I don't seem to understand why Odor punched him |
|
|
Made a late slide to try to hit him in the leg (he missed) and then got up in his face. Bautista was apparently unhappy about some other play. |
|
|
i think he slid into him on purpose
|
|
|
@cap
So Odor realized that Bautista was trying to slide into his leg? |
|
|
extremely late slide (slid right before he got into the bag) in hopes of taking out Odor's leg, which is now illegal trying to intentionally break up a double play. Bautista also has a recent history of showboating after he stared at a home run in last year's postseason. Apparently Odor had enough with his attitude. |

Now I think of it
Bautista deserved it lol |

Bautista got up in Odor's face too before Odor punches him

Rangers still salty over batflip.
Matt Bush hits Bautista with a pitch.
Bautista does an illegal slide to send a message.
Odor was (allegedly) trying to throw the ball at Bautista's face.
Bautista turns on him and calls him out (for the throwing at his face).
Odor also has a track record of punching people, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt5eZJWMELo |

Oh yes Death, Matt Bush, the guy who was in prison during the 2015 ALDS, is salty about the batflip
Lmfao give me a break, Im pretty sure Matt Bush didnt mean it. The Blue Jays have come off as abunch of whinny cksuckers that blew a simple mistake way out of porportion. And it honestly doesnt surprise me because the Blue Jays play the game like abunch of undisciplined children, always trying to have it their way and arguing every little call that goes there way.
Honestly it felt good to see Odor knock Bautista down a peg or two. I'm sure he'll think twice before pulling that bs again |

And it is comical you think Odor was trying to throw at his face, you are supposed to throw low when you are trying to avoid a takeout slide, if you played baseball you'd know that one |
|

I probably would have done the same thing if someone kept trying to be dirty like that |
|

Stop putting words in my mouth you salty moron.
I never said that Matt Bush was salty about the batflip, intentionally hit him, or that Odor try to throw it at his face. If you had any reading comprehension skills, you'd realize that is exactly what I said. |

You literally write...
"Rangers still salty about batflip...Bush hits Bautista with pitch...Odor (allegedly) trying to throw a ball at Bautista's face"
I didnt need to put the words in your mouth lmfao the way you worded all of that makes the conclusion i came away with very easy to conjure up. |

Then I guess I'll clarify everything I said, since you apparently need it to stop coming to sudden conclusions just because I'm a Blue Jays fan and thus, according to you, automatically think that the Rangers were 1000000% in the wrong and were the only cause behind this.
I stated the Rangers were salty about the batflip (definitely not all of them, but you're crazy if you wouldn't think at least some of them wouldn't have some case of butthurt over it still), not that Bush specifically was, yet you acted like I said he was.
I said Bush hit him with the pitch. Not every HBP is intentional, and I did not say that he intentionally plunked him. If he did do it intentionally, then it would've been because he was instructed to by his manager, NOT because of him having any anger over the batflip.
I literally said he ALLEGEDLY threw it at him, that doesn't mean that I think he did it nor does it mean that he did. Then again, you're probably too braindead to know what "allegedly" even means. I guess I'll give you the definition then:
al·leg·ed·ly
əˈlejədlē/
adverb
adverb: allegedly
used to convey that something is claimed to be the case or have taken place, although there is no proof. |

Pssh, not even a baseball fan anymore, and even when I was I wasn't a fan of either of these teams but...
Death's explanation wasn't saying that Bush himself was salty. He was alluding to many of the guys on the Rangers still being salty about Bautista's bat flip last year. Kinda similar to the Bertuzzi-Moore incident back in 2004, where retribution was going to be doled out, no matter who doled it out. Bautista got angry, which to be honest I find rightfully so, though I can't say I approve of his late slight. Even with that late slide though, Odor certainly was the accelerator of this entire spat, turning a shoving match into a boxing one. Wouldn't doubt that he was throwing at Bautista's head either as another attempt to solidify the retribution, but obviously whether or not he was truly trying to do so will go with him to his grave. (Or at least his post-career memoirs.) |

Ppl r mad about that bat flip?
Come on its like Ovi scoring a goal and doing a fist pump :( |
|
|
"turning a shoving match into a boxing one."
Bautista was clinching his fist right before Odor started his swing. Bautista was about to turn it into a boxing fight, too. |
|

"he was throwing at Bautista's head either as another attempt to solidify the retribution"
You are taught now to throw the ball into the body or head of an opposing player who is trying to initiate a disruptive slide to get interference called, and thus get the double play. It had nothing to do with bad feelings - it's a tactic used by many. |

You can't deny he was winding up to punch Rougned. Because he was, and video proves that. |

My only question is, why is it wrong to stare at a home run?
I don't understand some unwritten rules in baseball. |

Showboating was never a part of the game up until the 90's. |
