[Jones] Mikolas on the challenge of his start after a long 1st: “I’ll take the weak contact all day. Do I think they’re gonna bloop in 10 hits in a row? Probably not, so I’ll play the Vegas odds, I’ll roll the dice, I’ll bet on that all day, that weak contact’s going to turn into outs.”

1. Didn’t he give up multiple walks and home runs?

2. Gonna be honest, he’s going to be really annoying all season if he doesn’t back up the talk with good play.

3. I’m so out on Mikolas both as a pitcher and personality-wise

4. Cool. How about win and execute and not blame bad luck

5. My guy, Betts and Freeman launched you out of the park in the same inning.

6. Dude was fucking garbage today. Delusional ass dude

7. He hasn’t been good for 18 months, but of course Cardinals give him an extension

8. Please stop talking. Please.

9. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him have a good outing in the last few years. Like if he got a W it was because the Cards scored a ton of runs.

10. I like what he said, he’s got the right attitude. I don’t expect him to pitch especially well anymore but I appreciate him calling the Dodgers checkbook baseball

11. Someone posted this quote in the Cards After Dark thread and I thought they had made it up. Oh my.

12. Mik is that guy you know that thinks he knows everything, and loves to let everyone know by making outlandish statements. You know the guy, the one with a HS education that knows everything about politics and economics, and has all the easy “common sense” answers.

13. I guess we know who will fill the void Jack Flaherty left.

14. You’re only allowed to be a jackass if you’re good at baseball.

15. Hey Miles,

    I don’t know if you lurk in this sub for ‘motivation’ or whatever, but lemme just say:

    You are fucking garbage and I cannot stand watching you in the mound. You seem like such an unlikeable douchebag which could almost be tolerable if you were total fucking shit. You’re 35 and have been above average one of the last three years. You’ve had a sub-4 ERA once since 2018.

    You want respect? Earn it.

16. Same cardinals

17. This man sure is talking a lot of trash for somebody pitching so many balls right down the middle.

18. It’s gonna be a long ass year

19. Mikolas was always a one year wonder and it was idiotic to extend him, but that’s what the front office does these days. His personality is tiresome and not funny

20. and this subreddit downvoted me for mentioning signing bauer.

21. I prefer lance Lynn sass

22. “Vegas odds” lol

    not a great comment with all the controversy surrounding the one and only Shohei Ohtani.

    Have you ever seen “evil Ohtani” at work? Don’t make that man mad!

23. Man, I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about. Why even say this in this scenario? The Dodgers hit bullets all game. What bloops is he referring to? Even the grounders were hit hard. Cmon Mik, don’t say shit that just tees up the backlash.

24. Give me a fucking break. This “unlucky” bullshit again?

25. There was a time when I really liked Mikolas. I can’t exactly remember it after reading that, but I know that there was.

26. “I have no desire to make any changes”

27. Weak contact? Didn’t he give up 2 or 3 home runs? I swear to god this whole team is just full of shit.

28. Says the man throwing batting practice out there

29. Oh great. The excuses are starting already.

    Mikolas, you just suck. Shut the hell up. Those pitches to Betts and Freeman weren’t soft contact.
