Whole article about this today. I have never cared for too much celebration, but I cannot really get too spun up much either. Sometimes the "men playing a kids game" stuff bleeds over into the reality that there is a Peter Pan quality to too many "men" in baseball when it comes to this stuff, where as they are "it a business" when it is time to count the coin. I think that the infamous "scout" comment is a bit over the top itself.

"Brown better watch it with that weak act he's pulling after his home runs," one scout said. "He's going to tick off the wrong pitcher and wind up wearing it. There are a lot of people watching who hope it changes soon. It's very unprofessional."

Really? Weak act? Which has been pine rider is this?!? Pretty sad.

Has to be a Nationals scout

why can't DOM just sprint around the bases like Bryce fucking Harper?

Because he doesn't want to end up with a bum knee like Harper.

"Brown better watch it with that weak act he's pulling after his home runs," one scout said. "He's going to tick off the wrong pitcher and wind up wearing it."

That sounds like one of Stark's "scouts"

this guy who just won two consecutive player of the week awards and the player of the month award better watch it or he'll tick someone off

the bat is merely exploding out of his hands after the force of squaring those baseballs; i havent seen one weak act bat flip

According to an unnamed, middle-aged, white baseball scout from middle America, never has "swag" and "showing up the pitcher" been so GUTLESS and COWARDLY

chewing tobacco stains on that proposed 15 game suspension

Oh no, someone might get hit by a pitch. Yikes.

you'd think he was runnin' the bases naked or something

Guaranteed that wasn't a scout... it was Mike Rizzo.

has anyone walked around the bases after a home run in recent memory?

I don't give a shit if he runs the bases facing backwards like Jimmy Piersall (after a HR against Dallas Green, btw). It's just dumb from a self-preservation standpoint. Why risk injury by baiting pitchers into throwing at you?
