In honor of Kurt Suzuki becoming manager, 10 years ago he yells expletives at Jose Ramirez for bat flipping a home run

1. Kurt’s lucky Jose didn’t knock ✊ his ass out too.

2. Honestly liked him as a player, but am baffled by his selection as our new skipper. Anybody who’s that close to Perry I have zero trust in.

3. We’ve come a long way in 10 years in regards to bat flips.

4. 

5. Oh so he’s a dork

6. Was just his 8th career homer but probably the last time they walked someone intentionally to get to Jose instead of him getting the ibb

7. Wow how do I remember this lol.

8. You know, bro! 🏠🏃‍♂️🍑

9. Ah, so he’s part of the old “no fun in baseball” club. Got it.

10. Kurt was the first and only catcher I saw personally applying pine tar to his shin guards. Im sure others do it but as a kid that memory is for whatever reason has always stood out to me

11. It’s always fun to learn about these unwritten rules in sports. Like how do these big, tough manly men turn into toddlers at the most banal little things? Flipping a bat makes you fill a diaper? Grow up

12. If you don’t want Jose to bat flip tell your pitcher to stop throwing home run pitches

13. Am I dreaming? Or didn’t he loudly and proudly put the MAGA hat on a few years back? And was that for the 2019 championship? Or something else?

14. God they look like such babies whining about this.

    So glad it’s not like this anymore.

15. Anyone remember when Brian McCann stood in front of home plate and confronted Carlos Gomez after Gomez hit a home run and took slow home run trot. Good stuff.

16. The 2016 Twins were pretty used to others bat flipping on them. I’d be upset too if I saw this 5 times a game.

17. Kurt MAGA Suzuki you say? No way…

18. So many gripes about bat flips and dugout home run celly’s just a few years ago.

19. They sound like a bunch of soft whiny babies complaining about bat flips.

20. No guys you don’t get it, you can’t hurt the pitcher’s feelings or the opposing team’s feelings or the umpire’s feelings. There is no crying in baseball so don’t make anyone cry please

21. Lmao who has ever cared about this shit

22. Lmao on the announcers… “you just __dont’t__ do that… NOT GOOD”.

    Like he slapped a baby and kicked a dog on his way to first.

23. He’s going to fit in great with the Angels.

24. Crying about bat flips was always hilarious to me. Yell at your damn millionaire pitcher for missing his spot 😂😂

25. He’s yelling “Get the fuck off the field, motherfucker” to a guy who’s doing just that, lol.

26. So embarrassing to see the Twins being so whiny and soft.

    Don’t want bat flips, keep the ball in the park.

27. I think Kurt Suzuki has had about enough…of the Cleveland Guardians

28. With the team he’s managing, he better get used to the opposition flipping their bats.

29. Oh he is one of those type of people

30. I’m really good at reading lips.

    He said “Aww, darn! That wasn’t very swell of you, kind sir.”

31. This guy better watch out. We all saw how it turned out for Tim Anderson.

32. I never understood the unwritten rule about bat flipping. The dude just hit a homerun, the adrenaline, and the moment, I think the last thing a player thinks about is properly dropping the bat. Plus it’s not like some over-the-top celebration like the NFL.

33. whats wrong with flipping the bat? this isnt the NFL, you’re allowed to have fun.

34. My lip reading is a little bit rusty, but I appreciate him telling the batter, “That’s a great hit, well done, sir!” What a good guy.

35. That’s bullshit. Get the fuck off the field motherfucker.
