"admiring a HR bomb for a few seconds isn’t anything that even needs policing"

That's not what Gomez did, he started taunting the pitcher right out of the box verbally and then proceeded to taunt every player Notice the pitcher never did a thing but stare at him.

Admiring a home run ball or a simple bat flip can be debated as they happen. I agree there are pitchers who are too sensitive, but this Gomez video is all on Gomez. It's a perfect example of when you stand up to a player disgracing his opponents and the game.
