What about Kirk Gibson fist pumping? Or Joe Carter jumping up and down around the bases? It's emotion. I don't think Bautista flipped his bat to show up the pitcher. It seems like he tossed the bat out of excitement.
I know we have talked about Carlos Gomez. I don't like the pitcher stare down, but Bautista didn't stare anybody down.
The only argument that makes sense to me, is the 7th inning part. But it was a big moment in the biggest game of their season.Both of those are examples of walk-off home runs and not a clutch home run in the bottom of a 7th inning. To me they are a little different.
I tend to think it is a little bit of a double standard when it comes to celebrations with hitters and pitchers. Flip a bat or watch your home run too long - pitchers get a little sensitive and you are probably getting drilled the next time you are up. Pitcher gets a key strikeout or induces a double play to help to get out of jam and there is no problem with them throwing pump fists or screaming at the top of their lungs on the way to the dugout.
Personally I don't mind the emotion from either side as long as it isn't excessive.

If Bautista in any way motioned to the pitcher or the Rangers dugout, different story.
I love it. The only thing that keeps me from being a full fledged bandwagon Cubs fan is the fact my Dodgers are still in the playoffs.funny
