He must be an oldhead.

Youre anti bat flipping?

No. I'm neutral on the topic. Flip all you want.

I don't agree with the crowd that believes the act of flipping the bat somehow makes the home run more enjoyable.

I also believe that if you are pro bat flipping you have to be understanding of the opponent who thinks you are taunting him and decides to retaliate.

Right, because throwing a 95mph baseball at someone's head is the same as flipping a bat. Too many snowflakes in baseball. Can't wait for these old school players/managers to retire.

Why do want to define how people should enjoy the game?

Flip the bat. Pitch inside. It's all good.

No one is forcing the player to flip the bat. It is a choice.

There is almost no one who is head hunting. Obviously, if there was fear of head hunting people wouldn't flip the bat.

Latin exuberance has been used to dismiss every action from bat flipping to Soler attacking opponents so it doesn't seem to be about age.

The Sux had a crack at Aaron Judge in 2013, but they took Tim Anderson. Dick Hahn, the man with the plan.

The other day I saw that Skip and Shannon had basically declared him "Baseball LeBron" --- only conceding that he hasn't figured out the "entertainer" part where he milks day-to-day/daily melodrama during the regular season [to keep his name/brand atop the headlines].

I'll go with "baseball LeBron" once these same guys devote hours a week to dissecting an Aaron judge tweet/instagram/like to figure out what [future nickname for Judge] is REALLY meaning with his latest passive/aggro gesture =]
