Hall of Famer Schoendienst dies at 95

Spent 67 of his 76 years in baseball with Cardinals

Red Schoendienst, a fixture with the Cardinals and one of the organization's most beloved figures, died on Wednesday at the age of 95.

Few players across the history of Major League Baseball were as synonymous with a particular franchise as Schoendienst was with the Cardinals. The Hall of Famer spent nearly three-quarters of a century in uniform and more than six decades with St. Louis.

Gotta love those unwritten rules. Pittsburgh had a 5-0 lead at Arizona in the 7th. The D'Backs reliever was wild. His curveball was all over the place, he hit a guy and almost hit another. He wasn't throwing at anyone - who the fuck lobs a curveball to hit a guy? Didn't matter. Musgrove comes out for the bottom of the inning and plunks the first guy with a fastball to the ass. Wild pitch, error, single, and Musgrove is gone - so much for his shutout. Bull pen comes in and gives up a 3 run bomb, so much for that 5-0 lead. Arizona eventually won, 9-5.

But the important thing is Musgrove "sent a message" by beaning the leadoff man and starting a rally. :roll1:

I'm all for sending messages and such but it starts with properly analyzing the offense you re sending a message over.

To your point, no one "hits with intent" utilizing the curveball.
