Bautista: "He got me pretty good so I have to give him that. But it takes a little bit of a bigger man, I guess, to knock me down" #BlueJays

Lmao Odor, this is both the best thing and the worst thing.

 

[CygnusXS]

Lol, I went to check out the final boxscore from the Rome Braves game and they're headed into the 18th inning.

LOL. Dude got clocked, but comes out trolling. Let's just say that Odor would have killed him if that was allowed to continue.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

So, what caused the fight?

Matt Bush hit Bautista with a 97mph fastball. Then Bautista did an Utley slide into Odor at 2B.

Had Bautista not pussed back and been grabbed by Beltre, that second toss by Roogie would have certainly put him down. Watch the replay of the second left that missed by an inch.

 

[Slime]

Lol, Bautista. I can't blame him for being pissed after being deliberately pelted in the ribs by a sociopath, but he got clocked good by Odor.

 

[GK86]

That Bautista quote is awesome lol.

 

[cube444]

Judging by that video, this looks like Bautista's first ever fist fight.

 

[BigAT]

It's worth noting that Bautista was cocking his fist back and getting ready at the same time that punch came in.

 

[User 479360]

But seriously baseball needs a third-man in rule so you don't get all the nonsense with them hopping around and such, let them settle it in a fight cleanly instead of all the scrum silliness

Ignorant Texans

Typical America/Texas. Not the brightest.

Stay salty Rangers fans!

The salt is real.

 

[rekameohs]

That Odor punch was fantastic. Solid hit, man

Edit: and the U-S-A chant by the fans is fucking hilarious

Bautista: "I slid hard into 2B. I could have injured him, I chose not to..didn't appreciate being hit."

yep... Both should be suspended. Obviously Odor should get a game or two more.

On MLB Network, Eric Byrnes notes that Odor might have tried to throw this ball right in Bautista's face (slo-mo)

Dallas Braden only uses mustard?

It was a corndog but a little ketchup plz

Yikes. Definitely looks like it to me with the angle of his throw.

[Chuck]

lmao Pillar, gotta love him, but he comes into that fight like a little kid in a big boy fight.

 

[Dominican Power]

Baseball players are bitch made.

Well, the Rome Braves got a run in the top of the 18th, but then gave up a run to tie it again on a HBP, walk, wild pitch, and a fielder's choice. They're going to the 19th inning now.

 

[Chuck]

did anyone make a roundabout/jojo edit?

Yeah, I mean I don't know who he's throwing to if it's not Bautista's face.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Matt Cain with a no decision after 7 strong innings, 1 earned run, and just 1 run in support?

CORRAN BREAK OUT THE MEMES!

 

[bonesmccoy]

Lmao, I'm so happy this happened to Bautista

 

[Silver Arrows]

alright fuck it that made me laugh

also, way to get kids to play ball MLB. Gonna have them punching each other out on the field now!

 

[nahlakhai]

What a time to be alive..

Matt Bush bringing the prison brawl mentality with him

 

[Lexxism]

Lmao, I'm so happy this happened to Bautista

Hopefully this make his brain work again regarding his contract next season !

 

[DireStr8s]

Damn, I always thought Joey Bats was Votto.

 

[Chuck]

Hopefully this make his brain work again regarding his contract next season !

maybe he'll stop thinking he has a chance at a 5 year contract.

Damn

 

[bonesmccoy]

I find the punch hilarious and deserving (for the slide, not the post season murder) but throwing at him is fucking psychotic. Odor should get a more than a fine for that.

5 runs in the top half. Game over.

Cross counter!

 

[CosmicQueso]

Jays fans talking about 3rd man rules and instilling instigator punishments in baseball is just so beautifully stupid.

5 runs in the top half. Game over.

8 runs. Looks like they'll finish 6-34 with RISP today, and 20 LOB.

They're Braves alright.

 

[Chuck]

can we have our right fielder back yet, barves?

 

[GhostWriter24]

That fucking Odor punch...

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Benintendi got promoted to AA!

 

[Sanjuro]

Odor-Beaters

 

[User 479360]

Rangers/their fans need to cut down on the salt. Their arteries must be hurting.

Jesus Christ what a fucking scumbag. Do they usually suspend people in baseball for real lengths of time?

Eric Byrnes is delusional.
