HR = getting paid. Mercedes needs to look after himself.

To me this falls in the middle . This was a position player lobbing a 45 MPH why won’t this game end lobber . Mercedes swung like he was trying to win the World Series
It’s like the 21 year old in softball hacking up 20 in the beer league game and celebrating
However - it is a professional league so do what you want . But don’t be surprised to be hit for being a jackass
Both sides were wrong, and as an old school I don’t like showing up your opponent (who isn’t even a pitcher) . It’s like roofing a 4-1 empty netter and fist pumping and wondering why you get punched
The Dodgers and SD characters are great for the game. Have some fun. But there is something called sportsmanship , and if you want to embarrass an opponent who has conceded the game there may be reprocussions
