Absolutely. In order to be a demonstrative “a hole” and get away with it, you need to be on our team and you need to produce.

You also need to be able to cuss loud enough for the entire ballpark to hear

Old school is ok with him being a hot dog as long as he is ok taking one in the ear next time he comes up.

Yea, because assault is so much more entertaining.

I’m just saying that is what old school would do. I’m not saying it should be done.

A slow homerun trot vs a severe intentional brain injury. Yea, that makes sense.
And why do pitchers always walk off the field at the end of an inning, while staring down a batter, while te rest of their team jogs off? Do they need a bat across the forehead,

Understand I’m just saying that was old school. I’m not supporting it.

Unless you’re doing some performative Jeffery Leonard thing or calling your shot like Ruth, that ‘old school’ [shirt] is dumb.

So some guy shows excitement for beating you. Get some thick skin and strike him out next time.

+1 if a player is so weak mentally he’s triggered by someone watching a home run they need to go get some metal health treatment

I always say, it’s not the slow trot that embarrass the picture. It should’ve been the 400 foot home run that embarrassed the pitcher.

Right.

Emotion is fine.

But most of the time its about "look at me". Build "my brand"
[nonsense].

Be original and stop following the crowd.

These are highly competitive athletes and if Im the opponent and you're deliberately trying to show me up than you're just asking for trouble.

Your opponent didn’t show you up. Your lack of play showed you up. It’s pretty simple.

[Cardinals1964]

I just saw the Joshua Baez homerun from yesterday on YouTube. He strutted to first, carrying his bat while watch the ball fly.
I’m sure nobody wants to see him ever be called up to the major leagues. If he’s gonna act like that without ever hitting a major league home run, how will he act in front of all your poor poor children that are trying to learn how to play the game old school.

I would never advocate for throwing at someone's head.
But other than that, your point is spot on.
If a hitter wants to strike an exaggerated pose for hitting a ball with a stick, more power to him.
And if the pitcher wants to force the batter to pose laying prone on the ground next time around, more power to him as well.
After all, there is nothing wrong with pitching inside, far inside, to prevent another home run.
Fact is, of the two, pitching inside even if it results in knocking down or hitting the batter serves a legitimate baseball purpose, whereas posing for the camera does not.

I like this.

Because a big part of the reasoning is based on strategy, not retaliation. You’re trying to pitch the person inside and get them uncomfortable because they were obviously very comfortable the last time at that. Giving them something to think about, without some macho retaliation thing.

The goal in the end is still to get them out

I’m not advocating it but as you know “chin music” was often used. Not acceptable today it was used in the past to send a message and really not that long ago. I DONT THINK IT SHOULD BE DONE.
