The Umpire’s warning to Tre Morgan when he hit his HR

Was because there is apparently a rule that you can’t flip the bat above your head. 
Idk who’s rule this is… SEC or NCAA but this is getting ridiculous.
This information comes from Jay on Mahtook’s podcast. He said the reason he called timeout was to make sure Dylan didn’t do it in the very next AB.

Must be another one of those rules “unanimously voted for” by the coaches.

Seems like a rule they would know about. So, you can throw it sidearm to right field as long as it don't get over your head..

Was that a bat flip even

If I remember correctly it didn’t go over his head. He kinda pushed it towards our dugout.

I think the way the umpire handled the situation was appropriate. He did not make a big scene, just talked to him like an adult.

I’m sort of a baseball purist when it comes to a lot of things about the game, but FFS. What are we trying to accomplish with these rules?

I say we start the bat roll this weekend.

The Rant melted like a bunch of queens over the ump talking to Tre. The ump handled it well.. like I said right after it happened. Good to see people come around.

Hell, I never even considered the bat flip. That seems to be the norm these days. I figured Trey said something he didn’t like after that shite strike call he made a pitch or two before the HR.

Brandon Larson hit 40 home runs 1997. Not once did he flip his bat above his waist. I guess he didn’t have any fun since all the young kids tell me flipping a bat is the only way to have fun playing baseball.
For the record, I’ve already said that I don’t think Tre’s actions were that bad. He wasn’t directing anything to the other team, he was looking at his team mates. I’m cool with that.

Seems like a good rule for health reasons. There has to be a limit to how high or eventually some emotional player would toss it and injure someone.

That may have been what he told Morgan, but here’s what I think happened: The ump, like all umps, didn’t like Morgan flipping the bat on ball four that was called a strike. He was willing to overlook it though. He probably also noticed the exuberant Morgan bat flipping on ball 4s and thought it was a little over the top and may have even checked the rules on it.
After Morgan hit the home run he makes an absolute point to stomp on home after raising his leg fairly high. I believe he was so emphatic in an attempt to show up the ump a little from the bad call on ball 4.
The ump then chose to retaliate about the only way he could, via the rules, with a warning about some innocuous rule he read.

What is getting ridiculous is LSU fans. The rule is a great one, designed to keep people from getting hurt. If you watch Tre’s bat flip it was dangerous. LSU players were coming out of the dugout, and the bat appeared to come close to them.

I'm an old head when it comes to baseball, but these celebration rules are ridiculous. Let these kids have fun! They are living their dream, playing on the biggest stage most of them will ever play on.
