Bat flips are in the news again, but they’re not all the same

A baseball player had too much fun on Wednesday and a pitcher took offense, so bat flips are in the news again. In case you missed it, Tim Anderson hit a no-doubt home run to left field in the second inning at the park formerly known as the Cell. As you can see from MLB Barrel Alert he absolutely crushed this ball:

In the sixth inning, Brad Keller thought Anderson was a little too happy about that home run so Keller hit him with a pitch, which led to the benches clearing on the South Side and Joe West ejecting people.
