Major League Baseball wants players to show emotion during games but it appears not everyone is willing to give up the long-standing unwritten rules of the game.
“Our offensive celebrations should be just as big in baseball. And then the offensive player should not get upset when the guy strikes a guy out to end the inning, or gets a key out, and all of a sudden drops to his knee and does a fist pump off the mound.”Hershiser noted one reason why these incidents stand out in 2019. The level of violence on the diamond has fallen.
Kershaw experienced a version of this last week against the Reds. He was upset when Cincinnati pitcher Luis Castillo hit Cody Bellinger in the kneecap with a 95.5 mph fastball. In an earlier era, Kershaw might have felt compelled to answer.
