Bautista is gonna be perceived as the victim for getting his clock cleaned and he will likely get the lesser suspension for not throwing a punch.

Next time you see the "confrontation" I would ask you watch for Butt-heads left hand. It comes under Odor's arms and is in a clinched fist, as in "to strike."

So MLB is going to penalize Roughed for being quicker?

I thought, and believe said, from early in the season, "our BP was going to be in-flux and yo-yoing pitchers up and down."

Honestly don't think Willy is as bad as he's looked. But he certainly "earned" his demotion at the same time.
He wasn't this bad last year but Seattle did not mind parting with him.

Good. No sense in backing down at this point.

Not sure how I feel about this line up. I like Prince on the bench but got bad vibes with EA back in the 2 hole although he is been hot of late.

It's something I thought might happen to break up some of the lefties at the top of the order

A day after the punch heard 'round the baseball world, Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor said he has no regrets and was simply looking out for himself.

"I can tell when someone is coming hard to second base, so I was just trying to protect myself," Odor said Monday of his decking Toronto Blue Jays sluggerJose Bautista on Sunday in the Rangers' 7-6 win.

Suspensions loom after Rangers-Blue Jays brawl ... but how stiff?
MLB plans to hand down multiple suspensions for the wild, bench-clearing free-for-all on Sunday in Texas. How tough will those bans be?

When asked if he regretted anything that happened, he said, "No."

Although Major League Baseball has yet to levy any fines or suspensions in the wake of Sunday's testy affair between the Rangers and Jays, Odor said he expects some form of punishment.

"I know I'm going to be suspended for a couple of games," Odor said.

I like this lineup a lot actually.

My concern, more than anything else is, how much energy did the team leave in Arlington? Frankly, it would be somewhat "understandable" if the team came out tonight a little, so we say, "off-key."

Toronto is being crushed 11-0 in the fifth by Tampa.

Apparently Gibbons already tossed again tonight.

My dad has a saying. You run into an asshole one day, you met an asshole. You run into 5 assholes in 5 days, you're the asshole.
