[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1755234, member: 3916"] Former Cardinals manager grabs headlines........................................... [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/jeff-gordon/tipsheet-shildt-of-all-people-triggered-padres-giants-firestorm/article_aef7961a-4d9c-527c-9602-5541f7bce7ba.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/jeffgordon']Jeff Gordon[/URL] When it rains on Mike Shildt, it pours. The former Cardinals manager is getting some fill-in work at third base coach with the San Diego Padres while Matt Williams recovers from repairs. Soon Shildt will retreat back into the shadows of player development for that franchise. But his time back in uniform was marked by an unfortunate controversy. Shildt is an old school baseball man. Therefore he is a keeper of the sport’s unwritten rules. In the heat of competition, after the San Francisco Giants violated one of these unwritten rules by gratuitously stealing a base with a 10-1 lead Tuesday, Shildt went off. While yelling at the Giants dugout, he used a profanity that is widely used as a synonym for “guy” or “fellow” in sports. This is the same profanity that Cincinnati star Joey Votto used while taunting St. Louis fans during a news conference. You may recall that he referred to “some (stuff)-talking (profanity-ers) in St. Louis” after the Reds swept the Cardinals last season. Somehow this profanity proved triggering to Giants coach Antoan Richardson and one thing led to another. A furious Richardson was ejected from the game, and after the game a still-furious Richardson accused Shildt of yelling the profanity with racial undertones. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]TALKIN’ BASEBALL[/B] Here is what folks have been writing about Our National Pastime: 5 reporters with thoughts about our favorite past time ............................................
