RedBeard Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 One more thing... Fleury didn't pot that goal, stare down the goalie and then flip his stick.. I'd say his reaction was more like Morales'; cheering toward his fans and dugout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningChrome Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Bautista was not staring down the pitcher, he was watching the ball. That's a pretty big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeard Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Dude he stares right at the pitcher while he's in the batters box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrinhurst Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Ok, he glanced at the pitcher for a fraction of a second before he flipped the bat and ran the bases. I wouldn't call that staring down the pitcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeard Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Whatever, I think it's bush league, you guys think it's awesome. Go Royals in the ALCS, and if they don't do it, then go (insert NLCS champ here) in the world series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigdirty Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Baseball can be boring at times. A little bit of showmanship is gonna help the game in the end imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveM Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I had my fishing gear in the trunk of my car yesterday. Was thinking about hitting the Bow when I got off work at 3pm. Drove to the river, listened to the game on the way. Decided to go home & watch the game instead. Sure glad I did. It was epic in so many ways. Even the idiot "fans" couldn't ruin it...

BurningChrome Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I think this sums it up nicely. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/154589232 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Not about "not getting baseball", its about not getting the whole "epicness" of that inning. Emotions ran high, simple as that. I can't know for certain, but I'm willing to bet all the change in my pocket against anyone else's that that inning was one of the most emotional innings of baseball ever played in the MLB, in terms of pendulum swings. I would not expect those players from either sides to react like pulse-less zombies. Oh, and I call BS on the Rangers. I'm sure if the positions were reversed, one of their batters / players would have celebrated...exuberantly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbow Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I mostly gave up on baseball about 2 player strikes ago ($5mm a year to hit .227?!?!) but will watch playoffs. In July that bat flip is bush league. In Oct, bottom of 7th of deciding 5th game in a wild inning, upper deck homer - that's just pure emotion. Gotta like Jose's reply to the reporter whether he had any comment about what Dyson said after the game - casual "No." It's the fans who were bush league not Jose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Whatever, I think it's bush league, you guys think it's awesome. Go Royals in the ALCS, and if they don't do it, then go (insert NLCS champ here) in the world series. Problem with rooting for KC is they celebrate probably more than any other team. That's why they were constantly getting under teams skins this year. I'm not a giant fan of the stare down, even if it was brief. Bautista had shown more than a bit of anger about the calls and I think some of that burst out when he hit the homer. Overall though, much ado about nothing. I thought the Rangers pitcher should have kept his mouth shut, but there is a bit of emotion there as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
