Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Sets Assist High In Easy Win Over Sacramento

Open Gameday Thread, 5/15

Houston Astros at San Francisco Giants, May 15, 2008 12:45 PM PDT


One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal fastball went snicker-snack!
He left the hitter flat, and with its bat
He went galumphing back.

"And has thou slain the Berkman?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

I don’t really get why anyone cares. Emotions run high during ballgames. Get over it. Giants pitchers have done fist pumps after getting Ks before and no one got angry at them.

It’s understandable when the play is made in a dire situation (i.e. Matthew Cain with the glove punch). Not when you get and out in a blowout game

I just can’t bring myself to get angry about it. If you don’t want him to fist pump or you don’t want a hitter to flip his bat after hitting a homer, then don’t strike out or don’t give up a jack.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never watched him pitch a game (been unable to watch any games at all since he came up). But I’ve never gotten all that bent out of shape over Carlos Zambrano and I doubt I’ll care all that much about Joba.

Apparently Goose Gossage contacted Joba about his celebration fist-pump-scream thing he does when he K’s someone and told him to tone it down. Kruk and Kuip basically agreed with Goose, saying that it’s bush to celebrate like that, especially if you’re only pitching the 8th inning.

by xanthan on May 15, 2008 12:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

I only hate this type of behavior

if the same pitcher also gets upset when someone stands there and watches a homerun. If you celebrate striking someone out, you get to watch me do cartwheels all around the bases after I take you yard.
