It's much to early in the game for that kind of thing isn't it? I guess it's the 9th inning 'somewhere'

Must be dollar beer night somewhere.

I love how Joyce just walks away!!  NICE!

 

I also likes how he doesn't fly off the handle and eject him the instant he threw his bat like we've seen in other EJs this season ....

That looked to be a perfect example of what I'll take in that type of situation. I'm prepared to accept that something like throwing the bat and helmet are signs of frustration that the player feels to himself: "why did I watch that pitch?" rather than "why did he call that a strike?" Up until the point they say something that proves otherwise. Then they've cut their leash to be very short. Even assuming they say nothing, I'll still have a word with the manager and won't accept more of the same from anyone else on that team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was great. Gave him plenty of rope, then gave him the gate. And at that moment Johnson ceased to exist to Jim Joyce.

Great example of what to do. No need to stay and have spit throw at you.

Great example of what to do. No need to stay and have spit throw at you. Exactly. Toss and turn. The tossee is no longer a part of the game.
