There’s “playing the game the right way” and “playing the game the wrong way”. AJ didn’t “play the game the right way”, he “played the game the wrong way” to the people who enjoy to see athletes “play the game the right way” but he went about “playing the game the wrong way” all wrong in the eyes of fans and Deadspin…

How dare he slap home plate!

Because his face is “punchable”. AKA Tim Marchman is a middle schooler.

Not as convincing as when he deked Mets fans into thinking he was going to catch that ground ball in Game 4.

The results must be tainted if they do not align with the general sentiment of the Deadspin comment section! Everyone is surely offended by this term.

Thanks, let's do this again in 6 months.

If that’s what it takes to help you feel like this was worth it, ok.

This is what we call a false equivalence.

looks like they’re pretty livid about pitch #6, which is a called strike and is really low. Do you have a different video that shows us that #5 is the pitch they’re mad about?

Which is what you would do if it were your alma mater.

Dude, you’re posting on Deadspin. Tom Ley has done worse things today than Sandusky did in 60 years. Not to mention the systematic rape of the English language perpetrated by Samer.
