Social media goes wild after Odor's punch
Rougned Odor sent a message to Jose Bautista and the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday and he let his fists do the talking.
After the Texas Rangers second baseman cleaned the clock of the Blue Jays outfielder with a straight right hand, social media went crazy with reactions, which included some of the following creative tidbits.

After the melee, Odor's Wikipedia page also blew up with incredible edits such as changing his name to Holly Holm - in honor of his knockout of Ronda Rousey - and his stats to "1-0 career by KO."
The fight between Odor and Bautista, which escalated into a benches-clearing brawl, presumably stemmed from several months of frustration after last season's ALDS in which Bautista's epic bat flip rocked all of baseball.
