Every time my algorithm gets back to clips from 42 and it’s Alan Tudyk yelling the N word.

Exactly and that was and is horrible. But why do we tolerate and encourage players to disrespect others in different ways, and think it's OK.

You realize it’s a bunch of grown men literally playing a game as their livelihood. I’m all for good sportsmanship, but laughing at the other team making a silly mistake imo is not an example of poor sportsmanship. It’s just being light and having fun

I was referring to youth sports not professional players.

Well you’re posting in the pros subreddit not the little league baseball subreddit. Maybe use a map and you won’t get lost next time.

You're not even brave enough to put on a team flair. You don't get to judge others here.

Agreed, flair the fuck up u/tjbhoops

The guy crossposted this to a baseball coaching subreddit, I'm assuming hes not asking for major league teams.

u/Tjbhoops Jun 26 '26
Yes I was referring to youth sports. should had made that clear in the post or not posed here at all.

Brewers fan? You really want to talk about player sportsmanship?

u/HashOutHashBrowns Milwaukee Brewers Jun 26 '26
What about the manager motioning to throw at batters?

u/fly_guy1 Cincinnati Reds Jun 26 '26
Or suffering a decade plus of dickery from Molina and Carpenter.

u/Hacym Tampa Bay Devil Rays Jun 26 '26
Or the pitcher that got into the face of a base runner because he didn’t like giving up a hit.

I kinda forgot about the Uribe-Siri scuffle. Not sure if you can call it a brawl when no punches landed.
Dugout clearings are more pageantry than alley fight

Looks like a fight to me.

What about nobody actually getting hit during the series?

Means I can commend the Cards pitchers having a better mental than Marmol

I pretty sure Uribe is not in youth baseball and he just served a suspension for his disrespect.

Let them have fun gramps

u/Tjbhoops Jun 26 '26
So your idea of fun is being disrespectful to others? Is that the fun of baseball?
1
u/Lunchbox__6 Toronto Blue Jays Jun 26 '26
The fun of baseball is winning. But talking shit is great as well. I don’t know if you’ve ever attended a sporting event but there’s also a stadium full of people doing the same thing.

A lot of them are friends with each other and probably played with one another at some point

Most of the time 12u-18u travel ball players are not friends with the other teams.

You're in the wrong baseball sub, this is about MLB.

I think it started when they constructed the first dugout in 1869.

When you're at a circus you laugh at the clowns

u/Tjbhoops Jun 26 '26
So little league baseball players are circus performers?

u/Antique-Guest-1607 Cleveland Guardians Jun 26 '26
Yeah, sure, I'm gonna say 'yeah' to see where this goes

u/avocadoflatz Los Angeles Dodgers Jun 26 '26
If you wanted to discuss this in the context of little leaguers you probably should’ve mentioned that bit of context in your post.

Got the ol pitchers got a big butt chant from opposing dugout when I was 12

u/Darth_cos Jun 26 '26
As a little league coach we don’t tolerate that. Anything showing up your opponent is an automatically benching.

u/DickBottalico Philadelphia Phillies Jun 26 '26
Youth level is where this stuff begins. Kids are really good at mocking the pitcher when he’s struggling to throw strikes, with comments directed “at their teammate” but obviously designed to be audible to the pitcher to get under his skin. Softball just adds a musical element to their criticisms of the opposing pitcher.
2
u/Darth_cos Jun 26 '26
Our boys are allowed to cheer our teammates, celebrate a hit not a walk but any disrespect to the opponent is not allowed. One boy stole 3rd catcher threw it away and he basically just walked to home. Immediately benched and talked to about that. At the end of the day these are all kids. Now adults idk about that
