Because that's extremely good stuff and was the only option for revenge the Yankees had: serving up Naylor a cold dish of disappointment by play well. One team responded to the histrionics and it wasn't the one sporting home red. It was a fine response though it was not a needed a response. And make no mistake, that's what this little parental message was and is all about. The solo shot cut the Gorging on the desert without sustenance leaves one unsatisfied. And while there's a lot to this idea and the product has been improved by relaxing the stance toward bat flips and showboating, nothing about baseball culture is black and white. At the end of the day, there are two ways to assess performance. And that Naylor was breaking the terms of that deal. The self-appointed Cool and Chill sect on Twitter reflexively defended Naylor, as expected. Baseball is pastoral and unbounded by the same dead-ball punitive measures its peers employ. This may be what you want out of sports and that's understandable.
