If you want to keep a scorecard of the bad blood between the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers and where everything fits into the nebulous world of the baseball code, it goes something like this:
Jose Bautista: Excessive bat flip and staredown after mammoth, series-turning home run off Sam Dyson in last year's playoffs. Code ruling: Violation! At least under the old-school version of "Play the game the right way." Of course, you have to ignore that it came in a huge moment, gave the Blue Jays the lead in front of a jazzed-up home crowd that hadn't series the Blue Jays win a playoff series in 22 years and went absolutely bonkers, and that the ball was crushed all the way to Manitoba.
