What is Donaldson barking at?

 

Good question. Did Feliz show a little excitement after striking him out or something?

 

Not whatsoever. Took a few steps toward first then circled back toward the mound.

Seems like Donaldson barks at a lot of people.

I rewatched it and not sure why He was talking crap

[adambr2]

Even if Feliz did get excited, which he didn't, baseball players are the most sensitive sallys on the planet about showing any joy.

Knebel & Feliz looking good. Lots of Brewers hitters smoking line drives. Arcia looking like a Gold Glove no hit ballplayer, and Villar with yet another error. They are going to need Perez or Franklin to be late inning defensive replacements for Villar soon enough, the guy is a complete defensive liability.

There is some history there, when Donaldson was with the A's and Feliz was with the Rangers. Not a big deal

I think he was upset that Manny was so excited over him striking out. There's probably some Rangers bad blood against Feliz too though.

I have to agree with above, baseball players have seriously become babies. Every player on the Brewers should have been excited about that play. Donaldson is a great power hitter, one run game in the ninth. Crowd was going nuts. That's a huge out to get. You see NFL players celebrate catches and runs constantly (not touchdowns, just first downs with the motion or the "feed" me thing) or even a big hit. You see NBA players do gestures when they hit a three, scream when they dunk and all that stuff. Hockey and soccer players celebrate goals with crazy dances and stuff (more in soccer).

 

But in MLB, watching a HR for a second or getting excited about a K and pumping your first - that's going too far.
