Also, just recalled and haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but Bush was the pitcher who drilled Bautista back in May to set up the Odor thing.
Whatever your thoughts are on the baseball code is one thing, but Gibby called it gutless to plunk him at the last at bat of the 7 games between them this year, it's usually gotten out of the way early. And, those types of retributions are delivered by vets, not a rookie who was still in jail this time last year. Banister said he didn't ask him to hit him, and I may believe him, this was Bush trying to go cowboy to his new teammates and try and cement a role on the team after his jail term was over.
Something about karma.
