How did the controversy over bat flips start?? | Quick Question

[@ronhalliday7304]

I said it then and I'll say it now: that was not a bat flip by Jose Bautista, that was a lumber chuck.

😂

[@cypothingy]

One of the most underrated KZbin series. We need more episodes urgently

[@richking6701]

When u see a pitcher scream after a strikeout they don’t get mad, but when a batter shows emotions its bad cuz it’s disrespectful. LET THEM PLAY!!!!!

[@dhigssgkhkd7512]

I don't agree with ether side pitchers shouldn't show up the batter the batter shouldn't show up the pitcher

[@adrian023]

Bro that’s actually a good point

[@cristobalbalenciaga7295]

So making your bat make a circle is showing emotions..?😂

[@paultrottier247]

Bautista bat flip was the best!!

[@yeffry]

ALL TIME!

[@Beeznhunny]

Including the King of batflips, Jose Bautista, without the King of unwritten rules Madbum’s input makes this an incomplete story.

[@BlueSkyCrystals]

They didn’t even show Bret Boone’s bat flips so it’s incomplete in many ways.

[@mattyserelis9798]

The fact that anyone gets more mad about bat flips than about intentionally hitting batters with pitches is absurd.

[@RBZ-1]

What's more crazy is they can't even recognize and will vehemently defend their own petulance but could 100% recognize it in someone they don't like lol

[@uhhlawnzoe4579]

In a game where failure is more common than success you gotta realize that celebration is well overdue. Let the boys have fun.

[@cristobalbalenciaga7295]

So making your bat spin a circle is a celebration? I really don’t understand people why people get upset by it, nor why people do it

@@thatoneguy9666 yes but not just throwing a stick in a circle. They actually cheer, and shout. And what’s even crazier is that the opponent takes it as disrespect.. 1. WHY is that disrespectful 2.

[@Fetimano]

But pitchers can scream and celebrate after a strikeout?

[@HendrikBreen22]

As a young fan who loves these moments: Thank you Jose for breaking a barrier in baseball :called bat flips it has indeed brought more fans to the game

Some of these "bat flips" literally just look like they're dropping the bat

Loved this episode please do these weekly!!!

[@tommyj653]

I thought Jose Bautista would have a deep mean voice. He sounds so nice lmao

[@AbleAnderson]

Not a Blue Jays fan but quite possibly the coolest bat flip ever

[@thatonecanadian86]

I was on another video and I saw this comment that actually made sense, if your a pitcher and you strike out a showboating batter, showboat back, and vice versa if it’s a showboating pitcher. Just let them have fun

I love seeing the bat flips!

I'm glad things have finally changed. Stupid unwritten rules smh. Let them have FUN, show emotions, that's what makes it even more exciting for everyone, love to see it 👍👌🙌

[@SKI10]

If the batter can't batflip, then the pitcher/fielders can't celebrate a clutch strikeout/out

[@robertsolimanm7031]

As a police officer for 45 years let me help - rules that are consequential must be written down for continuity during the validation stage of passing and accepting the rule set - this is not a set of rules it’s a bunch of stuff little league coaches have their 12 year olds do to keep kids having fun and playing the sport - but when ypu are a professional million dollar athlete n a game where consequences are not just financial but extend to the city buses and team role within the community not hurting the pitchers feeling it no longer a concern . If it is not established and written down then it’s not a rule so do it

[@RBZ-1]

Exactly officer! We're talking rich adult males playing a game for entertainment, justifying a violent (suckerpunch type) reaction to, not words, not even eye contact...but a gesture. If that ain't a soft ego reacting like a child, I don't know what is haha.

[@Ueiksg]

I don’t really have a problem with it. But unless it’s a walkoff or a meaningful Homer it’s just a bit silly. Over the top flipping a first inning solo homer is just dumb IMO

[@MarcosElMalo2]

I’ll sort of buy that. I don’t agree with it, but you made a reasonable argument without sounding like wanker. A lead off solo homer on the first pitch in the first inning is badass (imho), would that be different?

[@Ueiksg]

@@MarcosElMalo2 maybe idk. I suppose so as it’s pretty rare. I can also understand bat flipping if it’s like a 450ft bomb at any time.

[@katherineberger6329]

I am 110% a fan of Luis Arraez bat flipping after working a 10-pitch walk. The man is an artist of pitch count.

[@americasteam2112]

No different than a TD celebration in the NFL.

[@the9287]

I’m sorry but if I hit a rock hard ball that has been hurled at me at 95+ mph out of the park …celebrating is most definitely what I’ll do , without even realizing

[@GIMMETHELOOTNOW]

I want more bat flips‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@Darkkefka]

I was about to have ONE minor complaint about this good video. It's a video on bat flips..and REGGIE JACKSON is not in it....and then you showed him at the VERY end. Nice fake out!

[@therhyano1850]

Nobody remembers their first bat flip. Everyone remembers been called out for hitting the biggest hit of your life to that point.

[@WhangaFish]

Break the written rules all you like, but by god don't break an unwritten rule!

[@jesserempel2108]

Honestly what’s cooler than throwing at a batter who may have bat flipped on you is getting a freaking strikeout. Don’t get me wrong I still think sportsmanship is important, but celebrating doing a good job in a ball game should not make grown men that mad.

