Was the bat flip the moment that saved baseball?

I can't get over this incredible moment. You had to see it live. It's one of those where were you moments like JFK or the Challenger.

Yeah and now it's filled with douches. Congrats to Bautista but the bat flip shite needs to stop. People on ESPN are making this bullshite bigger than the fact that Bautista dropped a bomb to win the game. It'd be one thing if it was to win the series in the 9th. But it was the 7th inning. The rangers had two more at bats. Not the right time or place to pull that shite.

Also, if he doesn't do the bat flip it's still a bomb. That bullshite adds nothing to the game and in my opinion, takes a little bit of something away from it. Lol at Dallas Braden saying that this is a new era of baseball with the bat flipping. Wasn't this the same guy who cried like a fricking bitch when A-Rod, one of the greatest ever, walked on "his" mound? frick that dude. One great outing and he's the authority on what unwritten rules should be upheld. I bet if Bautista did that to him we'd see him throw his glove on the ground and huff and puff like the cry baby he is.

All for a little bat flip, but Joey showed Dyson up WAY too much. No class whatsoever.

I am a Rangers fan though and if I had no rooting interest in this I would probably have loved it, but it's still a dick move by someone who is supposedly a pro.

I love shite like this. Conflict, confrontation, shite talking, etc. Makes it more entertaining.


I can't deny that it makes things a whole lot more interesting. Should be fun the first time they place next season.

I have no rooting interest and am a big fan of emotion being in the game. However, that bat flip came off extremely douchey. Huge HR, but not necessary to stop, state, and throw the bat. Do a Puig style flip and I'm all for it.

Id agree if it was any other 7th inning but this one.

A lot of people are discussing this without seeing it as it happened. You had to see the entire 7th inning. There was more emotion packed into the park that I've maybe ever seen. It was an explosion of relief and excitement when Bautista connected. He was saying that's how you take care of this shite.

Baseball needs villains and shite talkers. I'm a Rangers fan and I can admit it's funny and kind of awesome, and extremely douchey

Also this, the Jays felt like they were getting jobbed. Crazy game

Probably the most douchebag moment in baseball history. It's the goddamned ALDS, you haven't won shite yet, focus on the next round in which I hope the Royals rip their asses apart solely because I'm going to see that douchecanoe flip his bat 500 times in the next week.

How in the hell would they think they were getting jobbed? If you watch the replay, as I'm sure literally everybody in the entire stadium did, you could see that Choo didn't impede the throw, he didn't step out of the box, the ball was live.

frick Dyson.

He blabbed about the move being classless after the game while he walked over to home plate not once but TWICE in the 7th inning and talks shite to an opposing player and slaps another one on the arse. Pitchers have no business being around home plate.

Yea i mean the jays were on the verge of going home because their catcher hit the batter on a throw back to the mound. It was the 7th but that shot ended the game. Possibly the craziest inning of baseball ive ever seen.

He just needs to keep his mouth shut when the Rangers drill him next year.
