The Rangers. Everything about how they handled themselves from losing game 5 of the ALDS to the final regular season game this year was absolutely pathetic.
Sam Dyson crying about Bautista disrespecting the game because Jose showed some emotion and flipped a bat. Then the Rangers waiting until Bautista's final at bat of the regular season against them to have ex-convict Matt Bush throw a 99 mph fastball at him like a moron. Bautista then slides hard into 2nd base, which, if I am not mistaken, has been happening for years and years and years, and is a baseball play. But because the Rangers are special, and they can't get over the fact that they lost game 5 because of their piss poor infield defence, they took offence to this and had their tough guy 2nd baseman Odor punch Bautista in the face, which seems pretty damn excessive. But of course they love that crap in Texas, who can forget Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura, obviously the idiocy runs deep in that organization. But they, along with along with many others, can keep spinning this narrative that Bautista is a bad guy, yet hasn't ever thrown a ball at an opposing player, punched another player in the face, hell the most egregious things he does is argue balls and strikes!
The Texas Rangers are choke artists who deserve nothing but losses and misery.
