Alonso hurled the ball into the crowd, tossing away a milestone marker for the Cardinals' top prospect. 'I feel like an idiot.'
Maybe not totally true for Alonso, who will no longer be throwing balls into stands, at least not any time soon.
“I feel like a piece of crap,” Alonso said. “In the heat of the moment, you kind of just get lost. I got up from trying to make a play, the umpire said we’re going to switch this ball out. OK, I’m going to do what I always do, I always throw the ball in the stands, but I’ll never throw the ball in the stands again. I’m just going to roll every ball to the dugout when they’re going to switch it out.
“I feel horrible about it,” he added. “I feel really bad. I apologized to him when I was at second after the forceout and I’m really sorry and I’m going to try to talk to him and get him something for tomorrow as an apology. It’s stupid. It’s a really bad look. I feel like an idiot and I feel terrible. I feel really bad.”It’s been a season of mostly misery for the Cardinals, who fell to 54-69, but as they continue to shift their focus toward 2024, their new shortstop offered some reprieve.
