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑15 Jun 2025 08:13 am 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.

..why would he put his ankle/Achilles/foot in harms way on purpose?
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!
Hoskins has always been a d-bag!rockondlouie wrote: ↑15 Jun 2025 08:57 am Love it!
Not a fan of Hoskins and good to see WillyC go right at him.
