The star of the San Luis cardinals, Willsson Contreras, needed to watch their coaches instead of the ball on Monday night in the victory of the 7-6 team over the Pittsburgh pirates.
Contreras was expelled after he stuck in the seventh entrance. He exploded with anger by the referee of the Derek Thomas dish while walking back to the shelter and needed to be held by some cardinal coaches, including the manager Oliver Marmol.

The first base still had the bat in his hand and threw the bat in the first base coach Brown Brown.
Contreras said he did not discuss any release.
“I didn’t discuss any release,” said Contreras. “All I said was: ‘I call the releases on both sides because you are missing for us.’ Then he turned me around.

The chief of the crew, Jordan Baker, told a pool reporter that Contreras and Marmol were “saying vulgar things” to Thomas. Baker added that Contreras contacted the referee.
“We are going to check the tape and what the office sends us, and we will send it, we will send the report to Major League Baseball and let them handle that part of it,” Baker said.
Contreras said he apologized to Brown for throwing the bat.
Game 1 for 4 ended with two ranges driven before being thrown.
