Max Muncy smashed a solo home run to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead over the Giants. Muncy flipped his bat after the hit, drawing the ire of Giants SP Madison Bumgarner.
Then, Muncy tossed in a verbal jab for good measure as he rounded the bases.
“I told him: ‘If you don’t want me to watch the ball you can go in the ocean and get it,’ ” Muncy said. “Honestly, I thought it was probably one of my tamer bat-flips that I’ve ever done. I didn’t actually think it was anything outrageous. I took one or two steps out of the box, started jogging, and that was really all it was.”

Pitchers are way too sensitive sometimes.
Bumgarner: “I can’t even say it with a straight face but the more I think about it, I should just let the kids play. But I just … I can’t. … They want to let everybody be themselves, then let me be myself. That’s me.”

I mean the guy hit a homer, didn’t see much else in terms of showboating there.
MadBum got mad at Max Muncy because he took him deep.
Deal with it.
