Nobody calls him that. We call him the Mountain. What a loser

Actually our try-hard announcer Kevin Brown started it, I believe.

We really don't call him King Felix anyway, we call him Mount Bautista. That was a very weird and aggressive approach by the dude for absolutely no reason.  

Evidently the Orioles Social Media team called him that in a tweet once during the series against the Mariners and again in a graphic when he won reliever of the month.

That's it.

Mountain is a better nickname anyway.

They didn't sound all that upset and I agree that it's way too soon to reuse that nickname.

I’m changing my handle to Can of Corn.

I love Felix's response, lol, he's just like okay, yeah, thumbs up, please don't bother me more and I am not very interested in trying to understand 100% of what you've said.

Who is calling him that? I thought he was being called The Mountain.

Nick names dont belong to anyone.  I can not understand how they can be upset with using "king".  Someone should find that guys car and put sugar in his gas tank.   LOL

Somewhere LeBron James is indignant, as is Charles III.

“Knock that shit off” doesn’t sound upset?

You've never said that in a joking manner before?

But hey, if he is actually upset, well that's just funny...and a bit sad.

Certainly not something to get upset in return about.

I thought he sounded genuinely upset.  Which is sad, I agree.  The whole exchange was incredibly awkward.
