The Cardinals are such a dumpster fire

[Irrelevant Dude]

I just turned the game on.  Can someone explain what just happened?

I don't mean it sarcastically, I genuinely want to know what happened 

Happ caught Willson with his follow through, causing him to leave the game.

 

Mikolas is an idiot and threw at Happ twice, hitting him the second time and getting ejected.

Happ hit Contreras on a back swing. Willson bled enough to need to come out.

Mikolas buzzed Ian up and in next pitch. The following pitch hit him in the backside. Umps get together and toss Mikolas.

Happ swung, Contreras kind of lunged at it, and the backswing whacked Willy.  Got him good, probably stitches.  Mikolas, I guess, blamed Happ (for what, the horsefeathers knows) and then threw at him...twice.  The last had to be an 80mph lob at his ass.  Got tossed.  What his argument for **not* being tossed is probably worth a study in a college law class, because I couldn't imagine there was anything there to argue, it was the most obvious reason ever for him to get rung.

Only way to explain it is Cardinals being stupid for no reason. Idk what their thinking was

[SABR Gamer]

Ian Happ had a big follow through. The bat hit Willson in the head, accidentally, giving Willson a big cut on the side of his head. Willson seemed fine but the bleeding wouldn't stop so they took him out of the game. Mikolas then threw the next pitch up and in, narrowly missing Ian. Next pitch right into the back of Ian's butt. Tossed for intentional beaning. 

 

ETA: Before getting beaned, Ian went up and hugged Willson as he was leaving the game. Everything seemed fine. Mikolas is a jackass.

Ian Happ swung and hit Willdo in the head on the back swing.

The trainer couldn't stop the bleeding so Contreras had to leave the game.

On the next pitch Mikolas throw up and in but missed Happ the Cardinal way.

The following pitch was in Happ's back.

Mikolas was tossed from the game and the Cards cried.

Then we had to wait for both players to warm up.

Oh I can’t wait to hear this.

Let me guess? Happ is at fault for everything?

[SOFNR]

The Cubs better win after all that nonsense. But seriously, what a dumbass move. Nobody there could seriously have thought Happ was trying to intentionally hurt his friend.  What kind of message did you really send there? Don't accidentally hit our player with a bat or we'll get our starting pitcher removed in the 1st? Nice job losers.

[Nolansomebody]

So, I'm guessing Happ is going to be the new scapegoat for Cardinals fans now.

[Jason Ross]

This is pretty poetic and exactly what you deserve plunking Happ like that.  Throwing at players is stupid.  You deserve this outcome.

[UMFan83]

Yep Happ was trying to purposely injure his teammate from the previous 6 seasons on…his backswing? Lmao

Yep, this is one of the most satisfying follow ups to nonsense like that i've ever seen. 2 outs in the first. Throw at a guy. Lose your starter for the game. Gave up atleast 3 runs so far. Good stuff.

[UMFan83]

Damn short wall cost a run

[chopsx9]

Good as time as any to bring this up - is the Mikolas eating a live lizard on youtube widely known?  I just heard it this week and I'm not going to lie I'm pretty friggin grossed out.

Wait...what?  Yeah, horsefeathers this guy.

[Eeyore]

Cardinals fans eat this stuff up. Just when you thought that they rode around on the world's tallest high horse, this happens. They'll talk about this for generations. (To pass the story on because illiteracy) My dad is a Cardinals fan 😞

[chopsx9]

Nice earned run for Mikolas.  LOL.

[Derwood]

"Happ never would have done that to Yadi!!!" or something

Lmao, that’s a joke. But not surprised in the slightest. I would also bet that they want them to do something as retaliatory at the plate too
