Ex-Yankee Star Batter Rougned Odor Gets Into Yet Another Fight as Temper Flairs in the Important Orioles-Rays Series for Playoffs Race

If one thing baseball is famous for other than its game, it is the brawls between passionate fans. This time, it happened in the match between the Orioles and the Rays. Interestingly, Rougned Odor was not cause the fight and he was just the part of the team.

Yesterday night at the Tropicana Field Stadium, Baltimore Orioles fought against the Tampa Bay Rays and lost by 8-2.

In the eighth inning of the match, because of a misunderstanding, words got exchanged between the pitcher, Pete Fairbanks, and Robinson Chirinos after a late timeout call.

Rougned Odor was present when the benches cleared

Chirinos called a time-out in the eighth inning, and the umpire called it late. This caused the pitcher Fairbanks to strike out Chirinos on the next pitch. Apparently, Fairbanks thought it was Chirinos to call the late timeout.

Words were then said by the pitcher, which caused Chirinos to move towards him, and eventually, the benches were also got cleared. Everybody was on the ground, and Chirinos, Brett Phillips, Anthony Santander, and shortstop, Jorge Mateo all had to be restrained.

The rift was solved quickly, and no one was ejected from the game as well.

Even if Odor was not the cause of this fight, this does not mean he was not present there. He was there when the benches were cleared and did fight for his team.

Is Pete Fairbanks wild as a player?

The series going on between the two teams is pretty important as it might grant a wild card in the playoffs. Ultimately, the Orioles lost the match in the wild card race.?

Fairbanks was later interviewed about what happened between him and Chirinos, and he said,?“He said some things to me, I said some things to him. I thought it was fairly normal exchange… I didn’t think (the benches) were going to empty that fast.”

Whereas Chirinos considers him wild, and said in another interview,??He?s wild. Everybody know in the league. I called a timeout. Andy called it late. It was not my fault. I guess he thought it was my fault I called that timeout late. We lost the game.?
