MLB Regular Season Thread - Part 3

Ouch. The helmet and sunglasses falling is

 

[kingsholygrail]

Watching that gif... The helmet and glasses flying off... Odor's necklace spinning around his neck. Props to the camera guy that caught that perfect angle.

 

[JWK]

What.A.Punch

 

[DougieSmash]

Odor is cult hero after that punch.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Props to Joey for eating that punch. That would have dropped many men. Wish there was an angle of Donaldson going at Odor, you catch a glimpse of it and he's coming in with a flying punch

get hit.

something like that.

 

[kingsholygrail]

How many games do they give him for that hit? More for the technique or the usual for being involved in a fight?

 

[DougieSmash]

LOL at "Please suspend Odor for at least 50 games".

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

How many games do they give him for that hit? More for the technique or the usual for being involved in a fight?

Probably 5.

Batista will get the same or less.

Bush and Chavez will get small ones, and or fines.

 

[robert terwilliger]

hoping bautista gets something as well as he escalated the situation with a dirty slide.

 

[Epictetus]

It's crazy that a team could be so upset over a bat flip.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

I mean, if Machado can throw his bat at players and only get 5, then I don't see this getting any more than that.

 

[robert terwilliger]

i think odor gets in the neighborhood of 8-10.

bautista probably gets 5 or so.

bush gets 9-11

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

If Bautista didn't want to get clocked he shouldn't have tried to destroy Odor's legs with a cheap slide....that probably would have done way more damage than a punch to the face.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

It's crazy that a team could be so upset over a bat flip.

You would think choking a series would matter more, but apparently not.

 

[JWK]

Took 2 of 3 from the Cubs, and now swept the Mets.

The Rockies are going to represent the NL in the World Series.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Slide wasn't that bad. He just went hard and through the bad. He actually kept his legs and spikes down.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Slide wasn't that bad. He just went hard and through the bad. He actually kept his legs and spikes down.

Yeah agreed. It was a clearly illegal slide, but IMO it was more of a statement slide than a I want to blow you up and injure you slide, if he wanted to do damage to Odor he could have just as easily had his legs up to knee height spikes up.

He slide like a normal slide, but late and hard to make a statement.

 

[Halladay]

Phillies Rockies in the NLCS. Book it.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Hard slide for sure but like you said kept his spikes down.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Oh give me a break he didn't even have cleats up he slid in hard and it is against the rules now but that wasn't even close to injuring Odor

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

and now swept the Mets.

You can thank the umps for that.

 

[Beaker]

All this because of a bat flip?!

 

[Canada4Gold]

Gibby will get a game or 2 for coming back to the field. Bautista will get some, hopefully only 1 or 2. Chavez will get some for the obvious intentional HBP after the brawl. Odor should get the most of anyone. Who knows, maybe Bush gets something too but I doubt it. Hopefully Donaldson and Pillar don't get anything

 

[robert terwilliger]

i can't believe that people would be surprised that a team would be upset by bautista's bat flip.

i mean, i thought it was great but it's not difficult to see why the rangers may have been upset at being on that side of history.