[@RBZ-1]

Exactly! How can these sophisticated sickos think beaning a defenseless batter like an angry chicken from a safe distance is more satisfying than fanning tf out of the guy and sending him directly to the dugout on his next at bat? 🤔

[@DoubleDown310]

Started with Brett Boone.

[@jeffcameron3390]

I waited the whole video for Boone. Best bat flip of all time !

[@idek256]

it started way before that

[@FarGone24]

@@idek256 It sure did, but it became a talking point in 2001 when Brett Boone started doing it. Teams didn't like it, especially considering their record breaking 116 win season.

Amazing video, bat flips are FUN, USUALLY, not meant disrespectfully

[@wilfordbrimley6938]

How are like half of these considered bat flips... Rollins 5:06 just straight up dropped it a little faster than normal. The bat has to come out of people's hands somehow, is everyone supposed to just be Lance Berkman??? ffs 🤦‍♂️

I'm a person that respects baseball culture, i might be old fashioned and players as well should respect the unwritten rules, but gosh how I love BAT FLIPS!!!

[@benkofi8570]

The unwritten rule of "no celebrations (including bat flips)" is unnecessarily restrictive though

[@michelef5325]

Do more of theese videos!! I love them

[@godzillaiv2096]

To me if the unwritten rule isn't officially written down then I'm not bound by said rules. What's so bad about expressing yourself in the heat of the moment? If I were in the MLB and I got scrutinized over a bat flip. I'd tell them 'critics' respectfully to go screw themselves. I'd rather have fun playing the game I love than feeling like a damn zombie. Nothing wrong with venting that emotion.

[@bryanwunder5246]

Go ahead and flip your bat, but expect to get the next pitch in your ear. Emotions run both ways.

[@godzillaiv2096]

@@bryanwunder5246 So if I capitalize off someone's mistake and flip my bat. That's okay to throw the next pitch at someone's ear? LMAO. Explain that logic. I view bat flipping no different than celebrating a dunk in basketball or drawing a foul converting it into a 3 point play or making a touchdown and celebrating for a second or 2 in football. I don't see an issue here about bat flipping just like I see no issue with pitchers getting hyped about striking someone out. Explain the issue with bat flipping.

[@katherineberger6329]

If pitchers don't want to get bat flipped on, they shouldn't give up home runs.

[@melissakomons8498]

Quick Question is back!! Batflips show a player's style

Throwing your batt in a circle shows players style? How? I really try to understand it. But doesn’t your bat flip naturally when throwing it away?😅

[@juliomacias9014]

Celebrating weather you're a pitcher, hitter, or a defender robbing a homer/base hit. Makes it exciting for the Fans!

All this "Unwritten Rule" bullshit that expects players to not show any emotion is whats killing the game. Let em play, let em celebrate, let em have fun, it makes for a better product

[@aidanwotherspoon905]

“If you don’t want me flipping my bat, you better get me out” That really should be the end of the discussion

[@stevec6965]

My favorite homerun celly will always be Derek Dietrich aganst the pirates. The guy hit it and stayed in the box until it went out. Hilarious.

[@christendo5733]

This sport is more concerned about the unwritten rules being broken than the written rules being broken. These people who are against bat flips are karens, let players have some fun for fuck's sake. If they wanna bat flip let 'em bat flip, a little bit of flashiness won't hurt anyone. This is not controversial, our society is just too soft and politically correct.

[@MLBredsox12]

This was a fantastic video, thank you

[@KingBueno619]

Don’t do bat flips at Truist Park

[@ten_smudge8514]

So what if bat flips are disrespectful. If a guy hits a home run on you it's okay for him to let you know about it. It's the same as a guy dunking on another guy and giving him the stare. No big deal. Some people are too soft

This video seems to equate joy with taunting, to equate expression with preening. One Willie "Mays" Hays is amusing; a team full of them would get old real quick. It also ignores the fact that Jose Bautista ended up taking a knockout punch in the mouth for this. Now THAT was entertaining. 😆

[@jasonmilly3320]

When MLB and half the fanbase started nonstop obsessing over it like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Kinda cringeworthy. Bat flips have always been a thing... well before Jose Bautista elevated it to another level. Ortiz, Pujols, Torii Hunter just to name a few, and three star players, typically flipped their bat when they got a hold of one, but nobody ever pointed it out and acknowledged it. I hope MLB and the fans are just in a fad right now, and this omg omg bat flip obsession like we're all 10 year olds will go away. Nothing I hate more than trying to watch highlights, and instead of seeing the ball, the play itself, the cameras focused on the bat flip...

[@robertsolimanm7031]

I would so oi so like to point out for a person who on,y watches these videos and doesn’t watch baseball - pitchers being butt hurt because a player looked at his home run is about the weakest most pathetic point of contention in sports - if someone looking at a home run hurts your delicate feelings that’s as fragile as I have ever seen anyone be

[@whentheygolow_wegohigh7306]

The individuality and expression of the players should be respected. A pitcher strikes out an important outing and celebrates or strikes out, but why not a batter? You just need to refrain from a ceremony that strongly provokes the opponent. And on the bench, both teams know and know if it's a taunt or not. 😉🤨
