For people who didn’t see, Happ and Contreras hugged each other a few moments after Contreras got hit. Then Mikolas still decided to drill Happ. Ridiculous, classless, and chicken s*** move by the Mikolas. Obviously unintentional and any argument saying that you have to retaliate there is asinine. Those announcers should know better.
I love that the announcer and the pitcher both thought there would be absolutely no immediate consequences for that and the umps were like "Yeah... no. You're coming out and you take the loss."
Why is acceptable for pitchers,’the most protected player on baseball teams, to attempt to deliberately hurt another player to “send a message” all while being protected? It makes no sense. The ejection call was right, what if the pitch before hit happ in the head? That’s your response to a long backswing that happ obviously didn’t mean to hit contreas with? I can promise you contreas and happ are closer than contreas and any member of that cardinal team
@@fuezz_y1062it was 100% a good ejection because happ didn’t intend to hit contreras at all they literally hugged before he left the game and they are friends… and mikolas threw at happ TWICE… shut your little baby mouth cardinals fan
@@jamesberry3230really shows more that the cardinals have poor sportsmanship… happ literally hugged contreras after the play because they are friends, yet mikolas threw at happ not once, but twice…
this was obvious that it was intentional, the rules are clear, he would have waited for his next turn and no one can say it was intentional so he gets a warning
Not only did he miss his first attempt, but he aimed shoulder high and when he missed he went back in. It makes sense he was tossed right away. Shouldve waited till next AB if your going to try anything. Cardinals are just soft and emotional.
or you’re just a cubs fan.. weirdo… you hit someone in the back of their head with a baseball bat and you call them soft when they throw a baseball at you?
So Mikolas said he was just backing his catcher up, who was accidentally hit by his friend Happ, but Mikolas was aggrieved that he didn't get a warning. How many shots at Happ did he want to take exactly?. He got exactly what he deserved.
Not a wise choice by the Cardinal pitcher. Back swings do hit catchers, but they have been teammates and are friends. No way was it intentional. The drilling of Happ was so obvious, he had to get thrown out.
If he'd successfully hit Happ on the first try or just let it go after brushing him back, it would've been fine. But yeah, even with the actual plunk being in pretty much the safest possible spot, going for it twice in a row kinda left the umps with no choice but to toss him.
The most unintentional hit to the head followed by the most intentional HBP… Cardinal commentators and fans are literal sheep if they think the umpires made a bad decision. Nothing to do but laugh at them. 🤣
really bad decision by the umps... at some point people quit playing baseball and started playing bitchball... you think Gibson wouldve not hit the batter? so tired of soft people and their ignorant views on how to play baseball.. for the record. Id throws at your head and sleep like a baby
Contreas was bleeding from the back of his head it wasn’t like he had a bruise. Oh if Mikolas really wanted to damage he would’ve thrown it a lot harder but it was more of a eye for an eye kind of thing.
@@NathanHedrick-k6t he was bleeding from an unintentional bat swing. So instead of sucking it up like a man, he intentional hits Happ and jeopardizes the teams chances at winning the game, significantly.
@@NathanHedrick-k6tso if its the otherway around, someone gets hbp on the head, its a unwittien rule that next batter can swing a bat at catcher head? Eye for an eye right? 😂
The announcers for St. Louis should be ashamed for calling themselves announcers. Justifying hitting a player due to an accident. Hopefully Mikolas is suspended for this.
nah... it was indeed intentional but it was just a love tap on the tush... didnt try to hurt Happ... Still a really dumb play by pitcher over an accidental errant bat swing
What was bizarre was this Mikolas specimen standing RIGHT NEXT TO CONTRERAS when he and HAPP HUGGED...IN NO WAY WAS THAT FOLLOW-THROUGH intentional. Then, Mikolas was seen talking to backup catcher, who for the next 2 pitches mysteriously NEVER GAVE A PITCH SIGNAL !! Hmmm, thinking Mikolas said "I'm beaning this Happ guy". I firmly believe he tried on that 1st brush back. Then the coward waits until he's in front of Card's dugout with 25+ guys as back-up, then he taunts Cubs bench, who just laughed at him...what a wimp.
I'm a long time Cardinals fan, in other words, old, and I agree with the umpires. Retaliation when there was nothing to retaliate for is ridiculous. Evidently the Cardinals thought they could drill Happ and the only consequence would be a warning, and the ejection was a warning to other teams that there is no free license to throw at other players.
This childish behavior of retaliation just waste time and don't accomplish anything. I hope their ejection sends the message that it's time for baseball to end this practice and just play the game.
I am an old Cubs fan, and I agree. I was really surprised to see them throw at Happ there. The rule is pretty clear that when you intentionally hit a batter that you are ejected from the game, and that sequence was about as intentional as it gets. If you want to send a message and hit someone, you better not miss the first one where there can be some doubt, because the second one will get you tossed.
Got back to .500 now the new season starts later today! Gotta keep the offense rolling it’s a beautiful thing to watch after the All-Star break Love the umpires putting on a show in the first inning lol 😂 #gocubsogo #keepgoing
The Chicago Cubs are getting more runs IN they ranked #1 in every category after the all Star break plus the 6 game winning streak is starting to look epic
@@cambrown2652 Exactly what I said. What don't you get? I don't need to go to someone's youtube channel for them to explain baseball highlights to me. What a waste of time. I'll watch it on my own.
What message was sent? Happ always swings like that and he and Contreras are former teammates that hugged before Contreras was taken out. The massage is Mikolas has no clue and went bush league and he shouldve been thrown out. Making something out of nothing!
You won't see to many people outside of St. Louis complaining on how poorly the Cardinals are doing this year. I am tired of them just rolling through the Central every year. They were due for a really crappy season.
