The answer is no.. and unfortunately it looks like they have found something the last couple of weeks.
I saw on rally cap tonight a clip where a player hits a homerun,stands and slowly walks toward 1st base,the rest of the team comes out along the first baseline,and the hitter high 5' a teammate halfway down the line,good thing he did not talk to the other dugout,might get suspended.for them,the apple does fall far the tree if you get my meaning
Typical for the Vols—seems like they’re continually trying to wrestle the longhorns arrogance crown away. I’m all for fiery ball players but at least act like you’ve been there before. Regardless of their talent their behavior makes them a joke.
I get the point here.. but thats exactly why he wasnt warned /or ejected if already repeatedly warned throughout series. .. Nothing directed at opponent. Dumb rules but they are pretty clear in this regard.. Now a bat flip can/maybe should be considered taunting I guess,, but its not per these new rules. And yes, players do what HCs allow.
Did he yell "let's go" because he would have gotten a 4 game suspension for that kind of un-sportsman like outburst.
Everyone saw and plainly read the lips of the Corndogs hitter when he went yard and then screamed at the pitcher(while looking directly at him)as he pranced down the first base line “f**% you—you p***%” with no repercussions from the umpiring crew….. There’s just no consistency in how the rule is enforced.
Nope its certainly at umps discretion. If they dont issue any warnings, then keep acting a fool.. But if get a touchy ump that gives warning game 1(& 2) dont be shocked when he finally pulls trigger IMO I forget who, but there was also a bird flipper on HR while rounding bases earlier this year that wasnt warned/ejected. I hate these rules as much as anyone, prob more. But no one is getting tossed for it until after being told to knock it off at least once.
