Time for the annual "batflips vs. fist pumps" debate

[moxie]

Batflips should only be allowed against Madison Bumgarner.

She's pretty much the only reason to watch Community.

I have no issue with bat flips, and I also have no issue with the guy that flipped his bat catches one in the ribs the next time up as long as it's played in an NL park.

In the AL where the pitcher doesn't have to bat, beaning an opposing player is a bitch move, but then again, the DH is a bitch rule to begin with.

Well, since Jake Arrieta wants to be all "you can only flip a bat if you're a veteran," where are you guys on this issue?

I think batters should be allowed to flip a bat, knowing they might get a fastball in the earhole, and pitchers should be allowed to fist pump knowing they might get a broken bat up the wazoo in the parking lot

Well Dan I don't see issue with either of these moves.
As someone already stated it's a man's game so, if someone wants to flip a bat after tattering a pitch to the seats then he should be allowed to so emotions, now if a pitcher works out of a jam or has some "nasty stuff" working that day again emotions should be shown......


The only disclaimer would be a pitcher striking out another pitcher, fist pump would be "childish" since again he's pitching to a pitcher!

You make a good point here...why is it that usually it's only the PITCHER who gets all upset when a hitter flips the bat?

Well this is because that pitcher who is "pissy" cause of the flip just left a hanging 2-2 pitch right over the plate giving the batter a "fatty" to jack to the next county!

So what you're saying is, it'd be like a centerfielder getting pissed at a guy legging out a triple because he misplayed the ball?

See pitchers are over paid head cases! There job is simple, put the ball "around the plate" or blow it past the hitter! It's not rocket science here, throw the damn ball and let your defense do the work!

I like the way ya think...I just also believe that if you're gonna hurl projectiles at another man's body, you should stand in there and face some projectiles yourself
