Jose Bautista's Bat Flip

[ABC]

I'm sure it wouldn't be easy to contain one's self after doing that.

 

It would have been impressive if he did though.

 

Different people, different personalities. It's good that people are different.

Doesn't seem like it's been 27 years tonight.

 

Also reminded me that Baylor played for the AL champ Red Sux in 1986, the WS champ Twins in 1987, and the AL champ A'th in 1988. 

Three WS appearances in a row with THREE different teams, how often has that happened?

Eric Hinske was the most recent guy to do it, I believe.

 

2007 Red Sox

2008 Rays

2009 Yankees

I don't know...it was filmed in color. Too flashy

[floplag]

Vin Scully's call is so great on that

 

Oh and no bat flip

 

No, no bat flip, but a whole lot of fist pumping and arm raising., your point? 

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Someone should have charged out of the Phillies dugout when Joe Carter was taking his victory lap after hitting a game and series winner off Williams!  

 

In all seriousness huge moments like that are awesome seeing guys go nuts and enjoy it.  

[Jay]

Oh yeah, Joe Carter

 

no bat flip

All this talk of bat flips reminds me of one of my favorite things about Vlad. When he got into one, a no doubter, instead of tossing the bat aside as with any other hit he'd do the anti-bat-flip and lay the bat gently at his feet, as if to say "I'm just going to leave this here but I'll be right back to pick it up."

if dyson had moonwalked off the mound, ranger or no ranger, id instantly become a fan. Bot because i like showing people up, but its 2015..if a guy still moonwalks...in cleats...on uneven ground over grass...hes a bad motherf***er from where i sit in life.

If he did that, he would probably dislocate something in the process.

The stick from his ass?

[seenoevil]

[CaliAngel]

I was fine with it because it was against the stupid Rangers.

That's easy to say when you're sitting on your couch and didn't just blast a series winner in front of 40K creaming fans.

did you mean to say screaming fans? If so, i think it worked better this way

[ABC]

you're right.

Reggie Jackson use to flip  his bat all the time. Bunch of pussies in todays time. Pete Rose was right

[CaliAngel]

Tattoos are dumb.

If this guy had done this to the Angels, this place would have gone berserk. And to be honest if it had, i would have been a bit bent myself, BUT since it happened to the Rangers... i think it was awesome.

The only thing wrong with that bat flip is that he didn't hit Hamilton with it

[SoCALkid]

Guarantee he'll be the first to cry when Hosmer or Moustakas batflip against the Jays. It's always the biggest showboats who are the biggest cry babies.

you're dumb

[ukyah]

i'm all for all the showboating, histrionics, etc. that any player wants to do. the more the other team takes offense the better. anybody ever notice, it really adds to the excitement when the competitive juices start flowing? i think beaning a guy because of a bat flip is the real bush league pussy move.

The tattoo artist said it took him like 3 hours to finish the shading on the upper lip.
