Does the Jose Bautista bat flip bother you?

I saw the Braves didn't appreciate it last night and was wondering the MSBs thoughts on the matter.

It doesn't really bother me. I think it is silly to do the exaggerated bat flip on a homer when your team is down 4 runs, but it doesn't upset me.

I would like to see a pitcher toss his glove and peacock around the infield after striking Joey Bats out, though.

Freddie Freeman is always in the mix. I remember when Carlos Gomez retarded arse cranked one at Turner, Freeman was screaming at him. McCann didnt let him touch the plate either

It depends on the situation.

Watching Pujols admire a homerun when his team was down 9-1 made me hate him just a little more than I already did, but in a big situation, go for it.

Do you flip your bat when you see him do it?

If he did it every day it would be one thing but late in a meaningful game like that, I thought it was great.

Gomez is a douche. Shitty players should never flip a bat.

I think it's dumb. Especially for a guy who probably hits 30+ a year.

Act like you've been there before

I was referring to the one with his team losing 8-3 to the Braves in the middle of May.

Not at all. I always laugh at baseball fans who think someone deserves retribution for something like that, especially a shot in the face that could have been a Kermit Washington/Rudy T situation.

I wonder if those people feel the same about showboating in football and basketball. I bet they don't give two shits about it in those sports.

He's lucky Odor didn't land the Left Hand of Doom. Might have been a career ender.

and this.

So what is an appropriate defensive equivalent to the bat flip?

It doesn't upset me whatsoever, however, when Joey Bats did it last night when they were still down like 4 runs, it is pretty dumb.

I don't give a crap about a player flipping a bat. I yell at the TV and call him all sorts of names to make fun of him for being a douche, but otherwise I don't care one way or the other.

You have to take last night into context. The Braves were pissed about 8 hit batsmen over the course of 2.5 games in addition to the Jays pussies complaining and yelling at Dansby for dropping the line drive and turning two, and the other pussy for crying about getting quick pitched.

If McCann was in the mix, then I would say just get over yourself b/c he has a history of being the written rules of baseball Sergeant at Arms, but last night was different.
