Three Totally Logical Explanations for Rougned Odor’s Slip and Fall
In many ways, yesterday’s 3-1 win by the Toronto Blue Jays was reminiscent of their 6-3 victory over the Texas Rangers in Game 5 of the 2015 ALDS.
Jose Bautista hit a mammoth go-ahead home run, Elvis Andrus made not one, but two blunders on the field, and Rougned Odor misplayed a ball.
Not only that, Odor provided one of the game’s most memorable moments after he tripped and fell as he stumbled out of the batter’s box. He may have just tripped over his feet, or perhaps there were three simple explanations for Odor’s trip and fall? Did he have a little help from #19?

Whenever I see someone slip and fall, instinctively my mind goes to Mario Kart and figuring out whoever threw that damn banana. It turns out Jose Bautista got the outfield assist here.

Along the same Mario-themed lines, GIF-master Andy @_rallycap came up with this clever interpretation of Odor’s fall.
It was the Bat FLip All ALong

And lastly, courtesy of @KPRatherWalk, Odor may have tripped on something leftover from Game 5 of the ALDS.
I litterly can’t stand that smelly ordor…it was soooooooooooooooooo good to see him flat out on his ugly face….eat your heart out dirtbag
I saw this hilarious blunder in Toronto, at the game! Seeing Stinky, I mean Odor, throw a fit like a three year old was just the icing on the cake. The entire stadium just busted out laughing.
