Other "rule" that gets me is "don't look at the pitcher, celebrate, etc..."

between innings. I get you don't want to break a guys mojo or whatever but if I just struck out the side or got out of jam and I'm walking back to the dugout I'd be happy to get a pat on the back and celebrate with my team just like a guy who hit a home run. Just so many weird rules in baseball.

Too much of an advantage in the ensuing brawl -- TomTurkey 10/30/2019 11:23AM

Pedro Martinez said he would plunk both of them. That is good enough for me ** -- OrlandoHokie 10/30/2019 11:19AM

I want to see someone pony ride the bat around the bases. ** -- Guy LeDouche 10/30/2019 11:07AM

So, isn't that perfedt then? if it's not offensive, then neither is Soto's -- `lag 10/30/2019 11:00AM

I find Soto's at bats very interesting. -- Guy LeDouche 10/30/2019 11:13AM

It's refreshing. Pitchers try to intimidate batters. Why not the reverse? ** -- ModerateHokie 10/30/2019 12:15PM

He's going to take one on the bean for his antics at some point soon. -- MilwaukeeHokie 10/30/2019 11:23AM

Anything out of the norm is interpreted at "Look at me, ain't I great!?" -- Nova Hokie 95 10/30/2019 10:42AM

Same as a bat flip, or the 3 minute lap around the bases -- JoesterVT 10/30/2019 10:34AM

I don't have a problem with the bat flip either. -- great2bahokie 10/30/2019 10:36AM

When did baseball players become snowflakes? -- VaTechie 10/30/2019 1:45PM

Since the dawn of time I think. This is not new. ** -- Brown Water 10/30/2019 1:55PM
