Skipped in Colorado due to elbow soreness MRI Monday came up clean and he says he feels fine so it seems like they're being cautious with him

 

[madj55]

8 games for Odor.

8 games for Odor.

Not so bad all things considered.

Carlos Gomez ultimate scrub
Im glad he didnt go to Mets

 

[jewbacca2]

Damn.

8 games is pretty light punishment for throwing a punch

 

[madj55]

Surprised he didn't get more. Should've been at least 10.

 

[checks grossman]

Thought it'd be 10-12 too. Nothing out on Bautista yet?

 

[dland24]

Damn.

I would have been shocked if it was more than 8 tbh.  There is precedent for punch throwing suspensions.  None of them exceeded 8 games.

Michael Barrett got 10 games.

Matt Bush getting any time? #NoJailJokes

Interesting.  Could have sworn it was 8.  My bad.

Article I just read said it was 10. Very possible he could have appealed and got it dropped to 8.

Man Bautista is soft. If he was mad he got hit why didn't he charge the mound? Is it because Bush was in jail? Soft *** punk.

 

[madj55]

I think there's an 100% chance Murphy makes an error tonight

Will probably get two hits as well.

His slide on Odor wasn't even that bad

There was one angle I saw intent behind that slide to take out Odor.

I mean, yeah there was definitely intent to go in hard.  But this slide is sooooooo Little League in comparison to 1000s of other slides we have seen over the years.
