Russell Martin challenges Maldonado to a fight

[TURBO]

This is almost too ridiculous to post, but it's out there, so here it is.

The Pirates have been watching the Cardinals for so long, they have decided to use them as a role model for classiness...

This should lighten Russell's wallet by a few thousand dollars. Does anyone else think this is weak on his part? Challenge a guy to a fight through the media, knowing that Maldonado can't/won't accept. Cole isn't the #1 wuss on the Pirates in my book. Russell Martin has just won that title.

Maybe Maldy can substitute any Brewer catcher past or present. Wasn't Kendall big into MMA during the offseason as training?

I read it as more tongue-in-cheek after his tough words on Sunday. Trying to lighten the mood with a little humor.

Russell Martin has always appeared to be one of the dumbest players in the league. This is based on my extensive research into the field of baseball player physiognomy. (Mike Trout, of course, has firmly established himself as the reigning champion)

I don't know if this bout could live up to the legendary Lucroy vs. Suitcase battle of 2012.

Didn't he refuse to play for team Canada in the WBC because they wouldn't let him play SS?
