During Thursday’s game between the Rangers and Indians, Jason Kipnis had a lighthearted moment with Rougned Odor that led to laughs all around.
With one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, Odor reached first base on a fielding error by Mike Napoli. Then Jonathan Lucroy grounded into a double play with Odor out at second base. As Odor came to his feet after the play, Jason Kipnis hilariously started to slowly back away from Odor, obviously remembering what happened between the Rangers second baseman and Jose Bautista earlier this season.
Those in the Rangers’ dugout, particularly Adrian Beltre, had a ball with the moment, as they should have. That was great. Even the broadcasters got a chuckle out of it.
Thanks, Jason Kipnis, for doing your part to make baseball fun again.
