No awareness from Walker.

That was a poor effort by Walker.

I'll be very interested in CCS's take on this. Lindsay is pretty even-handed. Here's mine, FWIW.
One the one hand, Mikolas threw at Happ twice. On the other, there was no warning issued after the first. Furthermore, once he was hit, as Chip pointed out, the Cubs didn't say a thing. Baseball justice was meted out. Happ takes his base, warnings are issued, and the game continues.
IMO, Barksdale and crew escalated the situation with the no-warning ejection. And then get Oli while he was calm. He must have said a magic word. The umpires inserted themselves into the game unnecessarily. Game management 101 and this crew failed IMO.
Further, I wonder if Oli is a marked manager. I wonder if the way he handled the CB Bucknor situation has the umpires looking for him. The Cardinals seem to consistently get bad calls against them. Yeah I'm a fan so I'd like to see if statistics bear that out. But its one more reason to be rid of Oli if true.

Oli sure gets thrown out of a lot of games. I wondered myself if he was on their bad side.Joe Shlabotnik wrote: ↑July 27 23, 7:43 pmI'll be very interested in CCS's take on this. Lindsay is pretty even-handed. Here's mine, FWIW.

He and Bucknor did shake hands before a game recently.

Not sure why people here think only a warning should be given.
Mikolas hit happ on purpose and deserved to be ejected. That’s how it works when you hit someone on purpose. Case closed.
Mikolas might be getting suspended as well.

This game puts the Cubs at .500, play the Cards, the cure for what ails you.
