If you don't want the batter to flip his bat, then pitch better.

[@ryandalaba5861]

The kids need to see stuff like this. Sports shouldn't be super serious all the time. They are meant to be fun. He's just having fun out there. And a bat flip certainly isn't going overboard on his celebration. There shouldn't be a problem with this. I totally agree with Colin

[@MichaelWilliams-cd9if]

At 3:40 Colin says "Good hell" LOL!!!!!!. I'm stealing that expression.

[@salvatoresultana4058]

That bat flip changed baseball for the better.

[@darex0827]

damn straight, nail on the head. love the court system / law comparison. True words!

[@TheNBAfan101]

Football players celebrate touchdowns Basketball players celebrate dunks Baseball players celebrate home runs... So what in the hell is the problem?? People are way too sensitive these days, I mean it is so sad how gullible people really are these days, they'll create controversy over spreading too much mayo on your sandwich. That's how dumb people are, that's what we have to hear from people who bag on athletes when they don't even have an inch of the talent that these players have.

[@butsikfinkel3483]

Reylo1218 hockey players celebrate goals

[@alexrobinson7127]

I agree with you and, I feel like most people do too. Its the leagues--nba, nfl, mlb, etc--over regulating in fear of losing advertising and tv money

[@PlutoTheSecond]

I like your point about basketball players celebrating dunks, because a dunk is only two points out of the hundred or so that you score in the whole game. If you're celebrating that, it's only because of the flair. Hitting a monster home run like that is at least on par with a damn dunk and you should be allowed to celebrate it, especially when the home run is the difference in the game.

[@TheNBAfan101]

As a Capitals fan, thanks for reminding me lmao :)

[@Boldjrich19]

I love baseball and I 100% agree with Colin on this. Baseball needs to stop being so uptight and a Buzz Killington. Embrace a little celebration and energy from the young players. Baseball needs players with some charisma, that will help attract younger viewers.

[@picklewiggle6133]

baseball players are ao sensitive sometimes lol

[@Lukas-wz3yt]

Dillon Johnston agreed

[@TheHerdOnFS1]

There are too many buzzkills in MLB - 'The Herd'

[@razkable]

i agree...joes is just happy...he isnt a robot....we want our athletes to care...emotions are fine...why did the pitcher ruin the moment...

[@brianw6094]

Taunting

[@DozaSlayer]

It's not taunting, it's a bat flip. Getting rid of bat flips or getting riled up about them is really dumb. I'm a pitcher. As a pitcher, if a bat flip gets under your skin, you should pitch better. He didn't talk to any of the opposing players like he did against Baltimore. In a situation like that, he deserves to celebrate

[@austinknighton5319]

absolutely, I love Bryce Harper, and José Bautista, going and fighting guys. I love the Red Sox outfield doing dances. I love the rangers infield goofing off. the are 182 games in a season and as a baseball guy it can get hard to watch sometimes, but the fights and dances make me feel like the games matter and the players care.

[@dimercenary3090]

DozaSlayer It's viewed as arrogant and disrespectful especially the way Bautista did it during the ALDS when he flipped it at the Rangers dugout.

[@666kingdrummer]

Jose Bautista didn't need to apologize, tell Sam Dyson to stop being such a man-child and get over it.

[@SuperMathewson]

Colin, I would love to see you and Keith Olbermann talk about baseball. A thirty minute segment of the two of you just talking about baseball would be something I would love to watch!

[@cobykerr8940]

All the unwritten rules are dumb and so damn sensitive

[@taylorsmith9629]

Unwritten rules are stupid in general

[@ortiztheinfamous2771]

"Huh , things got glorious" lmao chill

[@urbantrails4432]

Dyson sucks

[@Mr_Spock512]

Who is Dyson? ... case closed.

[@flame-sky7148]

“ He plays the game the right way” only in baseball. You know during the COVID year when people were forced to look at baseball from other countries like South Korea, did some people wake up and go you know other people have a great time playing and watching baseball their own way.

[@EvetsZerimar23]

Oh my god! A bat flip? My god no!! How will the opposing team recover from such devastation?! I guess the team will have to forfeit every game from here on in. Thank god they stood up for baseball. #baseballmatters Lol

[@dominiqueosorio-davis6781]

90S baseball was iller bench clearing brawls,Roger Maris Hr race, and the All Star breaks.

[@johndottaviano5113]

This is why I can't get into baseball

[@JHockeyFan]

Baseball is too slow. Hockey is the best sport IMHO.

[@GTAVSL4]

Jesse W lmao what a wild description of hockey

[@lonnyfuller5806]

Baseball will also allow you to throw a 100+ mph fastball at your head and just get kicked out of the game new school politically correct baseball sucks I'd like to see these punks go after Pete Rose for that

[@ethan732]

Apparently Jose Bautista hasn’t had a good career

[@salvatoresultana4058]

I think he was talking about the winning.

[@AsylumSaint]

A career .247 hitter. Yea, he was setting the world on fire.

[@jeremydes100]

What would bob Gibson have done?

[@nathandorow5345]

whats wrong with a kid bat flipping?

