Weak response.
Weak response.
He said he was talking to the umpire lol. Everybody knows he was talking to Flowers. Huge douche move. I have a feeling that Mac would have went absolutely nuts if he had been catching.
Braves are looking like bitches right now. Donaldson spazzing out a few weeks ago and now Flowers crying about something. He said he was talking to the umpire in this video, but later on said he said something to Flowers. Who knows the actual details, but who cares. Baseball is the tough guy sport where words hurt your feelings.
First, could you not say the exact same about Contreras? It looks like he got so upset simply because Flowers smiled at him while he himself was crying about calls.Quote:

I don't know why people act like when baseball players do it, it's all about the 'unwritten rules' and 'being a tough guy'. It's just life. It's dumb, but it happens all the time everywhere.
it's honestly just niners being his usual dumb self. nothing he says makes sense, follows any actual logic, or frankly means anything.Quote:

I enjoyed the whole incident very much.
Sad that Flowers got punked in this game, but it was very entertaining.
Big deal over nothing, just like JD's silliness.
"Who are you looking at?"...seriously?
Just dudes getting worked up and arguing, something every guy has done a few times in his life then looks back on and realizes he was being dumb.
Far more effective just to laugh at the other guy in these situations.
Its honestly no different than the your behavior on this board as a grown man... you just get to hide behind your keyboardQuote:

Young guys act like young guys, just as they always have.
