I’ve just never understood what the big deal about these bat flips is. It’s one thing if it hits, or almost hits another player. But, something like this….just shut the fuck up.

I know. Unwritten rules. I was raised by a baseball traditionalist. I respect a lot of things, but I’ve never gotten something like this.

right, don't really give a shit about it. Even some traditionalists are starting to change their opinion. Braves' Will Smith always gets his vagina in a twist when someone pumps a homer off of him. Chip Caray finally said that "Well, Will if you don't want people celebrating like that throw better pitches"

Only time I have an issue with admiring homers and bat flips is if your team is getting their ass kicked. Like when Jose Bautista hit that homer against the Braves in 2017 when his team was still down 8-4 late, and it was just after Aaron Loup broke Freddie Freeman's wrist earlier in the game, that was an all about me, I don't give a shit about the team move. Of course, he was briefly a Brave the next season and produced a negative WAR.

It’s that simple. The pitchers have benefited from being able to stew in their own frustration without having it rubbed in for over a century.

But, it’s time to stop being a whiny little girl. A little bat flip isn’t a big deal.

How its going..

The irony!

For the record, I'm not a fan of bat flips. Hit the dinger, take your trip around the bases, then celebrate with your teammates in the dugout.

The opposing pitcher is always a douchebag that needs to be shown up. Watch that shit until it lands, ride the bat around the bases like a toy pony and blow the pitcher kisses the whole way around.

It seems like this bat fliip and unwritten rule is a culture clash.

The vast majority of players who bat flip are Latin American/South American players.

Maybe we should call it what it really is.

Unwritten rules of White Baseball.

It shouldn't be, but a bunch of unwritten-rule boomers who yearn for the days where people wore bolo caps and suits to games are easily offended.

Meh. Jose Urethra is the one that was a little bitch and started all the shit between the Braves and Marlins.

But pitchers will be quick to give a fist pump or scream into the stands after a big out. Better not be excited about a big hit though, or else they are gonna get you back.

 

[fordman84]

The only unwritten rule in baseball I care about is about dugouts not screaming during a pitchers windup. Not a big deal in the majors, but HS and below it has got to be followed. That is the one thing that will piss me off.

Latin american players get just as pissy about being shown up via bat flips or pitcher celebrations as white players

It’s a fucked double standard. No doubt. I’ll stay with one thing. It’s a bat. Toss it in a way that can threaten a player or fan you are in for it. Short of that, fuck all that nonsense.
