Rougned Odor Smacks Walk-Off, Gets Smacked
Rougned Odor can’t even hit a walk-off without getting in a scrap.

Blue Jays Call Rangers "Gutless" And "Cowardly" After Excellent Brawl
I believe with my whole heart that the seventh inning of last year’s ALDS Game 5—the non-interference throw back to the pitcher, the baby-soaking beer rain, Elvis Andrus’s meltdown, and ohmygod that bat flip—is the most entertaining inning of baseball ever played. That seven months later it is still...
