Rougned Odor got called for a trash pitch clock violation thanks to garbage retrieval

Should this REALLY have been called?

Buckle up for this one, baseball fans.

Because this might be the weirdest pitch clock violation you’ll see in 2023.

Rougned Odor was up to bat with Jeff Hoffman on the mound for the Philadelphia Phillies in extra innings on Sunday. The San Diego Padres hitter took strike one. Then? Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa went to grab some garbage that had fallen on the field. Hoffman was off the mound but quickly got back as the pitch clock was ticking down.

No one called time … but Odor thought the garbage retrieval may have counted as a time out? But nope, he wasn’t ready when he was supposed to be and he got a strike called on him:

Should that have been called?

Baltimore’s Rougned Odor used a swim move to somehow avoid a tag and we can’t stop watching it

How in the world did Rougned Odor avoid this tag?!

Baseball can be a very beautiful game.

If you need any more proof of that then you need to see the slide that Baltimore Orioles second baseman Rougned Odor did Tuesday night to avoid a tag that should have been a very easy out for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Odor hit what looked like would be a single in the bottom of the eighth inning. But he decided to go for two and for a while that looked like a very bad idea. Even the announcer thought Odor would be out by 30 feet.

But Odor did not get out. Instead, he pulled off one of the greatest slides you’ll ever see to avoid the tag and be safe at second.

LOOK AT THIS:

I love how shocked the announcer was by that move because I felt the same way. And then at the end Odor was able to hang on to the bag to avoid being tagged out, which would have been a huge bummer after pulling off that move (the ump’s feet might have helped, but whatever).

Twitter was in awe.

Rougned Odor’s bat flip completely backfired thanks to Will Benson’s spectacular catch

The WORST feeling for a hitter.

Here at For The Win, we love a good bat flip. Honestly, there needs to be more bat flips in baseball. But if a player does decide to flip his bat, he better be sure he hit a home run (or just be Zack Greinke).

Otherwise, that player runs the risk of experiencing Rougned Odor’s walk of shame back to the dugout.

During Tuesday’s game between the Orioles and Guardians, Odor seemed certain that he tied the game on a fifth-inning solo shot to center. Off the bat it looked great. So, Odor flipped his bat, casually adjusted his helmet and started his home run trot.

Guardians center fielder Will Benson just had a different idea for Odor’s fly ball.

Benson made a nice read on the ball and caught it on a leaping effort against the wall. I appreciate how the Guardians broadcast showed an isolated view of Odor’s reaction off the bat because he really thought he had a home run.

That’s just the worst feeling for a hitter (and the best for a fielder).

Rougned Odor nunca logrará que olvidemos su puñetazo a Jose Bautista.

Seis años y dos equipos después, esa enorme pelea y el icónico puñetazo seguirán siendo uno de los momentos más memorables de Odor en el campo de beisbol. El domingo, cuando los Boston Red Sox visitaron a los Baltimore Orioles, un lanzamiento en la cuarta entrada le pegó a Odor quien recibió base por golpe y ocupó su lugar en primera base.

Mientras Odor llegaba a segunda por un sencillo, Christian Arroyo, que traía puesto un micrófono, fue a checar si el jugador de cuadro estaba bien después del golpe, y fue lo más chistoso. Además de preguntarle a Odor si necesitaba algo (como un poco de hielo), Arroyo le rogó a su oponente que no lo golpeara, pues él no había tenido nada que ver con lanzamiento que lo había golpeado.

Traducción: El micrófono de Christian Arroyo captó cuando checa si Rougned Odor está bien después de ser golpeado por un lanzamiento.
“Yo no te golpeĂ©. Lo prometo. Por favor no me pegues”.

 

¡Qué amable por parte de Arroyo checar si su oponente estaba bien! ¡Y qué buena frase! El puñetazo a la cara que Odor le propinó a Bautista nunca será olvidado, ni siquiera años después.

A mic’d up Christian Arroyo begged Rougned Odor not to punch him after being hit by pitch

“I didn’t hit you. I promise. Don’t hit me please.”

Rougned Odor will never outlive the Jose Bautista punch.

Six years and two teams later, the huge brawl and iconic punch remain one of Odor’s most memorable moments on the baseball field. On Sunday, with the Boston Red Sox visiting the Baltimore Orioles, Odor was hit by a pitch during the fourth inning and took his place on the base paths.

As Odor got to second on a single, a mic’d up Christian Arroyo hilariously checked in on the roughed up infielder. Among asking Odor if he needed anything — like ice — Arroyo begged his opponent not to deck him, as he had nothing to do with the hit by pitch.

How nice of Arroyo to check in with his opponent! And what a quip too! Odor’s punch to the face of Bautista will never be forgotten, even years later.
