Emotion is great. You strike someone out in a big spot, pump your fist, show emotion towards YOUR dugout. If you get a big hit or homerun in a big spot, show emotion but you can do it without making a mockery of the game or the opposing team.
That pitcher will be playing in the Sunday Over 35 league in a few years after he finishes the week at his local 7-11.
We see the exact moment that this pitcher decided to come out to the world. I am just glad it was my Clemson Tigers that gave him a slice of humble pie while doing so. Go Tigers! The real USC.
Dude got what was coming to him. Simple as that. Justice served. Let the game work these things out. You want to show up a pitcher then be ready for those consequences, and when you act a clown on the mound get ready to get clowned. Emotional pitchers can work for a short period, but not too long. The best pitchers are stoic and locked in.

The pitcher had it coming; but I get it.....the emotions in a rivalry like this are off the charts. As a hitter, I never did the bat-flip myself; but there were many times when I connected and I KNEW that it was gone, I would enjoy "taking a moment" and slow start my trot as I was watching the trajectory of the ball as it left the park. I always got lip from 1B and the catcher and sometimes the coach but the reaction from the crowd and the back slaps in the dugout made it worth it.

Another great video Matt! Completely agree with you on this one
That look on the pitchers face after he smashed it.....😂😂 ** Absolutely priceless **
The rule is already in place. You saw it play out and no bat flip was needed. A refresher: The pitcher was daring batters to hit off him A batter crushed it He dropped his bat appropriately and rounded all bases On his way home…he skipped and joined his team who all jubilantly rubbed in it together. Did you see that celebration? I did…no need for pulling the light on himself. His stick already told the story that really matters, why toss it up like it’s a tool when the tosser is the true tool when THAT happens. Act like you’ve done this before and create a reputation as a good/great player and sport.

I don’t care what sport it is…whenever I see the behavior of a player like that pitcher, it communicates something that they really don’t want. If I’m that team’s coach, I shut it down FAST…if I’m the opposing team’s coach, I use it to motivate my players to bind together as a team. A solo artist like that actually signals dysfunction. I’ll never forget that one water volleyball tournament when a player on the other side was slamming up with spike after spike. I finally got my turn to face him and jumped higher than probably EVER on a ball that either of us could have gotten and spanked it so hard …it was everything I hoped might happen. It hit his forehead and then went sky high on the bounce out of bounds (our point). This was a singles apartment complex where the tournament was the major event at a huge party sponsored by a beer company…the entire crowd went wild. It was spectacular and I believe that even the people cheering for his team was feeling redemption for his brutish behavior. I celebrated the play uneventfully with my team (while virtually exploding inside) and we went on to win the tournament. The only thing that made it better was that he had “Voit” tattooed on his forehead where the brand was welting up for the rest of the game and afterwards. As I said, I couldn’t have drawn up a better result. Wanna flip your bat…then do it at your own demise. As for me, I sure don’t wanna give away any power.

Matt, it is imperative that we keep our dignity, respect for the game, our maturity, our sportsmanship intact. Our parents have told us, all because one person jumps off the bridge, you don't have to jump too! That's why we "don't" mimic bad behavior, but ask ump to enforce "rules of sportsmanship" to stop & control it. Because your neighbor robs a bank, buys new cloths, gold watches, new car...you THINK you HAVE the RIGHT to rob a bank too! Of course not. Punish the offender, take away the goods. What we don't do, is imitate the bad behavior that we dislike of others. Children say, I'm giving him a taste of his own medicine! CHILDREN! Are you a child or a man? Are you of good character or not? Do you respect the game or not?
My first two professional HR’s were in the same inning and watched the second one a bit long. Catcher and pitcher mouth off at home plate then they hit my buddy next pitch.

He should have danced around the bases like video game Matt did 🤣🤣🤣
Detroit Tigers Mark Fidrych was the best in showboating… bring it back👍🏻✨
I would have skipped to 1st, moonwalked to 2nd, kickworm to 3rd and walked home doing my best Ric Flair- WOO!
2:11 That move is called The George Jefferson 😂😂😂
That was a BOMB!
Right out of the box, i wouldve done every strut from MLB The Show, at every base, do 10 push ups, a couple jumping jacks into a kart wheel at home. Just do the goofiest shit. That batter was gracious to limit the celebration to the last 10 feet
This is modern day sports. Act like you've done something special before you've actually done something special. NFL and NBA are full of guys like this. Highlight on a local news equals rings and championships
Batter should have skipped around the whole damn base path… amazing