Chip Cary you were both ignorant and out of line in your commentary on what transpired . First of all what happened was unfortunate. But Ian Happ in no way was trying injury Contreras, and it was an accident. But after they resumed the game first pitch by Mikolas was up and inside and Cary exclaimed " message sent". Next pitch hits Ian Happ and Caray again " message sent. Mr. Cary what happened to Contreras was an unfortunate accident and in no way intentional. In your words it appears you feel Mikolas was justified. A really bad moment for you in your broadcasting.
I'm a Cardinals fan. I am so sick of intentionally hitting batters. I'm glad Mikolas and Marmol got ejected. Please don't ever intentionally hit a batter ever again!
bro the cardinals broadcasters getting angry for mikolas getting thrown out is so funny. contreras and happ are literally friends and happ did not intend to do that at all.
Really hope Wilson is okay! Obviously unintentional by Happ and Wilson's a former Cub too! Good they threw Nik out of the game, not one but 2 pitches in a row that WERE intentional. The manager shouldn't be defending the case there, it's obvious what was going on, just move on. Cubs playing great baseball though!
@s.s.chapter2219 There is no rule that says a warning must be issued, so maybe you need a refresher on the actual rules and not the bullshit unwritten rules.
@s.s.chapter2219 Might not be common; but an umpire would be breaking the rules by *not* ejecting a pitcher when they were positive it was intentional.
@s.s.chapter2219 Warnings are typically issued when there is some doubt about whether the pitcher threw at the batter. If the umpires judge that a pitcher has thrown at a batter intentionally, they eject the pitcher immediately. Mikolas took two shots at Happ, which shows intent. It was stupid for Mikolas to throw at Happ in the first place, but making it obvious that he was doing that is even dumber. Umpires usually don't throw out pitchers after they hit a guy because when someone is trying to do it, they usually have the control to actually do it, but since Mikolas didn't, he doesn't get a second chance.
The Cubs are now 4th in the NL in runs scored, and that's with an off season for Ian Happ, a poor season from Suzuki, and below average overall production at 1b, 3b, and DH. If they could add 1 or 2 bats, and a couple of quality arms in the bullpen... they are a definite WC threat. IF ?
never understood mikolas hitting happ there. contreras and happ are friends and wasn't intentional on happ. they hugged before they took contreras out. but they were right to eject mikolas out. no need for that to further risk potential injuries on players unnecessarily.
Those deadbird announcers are so clueless its almost laughable. "Happ couldnt control his backswing"... hes always had the same backswing. And this wasnt the first time contreras got hit by a backswing. The dude sets up too close to the batter sometimes. But what do you expect from a team trying to find excuses as to why they are terrible lol
I wish ESPN would shut up about wanting the Cubs to trade off players. The Cubs are on a roll. This was the same position as the Phillies were in last year and they made the postseason.
Suzuki has been a big disappointment with his bat this season and should NOT be batting after Bellinger. Isn't it obvious that Morel should be batting after Bellinger. Suzuki is hitting only .241 since the AS break with an anemic slg. pct. of only .315. See season stats below: Suzuki- .256 8 hr 34 rbi in 313 at bats Morel- .281 16 hr 48 rbi in only 221 at bats Gomes- even Yan Gomes numbers are better... .274 8 hr 38 rbi in only 223 at bats
The St Louis broadcast team is a joke. What Happ did was an accident and both Happ/Willson hugged it out after. There is no ill will between Cubs and Willson, yet the Cardinals purposely hit Happ b/c of an accident. Mikolas deserves to get tossed and the Cardnials showed us all how dumb they were. They had 2 outs and decided to hit Happ, Cubs made them pay by putting up 3 runs in the inning.
Knizner now has 8 hr 23 rbi in only 128 AB. Meanwhile, Contreras has 11 hr 40 rbi in 303 AB. Thus, the Cardinals should just give the starting job to Knizner, and trade Contreras back to the Cubs where he can DH & Catch 😊
"Because Happ couldn't control the backswing" they say as Miklas goes up and in followed by at the rear of Happ. Pretty clearly unintentional from Happ and Miklas decided to go at him twice. Pretty blatant from the STL starter 🤷🏼♂️
If the pitch hits a player and was clearly intentional, the officials can eject. If it's not clearly intentional, they'll usually issue a warning. It was very very clearly intentional
Kudos to the highlight team for including everything around the ejection.
the ejection should have been Happ for dangerous play for taking his hand off the bat on the swing, also called out on play
@@jamesberry3230 tell us you don't know baseball without telling us you don't know baseball

Knizner now has 8 hr 23 rbi in only 128 AB. Meanwhile, Contreras has 11 hr 40 rbi in 303 AB. Thus, the Cardinals should just give the starting job to Knizner, and trade Contreras back to the Cubs where he can DH & Catch 😊
FINALLY WERE .500
"Because Happ couldn't control the backswing" they say as Miklas goes up and in followed by at the rear of Happ.
Pretty clearly unintentional from Happ and Miklas decided to go at him twice. Pretty blatant from the STL starter 🤷🏼♂️
The cardinals need to go 54-4 to win 100 games.
😂 you got jokes
@@bbradley280he didn't say it would happen, he just said that as a statistic.
The way the Cardinals have been crappy this season, it wouldn't surprise me if they went 4-54 instead 😂.
Guys look I was wearing the blue shirt in the green seats
Cardinals have become a classless team.
I’m a cubs fan but I don’t know why they threw out the pitcher for hitting happ
If the pitch hits a player and was clearly intentional, the officials can eject. If it's not clearly intentional, they'll usually issue a warning. It was very very clearly intentional
1 pitch for retaliation
