Joey doing the slide was definitely unnecessary, but not surprising.
All this time we heard the talk from the Rangers and media (not everyone, but enough people) about the bat flip being disrespectful, etc. All the talk was about the code.
And then the Rangers wait until the last AB in the 7th time they have played the Jays this year, and get a guy who wasnt in the series last fall to plunk Jose. They should have got it out of the way if they were going to talk about code and they didnt.
I think Jose is far from innocent here - if he wasnt a Jay maybe i hate the bat flip - but the Rangers dragging this out was ridiculous.
