Yeah I never really could get it to work well on my cell either. No worries, I wasn't taking it any other way.

Is that you in your avator?

I have real problems with the size of the text unless I write the entire thing in one pass left to right, with few back edits. Oh well, not that big a concern. Just wasn't sure how hard that earlier post was to look at :wink:

And no, that picture is not me. But we are all Dart Guy.

Ok. But how come you're not asking "why" when it comes to the escalated response? "Guy hits a home run, flips his bat in a satisfied manner harming no one, faces potentially physically harmful response" is just a reasonable and logical progression?

Because I don't want to :D

But in all honesty you are right, it doesn't actually harm anyone but you know how you'd feel about it if you were in the oppositions shoes. You'd be thinking he was showing up your pitcher.. We all know players hate when that happens. Unless you are a wife beating sob then they don't care...

Sure, when the bat flipper is Canadian.

Yep. Sucker punch. Baseball players push and shove. Bautista wasn't expecting a punch because he hadn't considered the fact that he was facing off with a cholo.

Also, I won't take any guff from a guy who roots for a human piece of shit like Braun.


first and foremost, Bautista is a dumb fuck getting in someone's face without putting up his guard - he deserved to get "sucker punched" as you perceive it to be

secondly, just because he is on the team that I root for doesn't mean I root for him or that too hard for you to comprehend?

Sure but as I said before I'm not criticizing anyone's feelings here, just the actions. Acting like a jackass in an indirect way (hell even if it's done intentionally to hurt feelings) is not a nice thing to do, not the kind of thing I would do myself. But in the absence of actual aggression it's not something that justifies an aggressive response. I'm sure that there are those that disagree with me but I'm fine with that moral stance.

That's the game of baseball. Flip a bat and players get pissed off

And the rest of us stand by and excuse it as being appropriate.

And then we go on and on about how we can't understand why people don't get along in this world.

Don't think it's right either way imo... But you are right... Then again, how can we get along Trump is the POTUS

And we all know that this makes a huge difference in the day to day lives of all of the 300+ million people lIving across the USA. Let alone the rest of the world.

So when "you're down a billion that's your job to do is to hit home runs!", that's the time when doing something like this really harms the other team in some way I guess. I mean, I get it. Makes obvious logical sense.

Don't be coy given the circumstances that had already taken place in the game and the previous two.

Tape don't lie...and Bautista was clearly "getting out" and not "getting in" after the first punch
If you watch Bautista's arm and hand you can see he was getting ready to throw a punch. Long and loopy will get you knocked out..

How does a team unintentionally hit 7 batters in a 3 game span?
