The Bat Flip Thread

[apete6]

Tom Lawless had a 0.120 slugging percentage and a -19 OPS+ for the cardinals in 1987. He had 1 home run in 4 years, but did this in the World Series.

 

Hahaha. Only the [expletive] Cardinals.

 

But that's an outstanding bat flip.

This is fantastic, not because of the flip itself, but because it [expletive] breaks Jared Weaver. He just snaps.

 

Even Brian McCann is embarrassed for Weaver after watching that.

Yeah, gotta give him credit for that. That guy knows who he is and [expletive] everyone else; he is living that moment.

I would suggest a ban, but you know he would just be back with a hacked account.

I noticed the bat flip right away last night, and figured it'd make it to this thread. Wonderful.

next time he should crouch down and lay the bat down as softly as possible on the ground before starting his trot

Its times like this that I truly appreciate the fact that gif's loop endlessly. I could watch that HR swing 500 times haha

[philosophizer75]

In my attempt to watch it 500 times, I noticed the catcher and the ump both move their heads and bodies exactly the same way and it looks like they're admiring the blast

Just came to post that vid. Bat flips are so passe...

[treebird]

i am honestly surprised that the umpire is cool with that. it'd be one thing if it was anthony rizzo or somebody do it, but i'd be horrified that the kid was going to lose the bat and kill somebody.

Nobody seemed to have any issue with it...the catcher is all..."meh".

That video was amazing. It worked perfectly as a music video for the song I was listening to.

[PetermanRealityTour]

I would love to see Brian McCann watching that video

The Schwarber bat flip is the only thing keeping my sanity over the last 48 hours

Welington had a dope ass bat flip on this home run:
