1. 6 home runs lol

2. PCA? More like DFA

3. Cardinals should move on from Mikolas. This has to be the final straw. No reason why he makes another start

4. Welp, I don’t know who I hate more, the Cubs, who I’ve hated since 1973, or Miles Mikolas, who I’ve hated since the beginning of this season.

5. We just witnessed history!!!!!! Miles did it, the crazy bastard!!!!!! Most HR allowed by a Cards pitcher in a single game!!!!!

6. This has to be among the worst pitching performances ever. SIX home runs?????

7. LOLOLOLOL the home run probability in the bottom right

8. back to his old self 🔥🔥🔥

9. People need their asses fired.

10. get his pedo mustache looking ass out of the league! DFA to hell

11. This is sad lol

12. Fuck it, let’s see how many home runs Mikolas can give them.

13. Hahahahahahaha. I don’t think I’ve hated one of our players this much since Ty Wiggington.

14. Keep him out there and make him finish the whole game. Straight up make the MLBPA file a grievance. Someone NEEDS TO PAY FOR THIS.

15. Nobody from the Cards camp cares enough to change

16. Alright Mikolas is dogshit and the Cubs have a good lineup but you just don’t give up this many homers and barreled balls unless you’re tipping pitches or you bet the over on the other team

17. Miles Mikolas needs to be thrown into the ocean

18. Let him pitch all 9 innings today then release him immediately after the final out.

19. Didn’t even give us a chance today.

20. LMAO

    Unserious organization.

21. “It has not been Miles’s afternoon”

22. So, we come into Chicago.. get absolutely fucking shelled and lay down by the second inning? Why in the motherfuck is he still out there? Is there anybody warming up? What the fuck is going on

23. 

24. Is today the day we see Noot on the mound? Position player pitching is the only reason I’m still watching.

25. i want a refund for purchasing apple tv today

26. We’re watching the end of the road of Mikolas’ career.

27. Well I’m gonna go drink and enjoy the rest of my Holliday

28. The hard cuts to the empty bullpen are actually fucking hilarious

29. Batting practice

30. Mikolas is damn lucky Kip Wells was a thing, that’s all I have to say

31. [Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Top 4):**

    1. Brendan Donovan
    2. Masyn Winn
    3. Alec Burleson

32. I get that is the third inning, but why are we not bringing Matz in? Your division rivals, you’re allegedly in a wild card hunt and you just… let this keep going? No one warming up in the bullpen. What is this.

    Also, people need to stop asking why people aren’t filling the stands. With 2/5 of the staff basically giving you zero chance, why would anyone want to go?

33. starting to feel like bumgardner’s final outing.

    get the fuck off the field.

34. Keep him in until the game is over then DFA after.

35. Miles would be great pitching in the home run derby. 🙄

36. I bet you could here a pin drop in the dugout

37. He smashed the record for most homeruns given up in 3 IP

38. Mikolas is such a piece of shit MAGA douche, this is just funny now.

39. Miles Mikolas is a baseball terrorist

40. We’re paying 18 million dollars for this fyi

41. The empty bullpen is hilarious. Like what is Oli even supposed to do? His offense hasn’t scored a run since fucking June. Why waste an arm when this moron can just keep giving up nukes since the game ended at 1:30.

42. so before i could understand why you wouldn’t want to dfa mikolas, mostly because like all of our aaa starters were injured and it wouldn’t be a good idea to make their rotation consist of like two starters. however, the aaa starters are no longer injured, therefore…

43. 

    just turned the game on

44. Let Mikolas throw 130 pitches and croak out there