[@kalel311superman9]

Baseball sucks....I stopped watching a long time ago

[@jacklowder4660]

lmao colin I love you but Jose Bautista has not "hit a baseball 10,000 times" Jose Bautista and every other major leaguer hit 10,000 baseballs before they finished high school

[@chuck5568]

LOOOOOOOOONG

[@taylorsmith9629]

The reason Colin doesn’t talk baseball anymore isn’t because he doesn’t like it it’s because MLB killed it and made it irrelevant.

[@superman31172]

that's why baseball sucks

[@akeffo]

Nothing can help baseball anymore. The demographic is old, the game is boring and way too expensive to attend. I no longer go and can’t watch it on TV. Soccer is the future in this country. It’s already happening.

[@taylorsmith9629]

Soccer will never touch NFL or basketball. People complain baseball is boring? There is nothing more boring than soccer besides golf. Even tennis is more interesting.

[@akeffo]

@@taylorsmith9629 Open your eyes. Look at what kids are playing. Yes the NFL is monster but has to use PR to get kids to play. Plus Mommies don’t want their kids to play a violent sport that causes brain injuries.

[@taylorsmith9629]

@@akeffo 20 years ago when i was a kid tons of us played soccer. We all grew up nfl fans who don’t care about soccer. It’s a boring as watching paint dry game.

[@GG-lr3gv]

To get to the MLB you aren’t human. To get to the MLB you can’t have an ego, it hasn’t been done. You don’t understand the game.

[@KinkESizemore]

What about Albert Belle? Barry Bonds? Milton Bradley Jr?

[@michaeltrinidad5825]

No, you can’t have a public ego. There isn’t a pitcher who doesn’t think he’s Pedro or Maddux or a hitter who doesn’t think he’s Jeter Bonds or Pujols.

Can't have ego? Wtf are u even talking about

[@deanjohnson7521]

baseball is lame

[@jeremydes100]

So are you...what do you like? Football? Men in tights??

[@johndottaviano5113]

jeremy desrochers dude don't deny it baseball is really lame it can't compete with other sports like Football soccer basketball and hockey

[@WarPigs413]

Baseball is king

[@aziza322]

baseball is not a sport.

[@eosa]

False.

[@MrOasis316]

Joel T anything that has a defence

[@MrOasis316]

Claren Dennis I agree with ya on golf not being a sport. Golf is a good walk spoiled lol

[@timtebow2444]

Jose needs to respect the game more than that. He complains to much. Remember he was trying start a brawl after the run scored in the Rangers half of 7.

[@X64813]

Keaton Rees Go back to your retirement home old man!

[@PlutoTheSecond]

No he wasn't! He was in right field telling the fans to calm down.

[@BrendanTheGent]

follow the code, regardless of feeling.. I disagree with youlook at his face while flipping the bat, no pride or happiness on the face, all I see is a smug look. no respect

[@ksang0013]

suck it

[@michaeltrinidad5825]

Alright Dyson get off the burner acc.

[@terryliamakeros4552]

Did you not hear what he said after

[@austinhowser7838]

BrendanTheGent you ate everything wrong with baseball. Go live under a rock boomer.

[@MrMultiPlatform]

there's a reason ESPN fired this guy.

[@fuzzylumpkins219805]

The Casual Hardcore Gamer there's also a reason fox hire d him

[@666kingdrummer]

Umm, he didn't get fired, he resigned

Because espn likes left leaning knuckledragging script reading zombies

[@Trx-ep7rg]

Doing a bat flip is alright. But doing a Bautista-level bat flip is disrespectful.

[@jordinhocharles]

Trx 1136 shut up you panzy

[@WarPigs413]

All showboating in sports is “disrespectful” but it’s entertaining af

[@kev27kev27]

The Rangers waiting until Joey's last at bat of the following season to drill him is disrespectful......and cowardly....embarrassing.....childish.....pathetic....

[@markgodfrey7889]

I have no problems with bat flips, but what Bautista did wasn't just a bat flip. It was blatant disrespect for the opponent. It was excessive. That's what the problem was. And many others out there are fighting the same battle as him. He shouldn't be given a pass simply for making the postseason for the 1st time.

[@cnn8420]

So pitchers can celebrate right after a strike out but batters can't celebrate. Never understood that. Not to mention that Latinos are given a harder time in baseball so please give me a break.

[@darthrevan6]

+Mark Godfrey you must be fun at parties

[@franko8858]

+darthrevan6 Ad hominem. Yeah, Bautista has a flair but there is a fine line between celebrating the moment and being sort of a douche and making it about yourself. Yeah, I'm not good at parties either.

[@darthrevan6]

Frank O Dude was living his best moment of his life. Sorry if he offended you with his attitude!

[@SchulzEricT]

+Mark Godfrey Yeah; Bautista also let his voice get elevated when being interviewed, because he's a piece of shit who doesn't respect the game of baseball. It's not supposed to be fun, goddamn it. What an asshole. I hope they cut him for his lack of class. Frankly, he shouldn't have even swung at the ball; is there anything more disrespectful than showing up your opponent and making them look bad by crushing a pitch like that? A true gentleman would respect all the work Sam Dyson has put into being a professional pitcher and let him get the strike.
