46 y/o Nolan Ryan punching a 25 y/o who tried to fight him during a game. It's an all time baseball moment

You're an honorary europoor. It's worse than the real thing, euros are born into their miserable existence but you chose it.
Baseball is one of the most American things along with illegal firearms, fake tits, and air conditioning.

Only 2/4 of those are good things.
American Football is by far the most superior sport ever invented by Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry.

Football shares a name with a certain Euro sport and so is by default emasculating

The other football is far more boring, but dear god nearly any sport beats out baseball. I can't think of a less athletic or stimulating sport.

As someone who used to occasionally brawl in my wild youth I can confirm it's the short stocky kings you need to watch out for way more than the tall dudes.
Short dudes either become the funny sidekick who can talk their way out of a fight or they learn to fight and are forged by it.
Plus a shorter dude has a lot more advantages in a fight than a 6'5 twig.

Smaller target too
With short guys its best to try to close the distance and pin them 
Punching down is surprisingly difficult, not to mention they can land easy hits on your abdomen.

If you get the sweet spot it doesn't require a lot of force.

Especially if you've never been really hit before. It's jarring.

I've taken hooks straight to my chin and barely even flinched while a graze on my temple left me dizzy. It really depends on how you get hit, not so much the force.

Yeah maybe he did catch his temple there, thought it was just a graze across the jaw at first

Sort of, I suppose. It's the puncher's chance. No matter how skilled you are or how tough you are, anybody can go down to the puncher's chance. The 4 move check still requires some strategy. No strategy in the puncher's chance.

so what's the defence to it to land a proper counter jab? guard or slip?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Keep a guard up to protect your jaw and let the punch fizzle on your shoulder. Counter can be a well placed uppercut while the opponent is open.

btw an open handed slap gets you more humiliation points compared to a punch. a genuine rarity these days

Unironically and it's also far more difficult to anticipate than a punch. If you get your technique down, it's lightning quick. I've seen people get knocked out cold from well placed slaps.

Probably that it looked like he tried to tag his head but he didn't do anything wrong, it was a close play and he was just doing what he could to get the out.

That's more or less what I was thinking after watching again, but yeah wtf is he supposed to do? Seems like a normal play to me.

Because leafs used to be famously violent and treated violence as part of our culture. Both national sports are 2 of the most consistently aggressive sports, hockey and lacrosse, and pre-cucking our military was highly skilled and known for committing many war crimes.

Kind of. The entire AL Central is awful this year. The Twins are the only team in the division with a record over .500, and they're 58-54. For reference, the Mariners, who are third in the AL West, are 59-52, and the Yankees, who are fourth in the AL East, are 58-53.
But since someone has to win the division, the 54-57 Guardians (54-56 prior to this game) are still in contention. Mathematically, so are the 44-68 (43-68 prior to this game) White Sox, but that's obviously a lot less likely. So both teams are still playing to win, despite being fricking terrible.
But none of that is really the point. Fights like this are barely a thing in baseball. Most bench-clearing brawls are actually bench-clearing "hold me back, bro"s. Two players squaring up and trying to fight for real happens maybe once a season across the entirety of Major League Baseball.
Plus, the players involved make the whole thing much funnier. Tim Anderson was a great player the past three seasons, but suffered a season-ending injury last August, and has been absolutely terrible this season. José Ramírez, on the other hand, is currently the undisputed best offensive third baseman in MLB. He's on pace to win his fifth Silver Slugger this year. So Anderson picking a fight with Ramírez just to get immediately dropped is top tier comedy.

Jose definitely started that fight. Said tim tagged him too hard or some shit, that he's always disrespecting the game. Tim dropping his glove was wild though.
