Look... Ideally, Baez should have been warned. Garrett should have been warned.
But we aren't there yet. Historically, things have always been settled by "unwritten rules." Most don't want/like those anymore, myself included. But there hasn't yet been anything put in place for things like taunting that were previously settled by the aforementioned "unwritten rules."
They either need some "written rules" to specify what is and is not acceptable. Or MLB will turn into a 1000 Trevor Bauers/ Amir Garretts/etc all competing for ESPN time. Some of you want this. Others, like me, think that baseball would be a clown show at that point.
I don't think that's too difficult of a point to grasp, and it sure as heck isn't trolling. Not sure why you needed to go there.

Unpaid vacation if this is upheld on appeal.

So we just need Bell to become Clint Hurdle and we'd be the Pirates from a few years back (lol). IMO, there's a difference betweeen playing hard, being scrappy, whatever ... and being an arrogant a-hole with an attitude everybody hates, and when you play them you want to throw at their players. Remember a few years back, when everyone was going after the bad-boy Pirates trying to be the intimidator by throwing at the opposition?
One can only take that bad boy w/a chip on his shoulder rep so far. We've been one of the worst teams in MLB for the last several years. We made an expanded play-off format last year, barely .500, a WC, after a 60 game season, and got immediately embarassed (while entering the record books). So management saved a lot of money by cutting payroll and replacing that lost talent from last season with swagger, which is free and comes at an unlimited supply.
IMO, we have no right to swagger or have an attitude. That's like Barney Fife trying to act like Sheriif (lol). Swagger, carrying an attitude, IMO, is earned and comes with winning.

Just strike the dude out, pump your fist, and yell "yeah!" or whatever, if you must. That's acceptable. What we're trying to avoid is:

I'm not a system player. I am a system.
The problem with the WWE is not the overacting and drama. That’s the good part. The problem with the WWE is that it’s fixed and scripted, and rather cliche.Just strike the dude out, pump your fist, and yell "yeah!" or whatever, if you must. That's acceptable. What we're trying to avoid is:
I want baseball to be more like the WWE in regards to players showing emotion, trash talking, having fun, as long as it’s authentic and genuine. It would be much more entertaining, and attract many more young fans.

Other than being shirtless, I don't see what in that gif is all that different from a "curtain call". A guy makes a big play, the crowd is worked up and wants more, you go to the top step and cajole the crowd a bit.Just strike the dude out, pump your fist, and yell "yeah!" or whatever, if you must. That's acceptable. What we're trying to avoid is:
What I don't understand is all the issues with the NBA in this thread. The NBA keeps getting lumped in with pro-wrestling, and I'm not sure why that is.
yep, and the Reds are still below 500, and will likely finish the year below 500, despite this "new attitude".. They are still a doormat.

I know I personally don’t really want MLB to become more like the NFL or especially the NBA, in the sense that when you watch the broadcasts or media surrounding those leagues, like the vast majority of the coverage is about drama between players or something rather than the games being played. Right now the NFL has the drama with Aaron Rodgers trying to get traded from the Packers and nonstop tweets and coverage about that. And I swear when it comes to the NBA, the vast majority of the extremely online NBA fanbase thinks that league is just a soap opera and pays attention mostly just for players beefing with each other, I feel like half those people don’t even actually watch the basketball.
In my book MLB is doing a great job of avoiding that and not turning the sport into a soap opera mainly focused on the interpersonal drama or narratives between players. Watching a Sunday Night Football broadcast is borderline intolerable for that stuff. I’ve never seen an MLB game have the same problem.
