You do realize they called interference on Bautista and gave them the double play. His slide violated almost every part of the rule as MLB said they were going to enforce this year. He slid late and was completely unable to stay on the bag as required.
I agree that Odor bears the brunt of the blame for the brawl but your take that Bautista is blameless is just flat out wrong, IMO.
thanks to the Main Board.

I do have to agree with the OP. Odor addled Bautista with that punch.
I watched it again from the home angle. The slide was later than it looks like from the first base angle. Pretty sure Bautista didn't hit the ground until he was on the base, so I will be like a politician and change my stance.
First person in catpaw history to admit they were wrong, you sir are a pioneer.
Not going to lie, it really hurt me to do it. I'm still feeling a bit sick about it. [laughing]
Yeah, I've seen your baseball posts before and always seemed very intelligent about the game. That was way late.
Was about to say something, but trublucatfan covered it for me right after your post. No matter how neutral of a fan you are. It was deliberate.
Honestly, what the hell is up with that username? Makes no sense at all.
That's it for games between the two teams this season unless they meet up again in the playoffs.
wow, you got a lotta hate going on...this guy slap your mother or something?
Hate? Or pointing out the obvious? I don't see how anyone could ever consider this as hate what a dbag you are frl. Someone said he didn't get knocked out, burning you look at the gif in this thread, he was clearly knocked out. He was dazed. Idc bout either team or either player I'm a Reds fan so I barely even care about baseball anymore like I once did. I don't see how I'm hating by saying he got knocked out. Bautista also said afterwards it'd take a bigger man to knock him to the ground. its funny because he was wearing a helmet and that punch connected in the only spot that could've done damage, and had beltre not grabbed him from behind he would've fallen over. Also he said it would take a bigger man to knock him down, that was only one punch. Had it not been broken up Bautista would've been hospitalized and deservedly so for that dirty late slide that the second baseman was expecting. A slide like that can cause a serious injury like what we saw in the playoffs last season. I don't see how it's considered hate at all. Someone tries to say he didn't get knocked out. I was just pointing out the obvious that he did in fact get ko'd. Hating? No not at all. But did I like that dirty slide that could've harmed someone's career and ultimately that person's ability to provide for his family? No there's no room for that in the game.
It was a dirty play by Bautista, and if you didn't notice Bautista was wearing a helmet, odor wasn't wearing a helmet and had a glove on one hand so he was basically fighting someone, that was wearing a helmet that's supposed to protect a baseball from hitting you in the head let alone a fist, with one hand tied behind his back. As soon as Bautista lifted a hand to swing at Odor he got rocked before he could even begin to swing at him. I respect the reason for Odor doing it, as a man you have to defend yourself, and I definitely give the man props for knocking someone out wearing a helmet. That takes professional boxing like precision to knock someone out like that, there's zero room for error because of the person moving and wearing a helmet. It was very impressive. And it was cold blooded to start and end the fight like that with one punch and obviously, Bautista got mixed up with the wrong one. Shouldn't have tried Odor like that. Do I hate Bautista though? Nothing I've said suggests that. Barely know a damn thing about the guy besides the fact people call him Joey Bats.

If this is directed towards me then i truly hope you noticed I didn't quote your post when posting that soooo what's your point? I in no way wanted or expected you to read it. Idk why you'd post something so irrelevant to begin with. I guess youre one of those 'hey look at me, I'm here, hey guys notice me?' kind of people that just want some sort of attention? I don't know and quite frankly it's not for me to figure out.
I'm absolutely weak at this guy who just peppers in insults here and there for no reason whatsoever towards someone who is likely more educated than he. Tool.
