Willson Contreras fractured left arm , got hit on a JD Martinez swing. I hate that he got hurt but with him being by far the best Cards hitter right now I hope he's out for a long time. I don't wish injuries on anyone & I really liked Willson as a Cub but it's pretty easy to cheer against him now.

Catchers interference isn't all that common, but it's usually the tip of the glove or maybe a bit of the hand. Forearm is really uncommon, odd move on his part.

Yeah, that was odd on Willy. He was setup so close. Why?

That was a recipe for disaster, Willy was to close to a batter who bats far back in the batters box like JD Martinez.
This is what the Cardinals told Willy to do and wanted him to be closer like that to help improve framing, "the Cardinals Way"

Happ got Wiley last year, Martinez got him this year. Think the Cards plunk Martinez his first time up? I wonder how many times Wiley was hit as a Cub? Didn't seem like a whole lot.

@talkinbaseball_ Are the Cardinals to blame for Willson Contreras' injury?

Happ got him on one of his long follow throughs , this was on the swing and Martinez did nothing wrong . Happ did nothing wrong either. He got Molina on his swing also. How many other catchers has his long follow throughs has he hit?

How many other catchers has his long follow throughs has he hit? True, but there is a difference of getting a guy on a follow through than the catcher being the one interfering with a swing.

I don't wish injuries on anyone & I really liked Willson as a Cub but it's pretty easy to cheer against him now. Somewhere I heard he should be back in July. I also don't wish injury on anyone, but I can't say that I ever "liked" Willson as a Cub. Too much of a showboat for my tastes, shot his mouth off too much too. I always rooted for him as he was a Cub, but I certainly wasn't unhappy they didn't offer him an extension.

Oh I didn't want to keep him either but my reason was the yearly hamstring issues it seemed he just couldn't shake but I understand his attitude putting people off for sure. I loved his enthusiasm & high energy.
