Michael Kay reports that Willson Contreras was calling pitches that pitchers don’t throw
Michael Kay, play-by-play broadcaster for Yankees games on the YES Network, revealed that he has heard from Cardinals people that Contreras was removed from his role as starting catcher because he was calling pitches outside of the arsenals of Cardinals pitchers. “I found out something, I was talking to a lot of the Cardinal people. The reason that they took Contreras out from behind the plate, he was calling pitches that the pitcher on the mound didn’t have… He would be calling for a cutter, for a pitcher that didn’t throw a cutter. The pitchers were going crazy.” |

Mo did zero due diligence when signing this clown. Unbelievable. We knew he was a defensive liability of epic proportion on THIS board...a ****ing football board and a damn Cub fan knew it

Just holding out hope Hence develops into a No. 2 starter so they can have one decent homegrown pitcher. If he debuts in 2024, his clock should stretch out through 2030. Who knows where Mo will be then?
I was listening to the Front Office on MLB Network Radio last week. Jim Bowden was even starting to say that Mo needs to step aside to take a figurehead job. Bowden went easy on Mo being the former GM, but simply said that organizations need new leadership after a certain period of time. The game evolves and what Mo did in the past is not working now. Bowden's words, not mine. I guess the question is ownership going to wait for the team to be shitty for a multitude of years before they make the move? Kind of like what the Rangers did with Jon Daniels. Daniels rode the cache of two straight pennants for a decade before the Rangers parted ways. They were down for five years after their last good year in 2015. |

Cards TV guys bragging about the 250K fans that have showed for the most recent home stand vs Yankees and Astros. And there is why shit will never change.

**** the Astros. The mid-2000s don't mean shit anymore, but there's not a team in baseball (outside the A's) that won't fill the park against the Yankees.
