Poll question: Jose Bautista's bat flip?

Poll result (48 votes) badass (44 votes) Vote bush league (4 votes) Vote I'm a Rangers fan (0 votes) Vote

you either loved it or you're voting for trump

but seriously, has anyone hated on it? ive even seen white ppl loving it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

that hate the bat flip

even though dudes been bat flipping since the beginning of time

its silly

1) Haven't there been a TON of articles and studies saying kids don't play ball in America anymore, and how that's a big problem? Guess what? They're more likely to play if there are more players like Joey Bat Flip and less sad pandas like you and Brian McCann

2) Hey, maybe don't groove a fastball in a crucial situation in an elimination game, and you won't see that.

down.

dude was so into his feelings lol

don't know what was said if anything.

trying to reiterate what he thought about the bat flip, he was trying to commiserate

you could see in his mind he was just trying to explain something very logical to him

everyone else is like "stfu and get back to the game"

His beef with Encarnacion when dude is actually trying to help was on some next level, Kobe just won a ring w/o Shaq OKP mad.

>His beef with Encarnacion when dude is actually trying to help was on some next level, Kobe just won a ring w/o Shaq OKP mad.

guess what? people like to celebrate. now sit down.

>you either loved it or you're voting for trump



^^^^^^^

#ASIANbatflipz

they all just seemed so staged and show boaty. I like raw emotion not planned celebrations. Bautista looked pumped up. That was his natural reaction and it was great.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

on a game winning homerun hit?

when I get home. I'm surprised Bonds never did this. Would be pretty nice to see a pre-roided Bonds be that boastful.

MLB network had a countdown of best batflips, his was number 2

Lol, you could tell that was just pure emotion/adrenaline and it was great.

Did y'all see the lack of fucks to give on his face after hitting the homer? He threw it at the perfect angle as well. Baseball needs more of these moments to keep interest alive.

this is the biggest possible spot.

that wasn't the case here.

Fixed that for you.

never underestimate the general crotchetry of the puritanical sportsfan

baby steps

to do with respecting the game or the pitcher.

It has to do with not making yourself look like an idiot.

.

is if he broke the bat over his leg so that it could never again be party to such glory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For real?..

Why are you still watching the batter and not the ball? Oh, bc it was a no doubter? So let's get upset at the fact that the guy just flipped his bat but not at the 3 run bomb part. smh.

I used to pitch (granted it was mod pitch softball) but i can't remember once watching what someone did with their bat...i'm too busy following the ball/praying it stays in the hard.

and I've been watching my whole life.

on the field in the first place.

These fucking sportswriters have made these "rules" into some fanboy shit.

see anytime a pitcher gets mad at a rookie for walking across the mound or whatever that one is about

you scrape the dirt around so that when you pitch you have traction...a bunch of folks running over the mound messes that up...that is understandable. Bat toss? Bullshit. Staring too long at your home run? Bullshit.

footing

i dont think any player is going to walk across the front of the mound and mess that up but i guess maybe you are right...


the only times i saw a pitcher get mad personally was dude walking across the BACK of the mound

more batflips



they always talk about wanting to attract more younger people ... not.like.this

Said manager Jeff Banister: “My perspective on that is we play the game the right way, hard, all 27 outs. We respect everybody.”

dude has one of the biggest bat flipper/homerun pimpers of all time on his team....and his man Odor pimped a triple against the Astros this season.

and stopped that shit

Toronto tattoo artist immortalizes Jose Bautista bat flip

Jose Bautista’s ALDS-winning home run is already burned into Blue Jays fans’ memories – now the moment is burned into somebody’s skin.

Scoot Mason tattooed the image of Bautista tossing his bat on a client’s thigh. He said it took about five-and-a-half hours to complete.

Scoot Mason says he just wanted to be a part of Blue Jays pandemonium.

So the Toronto tattoo artist did what he knows best: he tattooed.

“I was watching the baseball game the other day and it was just amazing. As soon as I seen the picture, I’m like, ‘Somebody needs to tattoo this,’” he told the Star in a telephone interview on Friday morning.

Mason was talking about the now-iconic image of Jose Bautista hitting the game-winning home run — and then flipping his bat — in Game 5 of the ALDS against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.

After sending out a message to his regular clients asking if anyone wanted to immortalize the moment with a tattoo, a local Jays’ fan got in touch, Mason said.

“I put out a message and a guy gave us a shout. He said that he loved my work . . . so he wanted a tattoo (and) came down,” he said. “He’s a little bit of a Jays’ fan. It’s hard not to be when the city’s like this, you know?”

