Not a fan of either team, nothing against either player. The slide was a clean slide.

Odor should be suspended for a pretty lengthy amount of time.

I agree. Give him a10 game suspension.

I agree, but I don't think Bautista new what planet he was on for the following ten minutes!

I didn't see a sucker punch. Watch the replay-- Jose was leaning back with a fist ready to go first.

Plus, if Odor didn't move off to the side of base, he would have a broken leg right now. I understand why he did what he did.

And the slide was illegal. After all, they reviewed it and called him out for that very reason.

Bautista was getting ready to punch; Odor was ready.:p

I'll bet everyone saw this one coming down main street:

I think what Odor did really stinks!



Thank You - I'll be here all week.


rim-shot...from a union man at that
.

I've watched it a few times and I saw them jawing at each, Odor shoving him and then bam. Also when you watch the video you can see the low throw made by Odor which loos like head hunting to me. Take a look at the video from this angle: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FEI3WdzsCI8. Bautista doesn't assume a fighting stance or clench a fist after Odor's shove, he puts his hand up creating distance.

Dropping his arm to make throw to first is standard protocol for the relay man on the double play to get the runner to clear out.

I see Bautista starting to reach back and clinch his fist right before his short visit to Disneyland.

From the sound of things we need to set up a cage match during the 7th inning stretch :D

Where's the wrestling guy?! we demand a year of XMLB!!! :D:D:D


Seriously, this stuff has been going on since baseball was invented. It's part of the game.

Not OK for Baustista to slide like he did but OK for Odor? :rolleyes:
