I think we're seeing a cultural shift in the game. For decades there were unwritten rules that nearly every player followed. You learn the rules - Krusty Aug 18, 10:52 4
- And even then - 10-0 ... kind of shitty. 2-0, you're the tying run, get on however you can! - Reagen Aug 18, 11:07
- If they're unwritten, they ain't rules. They're hardly even guidelines. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:54 2
  - It's how the players police the game themselves, sort of. The players over the years have decided there are things you should or shouldn't do - Krusty Aug 18, 17:30
  - Show me in the rules where I can't bang on a garbage can! -- nm - Mopsy Aug 18, 10:55
cause baseball players are prima donnas who get the feewings hurt, I guess -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 10:29 3
- Or perhaps some vague notion of sportsmanship. If you're up 64-0 in the fifth inning, sure, take the K. If you're still in single-digits, the notion… - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:53 2
  - Correct. That's the issue here. People that are upset with him thought the game was well in hand so he shouldn't be looking to swing away - Krusty Aug 18, 10:56 1
    - Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:58
