Odor doing his part to #MakeBaseballFunAgain. That was clean. If you're going to wear shitty white Oakleys like Bautista, you can't get rocked like that. Just a bad look.
Odor tried taking his head off with that throw. Guy made no attempt at all in hitting the first basemen in the chest. Bautista is a pussy too but Odor is cheap. He does throw a mean right though.
Maybe. Maybe not. I think he was going for the double play. No reason to give runner an extra base.
I’m fine with the slide and I’m fine with odor’s reaction. When I played in the Dominican they would always slide hard cleats up into second to break up a trouble play. Once or twice I’d just drill the runner in the face to make a point. Slide early or pay consequences
Same thing when someone would try to steal second… I’d hit them in the face with my glove if they’d slide headfirst. Same concept with pitchers backing hitters off the plate.
I’m acknowledging that the “take the runners face off” throw to first happens and is usually coached up by any juco coach worth his weight in grizz mint. But to say that it isn’t cheap as fuck is wrong along with questioning my knowledge on how to play the middles. Did it for a long time and I’m sure you did too Mr. Walker. Just saying trying to hit a runner in the face is less of a baseball play than a hard slide even if the runner is punk bitch Jose Bautista.
Contrary to popular belief a “dirty” slide to break up a double play is not a dirty play.. It’s fucking baseball. The squids at MLB that made the new rule fucked up. If you really watch the full play you would realize that Odors throw being 40 feet to the left of first base and also him dropping down to a near submarine arm slot was a clear attempt at him trying to throw the ball directly into Bautistas face which is MUCH cheaper than trying to break up a double play by taking someone’s legs out(a baseball play). I’ll take getting my legs taken out by a slide any day of the week over a 85 mph throw across the infield to the face.
Anyone who plays baseball knows that slide was barely malicious. We’ve all tried to break up a double play. Odor a whiney bitch and bautista’s a douche.
Maybe I just don’t understand the sport but to me it seems like actually winning against a team who you have a problem with is the best way to do things. Instead everyone tries to “send a message” and nothing productive gets accomplished and players could be injured.
It sounds immature and it probably is but you gotta have events like this to keep engaged over 162 games. Events like this really do galvanize a clubhouse. Look at the Royals last year and they won the WS.
Throwing the first pitch at Bautista, then getting shoved like that over a textbook slide to second? Bush league play. I guess the bat flip really hurt some people’s feelings. Fuck you Rangers.
It’s been 20 years since a canadian team has won your countries past time and the great American Patrick Kane is the best player in your countries past time. Eat shit.
You’re going there? Should we talk Olympics? Or how about World Juniors? Or the fact that Canadians make up more NHL players than any other nationality in the NHL? Pick your battles better next time, pal.
Despite your country’s sub par literacy numbers, I’m confident that you are capable of coming up with an insult better than what you’d hear on a middle school play ground.
Wanna talk olympics? Let’s talk olympics, the total medal count for Canada including both summer and winter is at a merely 449 while the US is at a staggering 2681. “But Canada is only good at winter sports” ok let’s see, Canada is at a total medal count of 170 in the Winter Olympics, while America is at 282.
I was talking hockey. If you can honestly tell me you give a shred of a shit about any other of the winter games, you’re a much bigger sports fan than I am.
Do I give a shit about random ass winter sports like curling? No. But I do give a shit about being the best and America has clearly proven to be overall the greatest power house in all of sports
And well fuck, I mean I guess. If that’s the point you want to prove, sure. Depending on how you look at it. In my books, the sports that matter would be baseball, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, football (not the gay kind), and competitive vaping. And we have a very large representation in these sports. Except football, of course. You can have that one.
USA chants after a Venezuelan punches a Dominican. TFM.
The chanting of “USA USA” was the icing on the cake. Nolan Ryan is proud.
Texas teams throwing haymakers. It’s a TFM.
Nothing more American than pausing a baseball game to bully some Canadians
We all had the pleasure of seeing the best punch in a baseball fight since Nolan Ryan took Robin Ventura around the mound.

“Odor is now 2-5 today”
Still a better fight than all of Mayweather’s combined
The Blue Jays later apologizing
Im soowrry, friend
Odor tried taking his head off with that throw. Guy made no attempt at all in hitting the first basemen in the chest. Bautista is a pussy too but Odor is cheap. He does throw a mean right though.
You obviously don’t understand baseball let alone how middle infield is played.
You really think odor tried throwing that ball to first?
Maybe. Maybe not. I think he was going for the double play. No reason to give runner an extra base.

Odor is cheap? Take another look at that slide, Champ.
Easy, chief. Odor’s not in any position to be calling slides dirty.

Ill take my laps for that but anyone who’s tried to break up a double play has slid like that. Utley’s slide last year was way worse.
Apparently not many people have tried breaking up a double play.

We did “actually win” and we beat the fuck out of them. So it seems like a win-win to me

Fuck you and fuck Canada
Way to go. Compelling argument. Your country’s pass time isn’t even played by your countrymen anymore. Go play in traffic.

You could not pick a worse site to talk shit about the greatest country ever.
You guys have Trump as your GOP front runner, I’d take a break from using that title for a little while if I were you.
You’re talking shit to Americans and you live in fucking Canada. Think about that for a minute.
Canada just got his shit pushed in. Well done E Dawg.
Don’t try and comment in this thread to try and get upvotes like you are a part of this, you parasite. Just give the man an upvote to let him know.

Should we talk about the greatest trophy in all of sports, the Stanley cup? And how long it’s been since a Canadian team has hoisted it?
How long since an American was able to wear a gold medal on ice? (1980)

Ya lap me idc. Go Jays. You don’t know shit about ball if you disagree.
Jays aren’t even gonna make the playoffs, brotha. Don’t you have Molsons to throw on the field?
