Twitter reacts to Pete Rose's comments on Donaldson, Bautista

Social media was quick to criticize Pete Rose for his thoughts on Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista leaving the AL Division Series opener.

The current analyst for Fox Sports 1 and former player and manager of the Cincinnati Reds drew the ire of many for the following comments, as reported by Yahoo! Sports:

"I just don't understand. I mean, does everybody know what we're playing for now? I mean, you get a tweak and you got to leave the game. You get a knee on the head and you've got a helmet on and you got to leave the game to go take a test that you pass. I mean, cause you're a little light-headed? I got light-headed how many times in my career. I still went out there and played. I guess it's just different from when I played to when they're playing today, Frank. I can't see you sliding into second there and leaving the game. I really can't. And this guy [Donaldson] is the MVP."

Here are a few reactions to Rose's comments via Twitter:
