BLUE JAYS/RANGERS BRAWL

If you missed it, here is the brawl from last night’s Blue Jays/Rangers game. In a nut shell, Jose Bautista was hit by a pitch (seemed intentional). Then running from 1st to 2nd Bautista slid hard into 2nd baseman Rougned Odor trying to disrupted a double play ball. Sliding into a player is illegal this year in the MLB. Odor took offence and when Bautista got up the 2nd baseman shoved Bautista. The two players tied up but not before Rougned was able to get a solid punch square to Bautista’s jaw. Of course the benches cleared after that with several other players getting tangled up during the brawl. Here’s the video with a nice slo-mo close-up of the punch!
