I'm going to bow out of this conversation because there's such a rampant lack of objectivity and rationality.

But go watch that video again and then tell me you honestly believe Bautista was going to punch Odor. He wasn't. He had an open hand until the instant before he got hit.

You seem to think you know what everyone is thinking. That would be incorrect. Unless, of course, MLB has confirmed it.

Bautista approached an angry man. That is a bad idea. He was not issuing bro-hugs.

FWIW, fighters have open hands up until the moment they punch. It's easier to defend oneself with an open hand.

So I'm watching a MMA show, they know a little something 'bout fighting, and they said "Oh, yeah, Bautista was definitely about to throw a punch. Odor just beat him to it."

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT! And Odor protected himself. Like a man! Like Cobb or Joe Tinker or any number of players from the past. Bautista is a ***** who got beaten to the punch!!!!

I expect known pugilism expert dahs to dispute this but I'll take Daniel Cormier's word for it.

sjpoker doesn't recognize the difference between baseball-related activities - things like ditching your bat before you run the bases, pitching, and sliding - and non-baseball-related activities - like punching somebody in the face.

"Ohhh! Baseball players shouldn't fight! They should play nice!"

"I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."
- Ty Cobb

As stated in a Sporting News article from August 1, 1994:
John McGraw waits at third base for a hell-bent baserunner named Tommy Tucker who plays for the Boston Beaneaters. Tucker slides hard, and McGraw, who's been feuding with Tucker (McGraw feuds with everyone), kicks Tucker in the head as he lays on the tag. Tucker jumps to his feet and the two start punching. The crowd rises to egg on the pair, eating up the action. Midway through the fight, someone notices that the right-field stands are on fire. But McGraw and Tucker keep fighting as the fire spreads through Boston's old South End Grounds and destroys the grandstand behind home plate.

So an MMA dude says something it's gospel, MLB says something and they don't know ****.



Sounds legit.

When exactly was this "old time baseball" where punching out the other team was considered acceptable? Nobody old enough to remember baseball that looked like that knows how to use the internet.

Again, something from your lifetime...

I don't remember anyone thinking any of that was ok.

Its a part of the game. I didn't come up with it. Its just there.

Plus, if a man is assaulted like Odor, he has a right to protect himself. He did. #Hero

He wasn't assaulted. He was playing baseball against a player making a baseball play.

Odor was fielding his position and that BASTARD came in low trying to take out his knees! Odor just took it back to the streets!!!! They kidnap mothafuckas in Venezuela!!!

"came in low trying to take out his knees."

Have you ever played baseball? I bet at least one of my coaches pretty much verbatim explained that as the way to break up a double play.

Not to mention....wouldn't trying to take out his knees be "OLD TIME BASEBALL"???????


CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS DOUCHENOZZLE.

I assume he's trolling at this point. If not, he has miraculously passed BL on the list of forum contributors by baseball credibility...

and yes, that was a text book take out slide...if you want to see a dirty slide:

Yeah, I think he's about 13.

Anytime you post anything involving an MMA fighter's opinion you should take your own advice.

MMA.

Lol.

Tard

Unless it's about taking the spike or beating your lady of course.
