I loved it. And I think if you look at it as just an at bat and home run, you are selling yourself short. This bat flip was much more than that.
This is about some weird rule where a catcher throws the ball back to the pitcher, hits a bat, and is considered a live ball. This is about the umps awarding a player home. This is about the fans in the stadium and probably a city about to riot. This is about a perceived injustice and the them against us mentality with the umps in their pocket.
I saw this as more of a Jobu moment than anything else. You want to screw us out of our chance ump, well **** you, I will make it so you have no chance. Booya. Suck it blue.
