I hate how oversensitive all these pussys are to stuff like that. One of the reasons baseball is struggling with overall popularity is because of all the stupid un-written rules where guys are supposed to act like fucking robots and not have any kind of flair for the dramatic. Loved seeing that.

Yeah, definitely don't like the direction the NFL is going in. Baseball is way worse though. Anyone who doesn't subscribe to the old white man's standards of playing will be chastised. It's not even official rules, just all these stupid genteman standards that people treat as gospel. Young players like Harper and Puig pimp a home run and people act like they took a shit on home plate or something. I even remember Griffey taking heat for wearing his cap backwards and watching his home runs go out when he was coming up in the 90's. That Bautista moment was awesome and baseball would be much better with more of it.

That's why basketball is the best sport

Right... it happened to Royals young Ace Yardano Ventura earlier in the year. He was just being competitive and he got a grounder bounced weakly right back to him by Mike Trout, and so he kind of gave Trout a quick stare and then slowly walked over and threw him out at first base.
I mean... if this was basketball it would of been the equivalent to an NBA player dunkin on some dude and then just briefly lookin down at him before gettin back on defense. No big deal in the NBA where players are allowed to show more of their personality.
...But in baseball this was totally not allowed. Trout threw a tantrum and the whole league criticized Ventura for being young and being "unprofessional". Even his own team and coaching staff started "counseling" him on his "behavior". He started pitching with less emotion and his ERA fell so much he even got sent down to the minors at one point in the year. He ended up being talented enough to get over it and still keep his spot in the rotation—but it's just a shame he had to go through such a big fall-out just for not acting like a robot.
