wow, baseball players really, really need to develop a thicker skin. Good lord. How would baseball players survive in basketball or football where there's constant trash-talking. Here's an idea - if you don't want your opponent to celebrate, don't serve up a home run pitch. Grow up, wimps.

well said. buncha pussies.....

Why are baseball players soooo sensitive. Did it really hurt your feelings that someone flipped a bat? Or are you really just angry because he beat your pitcher? You can't claim to be defending sportsmanship while being a poor loser.

I'd be chewing that little shite out if I were the coach. What happens if that hits the top of the wall and bounces back in play and you're fricking 30 feet down the first base line with a bat still in your hands? Moron. I dont care that it was a grand slam. Get to just in front of the base so you don't pass the guy in first and when it clears the fence, then celebrate.

baseball players are such butthurt pussies. hey.........dont want a dude to do a bat flip?? dont float one in belt high. aside, dude threw the bat towards his dugout...didnt really taunt the opposing team

Bat flips, big pricks and fat chicks. That's how Larry Leo rolls.

Wow flip a bat toward your own dugout in your own field after hitting a grand slam to secure your teams spot in the CWS. Boo hoo go cry about it & call ya mama BC. That's like spiking the ball after a game winning TD.

throat slash in catchers face probably didnt help

pellietigersaint•94 months

looked like the catcher was asking for a response. and he got one. but but........he was mean and flipped his wittle bat

randomways•94 months

I was expecting something serious, like flipping the bat at a BC player's face or something. How the hell was that very minor bat flip in any way an insult to the other team?

Those are the same people that get upset over "your momma" jokes at the age of thirty. The very definition of low IQ.

The entire oversensitivity for simple actions in baseball cracks me up. Certainly it is permeating all sports these days but has long been and issue in baseball. You know what? You don't like the results, then change your performance to prevent them. Bunch of pansies looking for a safe place for their feelings if you ask me.

Geert Hammink_43•94 months

that isn't a simple action. it's extreme showboating that warrants a hard one in the ribs.

ApexTiger•94 months

I didn't see much problem with the bat flip. What is he supposed to do drop the bat gently like he is apologizing ? BC players were just butt hurt they were getting thrashed.

fisherbm1112•94 months

It wasn't just the flip. Catchers and pitchers get especially butthurt about pausing to watch them bomb, the bat flip was just the cherry on top.

Matisyeezy•94 months

Also didn't help that he carried the bat 2/3 of the way down the first base line before the flip. In what way is that necessary? Act like you've been there before. Even when you haven't.

ColeLSU•94 months

He definitely went a little over board on the dramatics and rubbing it in... Dont think the benches needed to clear. Just a fastball to the ribs next AB.

JustinT37•94 months

I don't think it has anything to do with the bat flip, it has to do with the Miami player admiring the ball all the way to 1st. Now I understand why Steve Gleason tweeted yesterday how unsportsmanlike the university of Miami is & always has been.

BC catcher should have pulled a McCann and stopped him from crossing the plate

denvertiger•94 months

Miami players should just watch this quick educational video if they're not sure how to act when they hit a big HR: LINK

Punk arse bitch

Next player should have got one to the head. Problem solved

atltiger6487•94 months

so if a basketball player dunks on you and celebrates a bit, you'd say it's ok to pump him in the face next time down the court? Or if a WR scores a TD against a CB, you think the CB should punch him the next play?

CaptainJ47•94 months

Throw at him next AB. And I am talking hammer him with one and throw at him a second time if needed

Moustache•94 months

Because he got excited over a HR? Damn. I love baseball, but people like you are the reason they call baseball players pussies.

TigerChief10•94 months

A lot of you fricks have obviously never played baseball. What he did would be equivalent to a DL dropping his pants and pissing on a QB he just sacked and hurt.

Wrong on so many levels. The football example is after the play but the bat flip occurred during play. The football example was a penalty but the bat flip was so outrageous it isn't even a penalty. The football example violates several criminal laws including assault, indecent exposure, and sexual harassment where as the bat flip doesn't break any laws and hurt no one. The football example involves and injured player and the bat flip only caused injuries that should be treated with vagisil. If you want a good example, this is the equivalent of a QB throwing a long bomb and watching it fall in to his WR hands deep in the endzone and then jumping up and down celebrating with a fist pump and a run down the field to high five the WR. See no one gets their panties in a wad.
