Stroman indifferent to Odor's antics: 'If you have a problem, I'm right there'

Following an unusual start that saw him battle his command, Marcus Stroman was more concerned with his performance than with the antics of a long-time rival.

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor, who mocked Stroman's delayed leg kick and appeared to grab his crotch in his first at-bat Saturday, didn't attract immediate or ensuing attention from Stroman or the Toronto Blue Jays, despite social media picking up on the antics.

"But I could tell you I couldn't care less what that guy (Odor) is doing, man," Stroman said after the game, according to Sportsnet's Shi Davidi. "I couldn’t throw strikes today. What he’s doing in the box is zero concern to me. I know who I am. I’m right there. Zero scared of anybody when I'm in the box and I couldn't care less what anybody is doing, gesture-wise. Like I said, I'm right there. If you have a problem, I'm right there."

Odor's history with the Blue Jays is well-known. The eccentric infielder punched former Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista after a hard slide at second base in May 2016, sparking an infamous, bench-clearing brawl.

The third and final game of the series will go Sunday. Both teams won't have to wait long to play each other again, as the Rangers will visit Toronto in a three-game set starting April 27, in what will be the last series involving both clubs this season.
