2016 MLB Regular-Season Thread

I don't know about jericho's post, but Bautista clearly was not out on his feet.

 

Socked him in the jaw.

 

If you're calling that a sucker punch, we have very different definitions of sucker punch.

 

We're going to get distracted by the punch, but Bautista should have been tossed for that slide. Not excusing Odor but that slide was late.

 

Tossed for the slide? That slide was fine.

 

Should Bush have been tossed for intemtionally putting a fastball in his ribs?

I have no problem with Bush or Bautista, I have a problem with the umps issuing a warning. If you thought it was intentional toss him, if not, there is no need for a warning.

As far as Bautista being out on his feet, that's laughable.

I also don't really think it's a sucker punch but Odor wanted nothing to do with a real fight.

 

Somewhere, Nolan Ryan is nodding his head in approval.

 

How is that a sucker punch? Bautista was squared off at Odor.

 

Right, you expect punches to be thrown in baseball. Good one.

 

The kind of punch you live for, flush to the jaw.

 

It's called baseball. Have you heard of it?

 

It's not a sucker punch when two people ar face to face. He also gave Bautista two hand shove in which Bautista came back at him. Bautista knew something was coming.
