Jerking around between pitches is bad enough but should the better players get more of a privilege? You know, sort of like how much grandstanding a player may do after hitting a home run.
Among Yankee batters Robinson Cano jerks around the longest between pitches. Derek Jeter is probably next. But Cano is the Yankees' best player and Jeter is the iconic captain. So even though jerking around is totally unacceptable in a civilized society, some players may be entitled to some slack.
However, the backup Yankee catcher, Chris Stewart, jerks around about as much as Jeter. What the heck? And during a recent series in Seattle, Mariner batters with averages below .200 were jerking around like they were Derek Jeter.
The Major Baseball League (MBL) seems oblivious to this problem, which is an integral part of the entire jerking around problem that plagues the MBL. Boring does not even begin to describe what passes for the current MBL product. Entertaining it is not, no matter how much the MBL sycophants try to pretend that the MBL emperor is still clothed.
