Jose Bautista flips a bat, Barely, then all hell breaks loose. Baseball guys have been flipping bats forever, so why do players take it as a personal insult? There’s no crying, remember?

The Cardinals are off to their worst start in franchise history, with the worst record in the National League. Their defense has made 10 errors in 11 games, and continuing to play Matt Adams shows they are not committed to improving their defense any time soon. Adams is hitting .167, so using him in left field ahead of Grichuk or Jose Martinez makes little sense.
