1) Rich Eisen (angry, middle aged white guy, i guess) made the point today that when the NFL put the clamps on excessive celebration, part of the reason was that the league had received what Eisen called "thousands" of letters from youth league coaches asking for help because the kids emulated the antics they saw on the field in the NFL and the youth coaches were having trouble controlling the actions of their teams. Buy that if you want, but Eisen went onto say whether the bat-flip craze finds its way to youth leagues -- where the lack of coordination of younger players could lead to a bat flip that could hit or injure someone.
2) The instant exuberance of the Bautista flip, I thought, was in the heat of the moment, and I liked it. Yet somehow, Dyson's comments are being treated as whining because his team lost. This was an immediate reaction from Dyson -- not, like Bud Norris, a response to an interview question away from the heat of an emotional defeat. Dyson was also in the heat of the moment, even in the locker room afterwards. But his team lost, so it's okay to pile on?
3) Fans in Toronto threw things onto the field AFTER the home run -- as if to be a punctuation mark to what had just happened. Cause and effect. Should batters start turning bat flips and home run trots into orchestrated events, what's to stop fans from littering the field whenever something exciting happens?
To repeat, I had no problem with the bat flip ... in and of that particular moment. But what it might lead to is something to consider.

Dan Uggla? 2008 All Star Game? Two consecutive errors, three total.Remagellan said:
I haven't seen a performance by an infielder like Andrus' in the bottom of the seventh since the last time I watched Eight Men Out.
scotian1 said:I think Dyson lost credibility when he first got on Encarnacion after he was trying to calm the fans down almost causing a fracas and then in the same 7th inning after getting Tulo to pop up came in and touched him on the ass almost causing another incident. Dyson should just shut the ef up. He is ar from being an example to follow.

My mistake. I thought you were saying that others were calling him thatscotian1 said:I believe Dyson claiming that Bautista should reform his behavior because he was a role model was speaking from the point of view that he knew how a role model should behave when clearly if he does he doesn't behave that way himself.

Good point. Pretty much ruins entire article dictated/written/edited within 24 hours of game. The devil is always in the details. Like calling 1967 the year of "The Unlikely Dream".glennhoffmania said:
I'm disappointed that he referred to the Joba game as the "bug swarm" game instead of the "midge game."

I'll cut KT a little slack since he was still describing a Joba meltdown.
The lines about Reynolds in that article were extremely funny.
The Gray Eagle said:Back in the good old days, you didn't flip your bat when you hit a home run, not even in the World Series!
If some guy had done that back, oh 28 or so years ago, he would have been called every name in the book, and been thrown at every time he came up for a month! That is not Playing the Game the Right Way! It is showing up the pitcher, and if that had happened in the good old days, then the St. Louis Cardinals, the official arbiters of Playing the Game the Right Way, would have had that guy banned from baseball.
Why can't these kids these days Respect The Game like we did in the olden days almost 30 years ago!
I do, and I appreciate the heads-up. Going to DVR that 7th inning to watch when the snow's flying.rembrat said:NO ONE HAS THAT FUCKING CHANNEL
I wonder if the "I love Harold Reynolds" statement he uses every time he makes Harold sound like the moron that he is, is just patronizing. Pos is great, have to read more of his stuff.fineyoungarm said:So much of it is priceless - but the Harold Reynolds lines. I am still laughing.
Think I'll watch it today, 2 hours from now, as I also get that channel (yo, rem).InsideTheParker said:I do, and I appreciate the heads-up. Going to DVR that 7th inning to watch when the snow's flying.
