Miles Mikolas and Yadier Molina: A Dugout Discussion
Miles Mikolas: Hey Yadi, remember that game in ’18 where we had that crazy extra-innings win? Man, you called some incredible pitches.
Yadier Molina: Of course, Miles! That was one for the books. I swear, you were throwing your slider like it was on a string. Do you still practice it as much?
Miles Mikolas: Every day, my friend. Having a great catcher like you makes me want to perfect every pitch even more. Speaking of which, any new strategies up your sleeve this season?
Yadier Molina: Always, Mikolas. The game’s evolving, and so are we. But hey, how’s your fishing hobby going? Caught anything big lately?
Miles Mikolas: Oh, you bet! I caught a massive marlin last month. Felt almost as good as striking out the side. How about you? Any off-field adventures?
Yadier Molina: Just spending quality time with the family, you know? But speaking of adventures, I heard you’re quite the karaoke star. Any truth to that rumor?
Miles Mikolas: Guilty as charged! Sometimes, after a tough game, belting out some Journey or Bon Jovi hits the spot. Maybe we should have a team karaoke night!
Yadier Molina: Haha! I can see it now. But only if you promise to pitch us another gem like you did on your birthday against the Royals. Deal?
Miles Mikolas: Deal! As long as you promise to keep working your magic from behind the plate. Together, we’re unstoppable.
Yadier Molina: Always, Miles. Always.
As the dugout buzzes with excitement, these two dedicated teammates continue to share stories, strategies, and laughs, showcasing the camaraderie that makes baseball more than just a game. Stay tuned for more Cardinals moments!
