First post. Watch it.... he doesn't clench his fist until after contact..... shoving a person during a bench clear in baseball doesn't constituents a fist fight



Beltre grabbed him. Good on him to prevent bautista from contributing more nonsense into the mess.

this all started when odor lost control. and started a fight.

the only way i could see it be labeled as a sucker punch is that you arent anticipating getting punched while playing baseball
the counter is that you dont do shit like slide hard into second and then get in someones face and not expect the worst.
he slid, got up, both got in each others face. odor pushed him and bautista did not back away. he went forward, grabbed odors jersey and both had clinched fists. its a fight.

Do you even know what planet you're on right now?

someone needs to make a Views from the 6 of bautista with stars going around his head

Are you watching the same video? Watch post 1, bautista doesn't clench his fist until after contact which is probably a reaction from being hit in the face

he squared up after the push, he made the decision to continue pushing forward instead of backing off.
either have self-control or dont, but expect to get clocked if you continue pushing an already pissed off person.
its like none of you have ever had physical conflict before

One wouldn't expect it in professional sports because of the hefty consequences associated with it

Bautista even said it caught him by surprise

take out the bad blood. the bat flip from last season and what do u have. odor starting a fight.

you dont expect it, but thats not going to protect you.
theres a lot of players that have the reputation of talking shit and what not, thinking that the "rules" are going to protect them.
