Tonight, the Cardinals begin a road series against the Big Strong Mets. They very graciously resisted the urge to put the Cardinals in the hospital, but less graciously won a three-game series. But the Cardinals did win that final game, and tensions were high, all beginning long before the Mets ever faced the Cardinals, when their team full of HBP leaders got hit by pitches a lot. But specifically in that series, when Stubby’s cushion got hit in the face. A wink wink nudge nudge high fastball that was totally not on purpose to Arenado caused the benches to brawl and well that happened in the bottom of the 8th of a game that was already over, so we’re pretty much picking up right after that happened.
