Yadier Molina in my opinion is the greatest catcher of all time, he may not have hit with a lot of power but his baseball iq and defense was off the charts good.

[thechief_]

Yadier's IQ for the game was just unmatched. Not to mention the absolute cannon the dude possessed 😤

[jeremyirons]

thanks for throwing Paul Konerko in there with those all time greats. We love Pauly!!

[james]

Yadi was awesome to watch and proud I got to see him play❤️

[champaignfarmer]

Catchers are can carry an organization! But I also love as this dude is calling out some dawgs he also throws beltre in there, that dude just loved baseball, he always realized how lucky he was to be able to play a child’s game for a career and I loved watching him play because of it!

[judededmon]

I miss that GOAT so much. I love Yadi with all my heart and desire to be like him so so much.

[ronaldkonkoma]

He'll be that guy telling stories 30 years from now remembering the inning and the count when everybody listening couldn't even remember if it was a spring game or a mid summer

[Dan-odzx]

One of the greatest catchers of all time for sure!

[seanslattery]

It's good to hear that metheny asked Molina who said ask the catcher if they pitcher has it and should stay in. Nobody sees or knows the pitchers better than the catcher and some coaches and teams don't do it . I Even see managers calling pitches which is a no no . Molina is / was great catcher and knows what's up

[DebStCin]

That’s because Yadi knows and I hope he comes back to manage the Cardinals and get them back to playing like the StLous Cardinals we are accustomed to

[senorpepper]

Growing up in San Diego (family from stl) my favorite player was ozzie. I live in stl (20 yrs now) yadi was special. I like defense. It could be football, baseball, basketball. I like defense.

[josephhale]

You aren't lying! Been watching cardinals baseball since 1981. Yadier Molina is sorely missed. Matheny called a great game. Yadier called the best game! And now we are having life after Yadier. To me Yadier Molina deserved an MVP Award. There's no doubt he's a 1st ballot Hall of Famer. He's the best defensive catcher of all time ! WE REALLY MISS YOU YADIER!!!

[robertbowles]

Yadi knew pitchers and opposing hitters

[chrisweidner]

The loss of Yadi. Cardinals are 10-22. Not Contreras’s fault. The gravitas of Yadi has obviously left a huge void that has yet to be replaced.

[fritzworley]

I was building a house next to his house in the St. Louis area and he and his wife asked us over to eat lunch in theri driveway because they were BBQ'ing at the time. Super nice people.

[kochisland]

If I could have one catcher on my all-time team, there’s no way on God’s green earth I’m not taking Yadier Molina

[chrisellis]

Everything went thru him and he's gone... a very important piece to the cardinals success

[iamthepapi]

Now that Yadier Molina has gone we're seeing how good he actually was...

The difference is brutal!!!

We've never been this bad.... Yadi Molina retires and all of a sudden were out here looking like a Triple-A team if that...

It just goes to show how good that guy really was... I wish Yadi would seriously consider coming back to manage this team!!!
If I were the Cardinals I would offer Yadi whatever he wants!!

We have to do something because I think we've lost eight in a row and out of our last 20 I'm pretty sure we've lost like 18....

I was sure after Oliver pulled Jordan Montgomery after 89 pitches after the 6th that it would be the last straw and they would fire the guy immediately, because as soon as he made the move we lost simultaneously lol... But I was wrong. It feels like they're going to just ride it out... Which sucks because we will never dig ourselves out with Oliver Marmol managing...

We're about to lose over 100 games,
I'll tell you that. If they don't do something if they don't fire this guy we will continue to lose!!

It's serious too. Last year he was getting in the habit of yanking Yadier Molina or Albert Pujols from the game early, way too much...

Then we got eliminated from the playoffs without Adam Wainwright even touching the ball... That's just disrespectful and we heard Adam being negative in the clubhouse, we heard him talking in a way that we've never hear or seen before.. I mean, at least I've never heard Adam talk the way he talked after we got eliminated.... He was questioning everything!!!

Then there's the situation with Tyler Oneil.... I really don't even need to say anything about that because Oliver was so out of pocket it's ridiculous. It's like he's trying to divide the clubhouse. It's like after every game he wants the fans and everyone to think about him.... After every loss, the only thing on my mind is Oliver Marmol because it's his silly moves that are losing these games. Even today he probably could have pulled Wainwright after the 4th when he got in trouble out there in the 5th. Wainwright looked so good out there today, He had five strikeouts in two innings. His next outing is going to be great. It was a solid start for him being its the first... Definitely proved he still belongs!!

Then you got yesterday's game... Do you think Jordan Montgomery was happy being taken out after 6 innings and just 89 pitches??
Now another player has a bad taste in his mouth and they are all pretending like it's not a problem but in the back of everyone's head they just don't want to play for this guy ANYMORE!!!! Oliver Marmol is affecting this game way more than he should...
We probably should have won the last five games in a row!! However the game will be moving along and we will be winning and then this little guy comes off the bench and just destroys everything and we lose....

He doesn't know how to use our bullpen or a starter!! Today he put Edman out there and immediately yanked him for Nolan Gorman I think it was....

And that's because Oliver is selfish and he's making personal moves to try to make himself look good.... But it never panns out, it is always a loss... When I see a manager doing stuff like that, second-guessing himself in just 5 seconds time, that's crazy.... It tells me that he doesn't even know what he has or what he wants... Second-guessing himself he's unsure.

It's just brutal man, it has to stop, they have to fire him....

[oshkoshdom]

Molina may have been the best and that's coming from a life long Cubs fan

[diagnosedtopg]

We miss yadi more than anyone outside of St Louis will ever know.
