Hopefully my Roogie Odor memorabilia has gained value and hasn't taken a "hit" today

What up fellas. Went to Friday's game and today's game and man was it a dandy. It's amazing the amount of defending Bautista is getting from Jays fans on social media. My GF is a Torontonian and a die hard Jays fan so she was with me so it's kinda weird how everything transpired as I was like America Fuck Yeah like from Team America lol.

I am glad I wasn't at this game, I would have had a hard time staying off the field

It was quite honestly surreal at first as a brawl was something I never expected. But even from not so close seats I had it was pretty evident How Bautista handled the HBP and illegal slide that was right in front of everyone that escalated things. He takes everything with grace and a brawl doesn't happen.

I was wondering the same thing about myself if I were at the game.

Been a long time since there has been a good baseball brawl, this one was a good one and a necessary one IMO

Exactly. That's the only self defense he has in that situation. Torii can stfu.

I don't know how guys are really still defending Bautista, it was all on him and it was dirty as hell, period. Whats the defender supposed to do, let the guy blow up his knee. This is ridiculous, he plays clean baseball and he gives his team a better chance to tie/win the game and another out to play with. Smoak was gonna be safe by 5 ft

Exactly. A legal slide would've kept Smoak safe. He was trying to seriously injure Odor.

At this point I am dying and praying for the Rangers and Jays meeting up again in the post season. I think that baseball and drama would be freaking epic.

Nobody cares what Torii thinks. He probably still lets his kids make his big life decisions for him.

1) I'm glad Odor didn't break his hand (or hope that's true at least)
2) Any suspension means we get to see Profar I'd assume
3) I didn't realize how far Bautista had slid beyond the bag. He was 8 feet passed it. That is bullshit.

No chance the Jays make the playoffs

Post of the year!

The BJ's are really playing up the idea that Bush intentionally threw at Slutista as payback for the bat flip. What a bunch of shitheads.

Not me. We got our point across. I don't want anyone getting hurt or suspended during a hopefully deep postseason run.
