Yadier Molina leveled in collision at plate

During Tuesday's Pirates-Cardinals game, Pirates elft fielder Jose Tabata hit a single to right field in the second inning. Cardinals right fielder Carlos Beltran came up throwing, and fired a laser to Yadier Molina at home plate. Josh Harrison flew into Molina like a missile...but Molina held on to the ball. Harrison's collision with Molina was completely un-necessary...

Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina was absolutely crushed by Pirates base runner Josh Harrison on a close play at the plate Tuesday night.

Miraculously, though, Molina was able to hold on to the ball for the out – though he certainly...

Nobody Likes Yadi When He's Angry (Except For Us, You Sillies!)

Oh, boy.   Man, oh man, oh man, they've really just gone and done it now, haven't they?  Hasn't anyone told the Pittsburgh Pirates about what happens when Yadier Molina feels the slightest bit disrespected or even just SORT OF pissed off??? NO ONE???  Really? That seems unfair, but I'm not here to complain. Because if history has anything to say about it, ...

Shelby Miller Loved Everywhere Except In Springfield

There’s some strong indications that Shelby Miller could be called up by the Cards when the rosters expand on September 1st.  ”Why should we care about some stunod with a 4.89 ERA in Triple-A?  Hey, Grey, we care about stunods now?”  That’s you talking to yourself just as a pretty girl walks by and thinks you’re crazy for talking to yourself.  But you don’t care,...

Game 128: Cardinals 4 Pirates 3

If you really want to get down to brass tacks, this whole game turned on one play. After the Pirates took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning, Yadier Molina lead off the fifth wiht a single. Skip Schumaker followed that up with a ball hit to left-center that seemed to hang up in the air for forever. It looked like Jose Tabata was going to be able to make a play on it, but...