Mason, who works at Forever Young Ink on Queen St. W. , tattooed the image of Bautista tossing his bat on the client’s thigh. He said it took about five-and-a-half hours to complete on Thursday.

Since he posted a photo of the finished tattoo on Instagram, Mason said he’s received “tons of requests” from other people wanting one. And even Joey Bats himself took notice.

I posted on Google docs for now until I get my new blog set up.

Just started writing again recently for the first time in years.

I love the bat flip.

weird that they played all of the games vs TEX already

some BS to wait until the 8th of the last game to plunk him

and I have no beef with his slide

it was late

but no contact

obviously Joey Bats has never been in a real fight though

homie caught a 2 piece by a dude wearing a baseball glove

LOL

they arent gonna put the tying run on base intentionally in the 8th inning

bat flip...

I actually thought waiting like they did made it more ill...

Bats should have just taken it...but really I don't think the slide was that crazy...

either way.... keep your guard up...

every sport needs that balance between celebrating and overly showboating. very rarely do i see anyone really showboating too far (such as mooning crowd at 50 yard line, etc etc, and even that was funny to me).

seriously tho, still don't understand the whole bat flip anger.


dude got rocked tho

and I still can't believe this guy played for the Pirates and we traded him a box of old peanut brittle.

dude thought they was gonna shoulder wrestle lol

dudes nickname is Rough Odor..not fucking with him

He was wobbly as hell after that punch connected. He is lucky Beltre pulled him away from that scrum

http://i.imgur.com/Xwwyg4T.gifv

i would've bet you anything he was like 45 by now. i used to have a poster of him when i was a kid.

I wish it went a few seconds longer cause you can see Jose put his hands up almost in prayer and the look on his face is hilarious. Almost cartoonish. Christ he is so annoying and this image just says everything you need to know about him.

That's all I see in the videos.

>That's all I see in the videos.

in a big moment in the playoffs nonetheless

Sounds very exciting.

regardless of whether he DID get hurt, he could have been killed (yes i know, extreme situation, but possible). all because he flipped a bat. that is disgusting. it's a major reason why i won't watch baseball. those unwritten rules are so ridiculous and retarded that they make the game unwatchable and unfun.

hitting him for the bat flip is ridiculous but possible to happen in the MLB world of fragile egos


do i believe they hit him for that?no, atleast not in the sense that bush was told to do it


i believe one of two scenarios


he was told to pitch inside and since encarnacion hasnt been hitting too well if he plunks him so be it, but on the other hand the guy batting right behind him Smoak has been absolutely owning us



or

bush decided to pitch inside on his own and not worry about not hitting him



my reasoning:



the rangers are practically incapable of holding a lead this year. there is no way the manager would put the tying run on board in the 8th with no or 1 outs

can you imagine if they hit him and he comes around to tie, then comes back up in extra innings? toronto already has our number pretty bad, "getting him back" is completely overshadowed by the embarrass list possibilities opened up once you put him on base


just how i see it though

Jose is a douchebag. Not for the bat flip (which I think is fine). He's just a douchebag regardless. lol Seeing him get punched was funny as hell to me.

could watch videos from the J/K leagues all day


i just hate the fake tough guy act. i dont even mind bad slide on odor, theyve been sliding like that for years, dudes are still gonna do that until it costs them enough outs to consciously think about it


but as mentioned before

if a grown man shoves you

and you come back for more

you are now in a fight

lol. Dirty slide....then staredown.... putting your fists up....then acting surprised that you got punched?

The whole sequence was hilarious. All of the holding and hugging and 'don't hold me back' shit. Looked like prom night.

Nobody needs to tell him to act with reckless disregard for other people's safety.

"After 12 long years, player finally gets his shot"....

not being a complete fuck up after years of being a fuck up


maybe in 5 years from now when hes still not a fuck up will my heart grow warm for him

Like he was barefoot out in a field, tossing corn cobs through two horseshoes tied together to ma,e a target, waiting for Kevin Costner to roll up in a pickup and say, "Hey son, how'd you like to do that under the big lights?"

he's a dirty player, historically. Im biased as a Blue Jays fan, but I mean...how can anyone say this was warranted? Bautista homered in one of the biggest, most heated playoff moments ever. And he threw his bat away like an orgasmic release (which it was after one of the craziest innings in playoff history?)...he didn't showboat. He didn't taunt. He did his damage and ran the bases.

So...to then wait til the 8th of the 7th game of the season, at home, and plunk him in the ribs at 95mph? FINE. Did bautista slide hard? Hell yeah. Was it illegal? In 2016, sure...but there is actually zero doubt Odur a filthy fuck who wanted to throw down. End of story.

Give him 10 games.
