I think the Cardinals had the right to be ticked about the ridiculous bat flip that Puig did.  Without that, I don't think the celebration on third base - which I thought was totally fine - bothers anybody.

 

This "Keepers of the Code" thing that the Cardinals have self-appointed for themselves has gotten more than a little old though.  And I'm a Cards fan.  As proof, here's my 1987 John Tudor jersey:

I really wish Joe Buck and all announcers would get a fucking clue. You only "strike out the side", when its a 1-2-3 inning. . . .

That video led me down a rabbit hole that led to an awesome quick little brawl where Pat Corrales (Indians manager) went after Dave Stewart (A's pitcher), trying to kick him.  Stewart promptly decked Corrales.

So many trouble-makers over the years.  You can see how the work of The Guardians is never done.

 

Perhaps a little gratitude might be in order for holding things together for so long.

Can someone screen cap Jon Jay walking away after striking out while the screen behind him says 'Strike out Cancer!'? Basically sums up the Jon Jay experience.
