Support NeoGAF

[Sanjuro]

Maybe the Blue Jays need an enforcer. They could hire Tie Domi to be the first base coach.
Probably not a good idea. Odor would still kick his butt.

Is The Mountie or Lance Storm still around?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I always see the ketchup vs. mustard debate in here. Just to clarify, everyone is cool with relish, yes?

Relish is great.

Jericho will do anything for a buck, but he jobs a lot.

Xia out here banning people for drinking Michelob Ultra. I can get behind this. Make NeoGaf great again.

What a hypocrite.

Or someone who knew exactly what Bats' slide was all about?

First they came for the Michelob Ultra drinkers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Michelob Ultra drinker.

Then they came for the Coors Lite drinkers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Coors Lite drinker.

Then they came for the 40s drinkers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a 40s drinker.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Odor with the same shove + right hander combo at another incident. Looks like that's his thing.

how dare you side with the classless Blue Jays

 

[The Elite]

do the blue jays have to hear USA USA USA chants wherever they go?

Michael Saunders and Russell Martin are offended.

It's only a matter of time before Odor ends someone's career with his antics.

 

[Windu]

Canadians and Michelob Ultra drinkers getting banned? amazing. Next we need to get rid of Ketchup lovers.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Damn Duff you still mad at me for beating you last year? I took a whooping in fantasy baseball

 

[CosmicQueso]

So dirty slides are okay, but only when they're against players who slide dirty themselves.

Nah.

How about, dirty slides are not okay, no matter who does them?

But aren't all slides dirty?

Michelob Ultra is a bannable offense, and Fuck the Angels.

Never!!! Well just Mikey.
E:: New owners, we have a welcome back mat waiting for you Mikey. Come back to the good side!!

Batflipgate is almost totally behind us now - but one final thought: Shouldn't the homeplate ump be taking some heat from MLB for not tossing Bush?

 

[jello44]

i wonder how well it will run on my laptop. it's only $40 on PC if you get the basic version, but then again it will probably look prettier if i get the ps4 version.

I doubt it will run well at all on mine. I just opted for the PS4 version. GCU + Rewards certs made it about the same price as the PC version.

Every day I see what they still owe Pujols I thank my lucky stars Arte Moreno is alive.

Well look at that. Seems he (Odor) has a history of sliding worse than Bautista and throwing sucker punches.

OH PLEASE CANADA. This stuff's even worse than Michelob Ultra.

No one over the age of 20 drinks XXX.

So what you're saying is that you've really been J.A. Happ this whole time.

 

[RBH]

His coworker is Shane Victorino?!

 

[CosmicQueso]

Toronto Star's Richard Griffin:

Matt Bush is an idiot. Rougned Odor is a punk. Jose Bautista is an old-school baller that plays the game right. John Gibbons is spontaneous and genuine.

Good stuff.

Batflipgate is almost totally behind us now - but one final thought: Shouldn't the homeplate ump be taking some heat from MLB for not tossing Bush?

Warnings were issued. Bautista got drilled in the arm, ball was going to his ribs. Not like Bush tried to take his head off.

Eduardo Perez thinks it was the "perfect spot" to hit Bautista, and thinks that Bush must have been ordered to hit him.

But tossing Bush for a pitch to the ribs? Come on.

Is he on the phone with his PED dealer?

As someone who had ribs broken from a pitch, I don't see how it is much better.

 

[Sanjuro]

Is he on the phone with his PED dealer?

Yes. Add those to the order. Thank you......Mr. Cosby.

 

[bonesmccoy]

But tossing Bush for a pitch to the ribs? Come on.

In those circumstances? Yes, absolutely. The ump has to protect Bautista as well as make an attempt to keep control of the game.

 

[ObiDin]

Bush throwing at a guy in a close ball game was selfish as well. Lots of shit went down on both sides.

This is also true. But I really just came here to post this:

 

[cashman]

I strongly doubt that Bush hit him on purpose. Bautista made a bigger deal out that than he needed to.

 

[ObiDin]

I strongly doubt that Bush hit him on purpose. Bautista made a bigger deal out that than he needed to.

I'm pretty sure Bush hit him on purpose. No way to prove that and no ejection at that point was necessary. What's even funnier was Bautista's comments in the offseason about "wearing" it. Guess his ego just couldn't take it.

 

[ElNino]

I strongly doubt that Bush hit him on purpose. Bautista made a bigger deal out that than he needed to.

What? That was about as blatant as they come for intentional (or ordered) beans. And I don't even have a problem with it, as I've been thrown at plenty of times, even in little league and high school.

 

[BFIB]

If this is the treatment Bautista gets, what's it going to be like for the Cards?

 

[Parch]

Of course he hit him on purpose. You could see it building up to that the entire series. There was tension against Batista every game, then they wait until late in the final game of the series to plunk him. Trying to avoid further retaliations perhaps?
Rangers trying to make this all about the slide is ridiculous. It was blatantly obvious Batista got plunked in retaliation for the bat flip.

Well, yes. But I'm pretty sure the punch was for the slide.The whole inning was a study in escalation.

And yeah, I'm pretty sure the Rangers did wait until the last game so that there wouldn't be 6 more games with possible injuries and more suspensions beyond this.

 

[cashman]

Nah, the Rangers are in the business of winning games. I've said it before, they're not trying to face Encarnacion, who has burned them before, with the opportunity for him to put the Jays ahead.
