50 games for Mondesi

Per Deadspin:

Correction: This post originally stated that Raúl Mondesí Jr. tested positive for PEDs. It was actual Raúl A. Mondesí that tested positive; Raúl Mondesí Jr. is his brother, who was formerly in the Milwaukee Brewers system. Both are sons of former major leaguer Raúl Mondesí.

how many people named Raul Mondesi can there be?

probably not as many as there are George Foremans.....

So.Many.Great.Things.About.This.

Matt Bush in his first weekend up in the bigs after his checkered history endears himself to his teammates.

Joey Bats paying it back with the code-hard slide.

Odor defending himself after the hard slide.

All of it is fantastic.

The only thing that was Bush about it was Texas waiting until the last regular season game between the teams to seek payback.  The fans deserved a weekend or two of this beginning on May 2.

When these 2 duked it out in last year's playoffs Bush was in prison.

This is just so great.

and Odor did it ostensibly one handed, he still had his glove on while Bautista had both hands free....

Don't overlook the fact that it did not knock Joey Bats out, or even knock him down...that's a pretty good punch to take.

All the neighborhood kids mimicked his batting stance back in the day.
