Pitchers can celebrate after a big strikeout, but batters have to act like they're in a library?

[Tres Leches]

hitters do celebrate some pose for a couple of seconds but I agree pitchers do celebrate more and get away with it..it should be even

He still never answered why it would be acceptable for him to celebrate but not a hitter.

He answered it. @jfkennedy never said it was ACCEPTABLE or anything of the sort for a pitcher to celebrate after a big strikeout.

He states clearly that y'all damn well know the difference between taunting/showing up your opponent and celebrating and you damn well better know what you're getting into if you DELIBERATELY taunt/show up players from the opposing team in a sport like baseball. Some pitchers take the hoe way out in trying to hit you or a team mate and their are some pitchers who just don't give a damn and keep it moving.

Jesus. It's not solely because the batter hit a HR. And throwing at their head isn't acceptable, up and in doesn't have to be at their head. But the pussification of the game now has batters thinking they shouldn't even be pitched inside anyway, so that's a whole different story.


Up and in doesn't necessarily mean throw at their head. I don't advocate throwing at anyone's head. Pitchers do have a right to pitch inside though.

U totally missed mmy point

You wrote the words "stop throwing HR pitches" so to be honest, I can't take what you're saying too seriously anyway. I've made my point, this topic isn't important enough to have as many posts in this thread I already do.

Harold Reynolds and Mitch Williams said exactly what I felt about the Jose Fernandez situation with the Braves last night.

I always wanted to see a bat "accidently" slip out of a batter's hands towards the pitcher after someone got hit.

Someone needs to come up with a creative way to retaliate against pitchers.

I always thought intentionally hitting batters was some sucker shyt. If you're that mad, go fight.

Pitchers seem offended by almost anything. Bat flip. Too slow around the bases. Too slow to leave the box.

No he didn't. He's been asked why can he celebrate and the hitter can't. He just commented on how he would retaliate.
