I had forgotten about their previous dustup, and was in the kitchen cooking dinner for the woman (wtf is wrong with this picture?) so I missed this one.
He was mad at himself for popping out and start jogging to 1st base. yanks dugout told him to 'just go back to the dugout' or something along those lines. He told them to "shut up" 3 times and the yanks catcher of course had to have something to say. I really didnt see anything wrong with it.
Makes no sense when opposing teams get mad at hitters showing frustration AT THEMSELVES for not doing better. Bumgarner got upset earlier this year at Deshields for the same thing. As high level athletes, you should expect yourself to do well, and should be somewhat upset at yourself when you make a mistake, especially when you're struggling. If you don't, what's the point of even competing?
Flipped his bat in disgust after misconnecting on a hittable pitch. I had no clue until this year that you're not supposed to show displeasure for having a poor at bat. Another one of those incredibly stupid "unspoken rules" of baseball that need to GAFD.
i never thought flipping a bat after a home run was taunting. when i watched pujols do it back in the day, i thought it was the normal way to get rid of the bat when running. who was the first player to ever flip a bat?
Can't speak to this or the Deshields situation, but Gomez's theatrics get on a lot of players' nerves. It's understandable if he's not on your team.
