@SlangsOnSports Darrell Porter did it against the’82 Brewers for the Cardinals!

@AugieNash @AugieNash You know what I keep saying: We need to get this man in the Cardinals HOF. Darrell had a huge impact on the turnaround of the franchise and was a key leader on two World Series teams. #15

[Leon C. Wirth @LeonCWirth]

@RickyH49 @AugieNash Wow! So with that as background and re-watching the clip, I’m guessing he must’ve thought Joel was messing with you and tried to take him down in your defense and wound up taking you both down? He was certainly feisty that day! 😂

[Leon C. Wirth @LeonCWirth]

@AugieNash Wow, I totally forgot about this incident. When I think of this rivalry, I often think of the brawl that started after a hard slide from Will Clark into second with Oquendo and Ozzie.

[Leon C. Wirth @LeonCWirth]

@dgoold @kyler416 Thanks for that explanation, Derrick. So true. Appreciate your work for us Cardinals fans!

@Buster_ESPN His behavior was absurd and indefensible. @dgoold has some great coverage here with Eddings’ comments after the game: https://t.co/mntcj9XX1a

[Derrick Goold @dgoold]

Spoke to Doug Eddings last night and his comments are in this story — free for all to read …

Ump took issue with rookie's cap. Cardinals irked by ump. Ivan Herrera's homer erases it all. https://t.co/QkDrfPO00p

[Leon C. Wirth @LeonCWirth]

@dgoold Even the Rockies TV crew caught on to Eddings’ power trip vibe:

@dgoold @kyler416 Seems like Eddings was baiting the Cardinals at every turn including the emphatic “Confirmed!” after the review, too.

[Leon C. Wirth @LeonCWirth]

@dgoold Great report as usual @dgoold! Did Eddings provide any response about the blown call at home? Seems like Eddings was baiting the Cardinals at every turn including the emphatic “Confirmed!” after the review tool.

[Leon C. Wirth @LeonCWirth]

@AugieNash Wow! Great clip! And I noticed at the end…this was the FIRST SAVE of the season (career?) of the great Todd Worrell!

@STLSprtsCntrl Their hope. Their pride. Their self-respect. Their already anemic attendance. Their chance of winning every fifth game. Their ability to assess young talent for the future.
