Damn he might get suspended

Rendon is healthy this year. He’s looking for a suspension to lessen the load of a 162 game grind.

This is the only time I’m glad he missed. Glad he confronted him. It’s going to be an interesting series that’s for sure

Rendon was the first one to go out try to fight someone when the benches cleared in Seattle. Fans need to respect the players cause when these athletes do or say something it’s always their fault. Love Rendon for standing up for himself and his team #GoHaols
